Agnetha Fältskog is recording new material for the first time in eight years. According to Aftonbladet's, a new album has been confirmed by her spokesperson Staffan Lindé.

 

"Yes, it's true that she's back in the studio again" he told the newspaper.

 

Reports also state that she is working with producer Jörgen Elofsson, who has written and produced songs for Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and Westlife, as well as the song 'When You Tell The World You're Mine' for CrownPrincess Victoria's wedding celebrations. However these reports have not been confirmed.

 

Agnetha Fältskog released several solo albums in the 70s and 80s. In 2004 she released her last album 'My Colouring Book' after a silence of 17 years.

 

Oh how I HOPE this amounts to something substantial.

We are pleased to bring you confirmed news regarding Agnetha's much-awaited album and single releases at this time!

 

In Germany, Agnetha's first single off her new album will be "The One Who Loves You Now", released today, March 11, 2013. It will be downloadable from iTunes as well as other digital outlets in Germany, and radio airplay will begin as well. Other countries will see "When You Really Loved Someone" as their single release today.

 

The album, titled "A", will be released on May 10, 2013. It will contain 10 songs. Here is the track listing:

 

1. The One Who Loves You Now

2. When You Really Loved Someone

3. Perfume In the Breeze

4. I Was a Flower

5. I Should’ve Followed You Home

6. Past Forever

7. Dance Your Pain Away

8. Bubble

9. Back On Your Radio

10. I Keep Them On the Floor Beside My Bed

 

"I Should've Followed You Home" is a duet with Gary Barlow of Take That, while "I Keep Them On The Floor Beside My Bed" has been co-written by Agnetha herself at home in the countryside. The thoughtful-sounding "Bubble" aptly expresses Agnetha's attitude towards glamour and the limelight, "Dance Your Pain Away" is a rousing disco number, "Back On Your Radio" is crystal clear pop, while "Past Forever" is a piano-based track with its chorus containing something kind of like Agnetha's life motto: "What can't be broken: the kind of love that lasts."

 

Agnetha spoke about her new album at Stockholm's Grand Hotel. In the accompanying press release, she talks about how she felt when she went into the studio for the first time together with producers Jörgen Elofsson and Peter Nordahl: "The album as such didn't worry me, but my voice really did. I had not sung for such a long time, so I must have thought: What should I do if it's suddenly gone?"

 

"It was a good friend of mine who got all this going", explains Agnetha. "She called me and told me that Jörgen Elofsson and Peter Nordahl wanted to play a few of their compositions for me. So they came by and played three songs for me, and I just thought: 'For heaven's sake, I just have to join in'. It felt exactly like the right kind of challenge. I asked my daughter: 'What do you think? Should I do it?' and she answered: 'You should think about this thoroughly. Everything could start all over again.' The recording sessions were wonderful, but you have to face that these recordings may have consequences afterwards."

Perfume In The Breeze and I Keep Them On the Floor Beside My Bed are amazing song titles! :lol: And I'm very excited to hear 'rousing disco number' Dance Your Pain Away!

I am absolutely ADORING BOTH of the new singles right now. It really is just SO GOOD to have her back.
Loving them too, can't wait for the album. I wonder if she will do the interval act performance in Malmo? If she did I would hate gooddelta FOREVER...

She's in London doing PROMO that week I'm fairly certain and in a couple of interviews she has said she's 'beyond the live performance' phase of her career so I think it's a VERY long shot.

Wow, really? I heard she'd already filmed a couple of UK TV shows. I would kill to see her live though, even if she just stood there and looked regal.

'When You Loved Someone' is incredible. In typical gaynormous fashion it really lyrically "speaks to me".

 

Yay for Agnetha.

Unashamedly loving the sh!t out of 'When You Really Loved Someone' :wub:

I'm a sucker for Swedish pop though and I love anything that Jörgen Elofsson touches generally..

Surprised there's no buzz in here about Dance Your Pain Away, it's probably the best thing she's recorded in decades (not that it had much competition!). As an aside, album track I Was A Flower is free on Amazon MP3 at the moment!

Dance Your Pain Away is quite ludicrously brilliant but I would probably only rank it about 10th in a solo works ranking, behind both singles from the album in fact.
