PRE-ORDER TITLE. RELEASED FRIDAY JULY 28TH 2017.
ABBA:
four letters; four unique talents. Collectively, Agnetha Fältskog, Björn
Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad are known for creating
some of the most vital pop music in the world; individually, however,
they were just as creative.
Their solo albums may sometimes
remain best-kept secrets for ABBA’s long-term fans, but, taken together,
they see the four individual members explore a range of styles, from
the understated folk-rock leanings of Björn and Benny’s 1970 outing,
Lycka, to the contemporary pop-rock of Anni-Frid’s 1982 album
Something’s Going On, which was produced by none other than Phil Collins
and went on to become the first English-language solo album by an ABBA
member – and the best-selling ABBA solo album to date.
In 1985,
Agnetha Fältskog enjoyed similar success with the globe-trotting Eyes Of
A Woman (it featured contributions from seasoned British musicians,
among them The Moody Blues’ Justin Hayward, and was produced by 10cc’s
Eric Stewart), which comfortably became a hit around the world, entering
the Top 40 in the UK, the Top 20 in Norway, and peaking at No.2 in her
Swedish homeland.
Wrap Your Arms Around Me is the first
English-language solo album by former ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog.
Counting her previous solo albums recorded in the Swedish language, it
was her seventh album overall. The album was released by Polar Music on
31 May 1983 and was produced by Mike Chapman. The first track from the
album, "The Heat Is On", is commonly regarded as Fältskog's best-known
1980s solo hit, it was a hit all over Europe and Scandinavia. It reached
number one in Sweden and Norway and number two in the Netherlands and
Belgium.
Eyes of a Woman is the second English-language solo
album by Swedish singer and former ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog, and her
eighth album overall. It was released in March 1985 and was produced by
Eric Stewart (of 10cc fame). The tracks "One Way Love" and "I Won't Let
You Go" were released as singles throughout Europe. Eyes of a Woman
became Fältskog's second album to reach the UK Top 40, reaching No.38.
In Sweden, the album peaked at No. 2. It also reached the Top 20 in
Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium, and the Top 30 in west Germany.
During the photo sessions for the sleeve of the album, Agnetha posed at
the terrace of Drottningholm Palace, the official residence of the
Swedish royal family, in Stockholm. Notable songwriters who contributed
to the album included Jeff Lynne, Justin Hayward as well as Eric Stewart
himself.
