ABBA talks new songs and reunion TV special

At the London premiere of Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again, ABBA co-founder Bjorn Ulvaeus shed light on the group’s two reunion songs, saying, “One of them is a pop tune, very danceable (while) the other is more timeless, more reflective, that is all I will say. It is Nordic sad, but happy at the same time.” One of the two new songs, titled “I Still Have Faith In You” will be performed by a digital recreation of ABBA in a TV special produced by NBC and the BBC aimed for broadcasting in December.

Meanwhile, Cher — one of the stars of the new Mamma Mia sequel, which opens on Friday (July 19th) — revealed on NBC’s Today show, that she’s got an ABBA covers album in the can, saying, “After I did ‘Fernando’ (in the film), I thought it would be fun to do an album of ABBA songs, so I did! It’s not what you think of when you think Abba, because I did it in a different way.” No word was given regarding a release date.”
