Abba’s famous blonde Agnetha Faltskog takes a chance on pop comeback

ONE of pop’s greatest voices has emerged from her self-imposed exile to the delight of millions of fans worldwide.By: Elisa RochAbba's Agnetha Faltskog is making a comeback

In what is potentially one of the greatest musical returns of all time, Abba’s golden girl Agnetha Faltskog has teamed up with Take That’s Gary Barlow for a duet.
Agnetha, now 62, also collaborated with Britney Spears’s Swedish songwriting team for her first album in nine years.
Agnetha’s single When You Really Loved Someone is out now. Her album, A, follows later this year and the star hopes the album will lay to rest the image the public has of her.
She said: “I’m very earth-grounded and very normal, I just like to stay at home.
“I have been described as a very mysterious human being and that hurts a little bit, because it’s not like that at all,” she adds.
The new musical project began two years ago, when Swedish producer Jorgen Elofsson rang her doorbell hoping to play Agnetha three songs he had written for her.
The hit composer, who penned Britney Spears’s Crazy and Kelly Clarkson’s Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), said his dream was to coax Agnetha back into the studio.
She said: “It was flattering. It really was. I just couldn’t say no. I really loved the songs from the beginning.”

But before Agnetha would enter the studio she had some conditions.
“I told him, ‘we have to talk about a lot of things first,’” she recalled. “It was nine or 10 years since I’d sung, so I didn’t know if [my voice] worked.”
“I said from the very beginning, ‘if it sounds old I don’t want to do this, because...why should I?’”
The star is aware that her past relationship with a Dutch fan who was 16 years her junior has not helped with her reputation.
The man, who turned dangerous when she broke off the affair, only added to the perception that she was a lonely and unhappy person, none of which is true, she insists.
But the singer said she cannot go into details of what happened “for legal reasons”.
Since Abba split in 1982, she has been the band’s most elusive member. She largely shuns the limelight, living quietly on the secluded island of Ekero, west of Stockholm.
Agnetha says she had totally fallen out of the practice of singing and songwriting since her Abba days. Her duet with Barlow is called I Should Have Followed You Home. Sadly, the pair recorded the song in different countries and recording studios and have not yet met.
Agnetha has described the single as “very mature and worthy”.
She says she’s looking forward to coming back to the UK and speaks fondly of Abba’s seven-day residency in London’s Wembley Arena in 1979.
“People’s reaction was fantastic on Dancing Queen,” she said. “And, otherwise, it was very nice with Thank You For The Music.”
She enjoys the memories of Abba and has donated costumes and memorabilia to the Abba Museum which will open in Sweden in May, saying, “It is very strange to have a museum in your honour”, but cannot see the band reforming.
She added: “It was such a long time ago and we are getting older and we have our different lives.”

But for now, she is concentrating on the new record – one she thought she might never make, and one which could be her last. “I think to look in the future, to plan another one, it’s not realistic right now. But I don’t close any doors. I’m very open for what comes up.
“At the moment, we are so happy with this one. I really hope people will like it as much as we do.”
As for the other members of Abba, Anni-Frid Lyngstad is now 67 and lives in Switzerland as the Countess of Plauen following her marriage to Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss of Plauen.
She makes public appearances occasionally but is mostly involved in charity work, sometimes with her friend, the Queen of Sweden.
Benny Andersson, 66, is still working with Bjorn Ulveaus, 67, on new projects and is writing lyrics for other artists. He also has his own band called Benny Andersson Orkester and owns the stylish Rival hotel in Stockholm.
Bjorn, meanwhile, has become a media mogul who owns several lucrative stage and music companies. Together with Benny, the pair are said to have made millions by agreeing to collaborate with Hollywood producers on the film musical version of stage show Mamma Mia in 2008.
As a band, Abba have sold more than 380 million albums around the world and they are still one of the most popular bands to download of all time on music sites like Apple’s iTunes and Spotify.
