Journalist Geoff Lloyd recently made an appearance on the Reasons To Be Cheerful podcast and exclusively revealed that ABBA would release five new songs in 2021. This will be the group’s first original music since their breakup in 1982.

According to Lloyd, he had a video call chat with ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus, who revealed that the iconic four-piece intends to proceed with the reunion plans next year.

“They’ve recorded five new songs,” said Lloyd. “They should have been out at the end of last year… Because of technical difficulties and the pandemic, it’s delayed things. But he promised me that the new Abba music will be out in 2021.”

ABBA was originally supposed to release two new tracks, “I Still Have Faith in You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down,” in 2019 as the group was working on a hologram tour. However, the tracks never made it out due to technical problems, while the tour was postponed because of coronavirus pandemic.

Some reports indicated that the new songs won’t be singles, but a part of the group’s new album. ABBA released their last record, titled The Visitors, in 1981.

This comes after Cher played a role in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, a sequel to 2008 musical Mamma Mia! Both movies use and are partially based on the music of ABBA.
The album, which borrows the name of one of ABBA’s greatest hits, will see Cher covering “Waterloo,” “Fernando,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “SOS,” and several other songs from the Swedish pop sensation.

“I’ve always liked ABBA and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times,” said the 72-year-old star. “After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?'” she continued. “The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”

Dancing Queen is available for pre-order as of August 9th, and all the fans who decide to get it this way will receive Cher’s version of “Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).”
