ABBA Voyage (LP, 180g Vinyl, Poster, Postcard)

It is perhaps the greatest comeback in music history: the legendary Swedish pop band Abba is back. With Voyage, the iconic quartet consisting of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid will release a new album in 2021. It is their ninth long player, their first studio album since The Visitors, which dates back 40 years, and their break-up in 1982.

The album was announced in a YouTube livestream in September 2021. Back in June 2016, Abba reunited to sing The Way Old Friends Do at a private party in Stockholm, and two years later, in April 2018, they announced that they had recorded two new songs: I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down, the lead singles from Voyage, with which the band already gave a taste of the new album. A third single, Just A Notion, was released in October.

The ten new songs were recorded at Benny Andersson's studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm. All songs were written by Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

Voyage is available as a CD in a soft case, as a CD in a jewel case, as a limited CD box with artcards and stickers, as a limited LP on black vinyl and as a limited MC.

To coincide with the new album, Abba have announced a unique live show: On 27 May 2022, the Abba Voyage Show will start in London, a digital performance that has never been seen before in this form. In a purpose-built arena at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Abba's avatars will sing and dance on stage, accompanied by a 10-piece live band. In reality, the real four Abba members are all over 70 by now, but their abba avatars have been created after their 1979 likenesses.

Abba are one of the most successful bands of all time. The Swedish quartet formed in 1972 and released eight studio albums before breaking up in 1982. Four of the last five albums also reached the top of the album charts in Germany. The superstars are known for their numerous world hits such as Dancing Queen, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), Money, Money, Money, Take A Chance On Me, Mamma Mia! and many more. Since 2010, they also have their well-deserved place in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
