He also worked on XTC's "Black Sea" album, which also featured something pretty close (but not quite there) to that gated drum sound. Great stuff and worthy of checking out. Cheers!

      Cymbal-less drumming goes back a few years, i.e. You Can’t Hurry Love by The Supremes, A Good Thing by Fontella Bass or Maybelline by Chuck Berry. I know Collins did a cover of the Supremes song which is probably where he got the inspiration.

      Yeah, this is basically a Phil Collins song with Frida singing lead. Great song, but I've always hated the muddy-sounding guitar solo--not sure what they were thinking with that one. Jay & Amber should also listen to Agnetha Faltskog's biggest solo record, "Can't Shake Loose", or maybe the more fun "The Heat Is On".

    It's not often that you can just hear the beat and percussion of a song, and be able to identify the artist who is behind the production(when they are behind the scenes). But this is easily one of the songs where it is. For anyone who was familiar with Phil Collins in those days(either in Genesis, or as a solo artist), you can't help but get the Phil Collins vibes when you hear the drums, and the entire production of the song...and sure enough, Phil was on the drums, and was a producer of the track. 2 unlikely legends coming together!!!

      Mine too - I love Agnetha, but Frida always had a pure and more "classical" edge to her sound.

She could have sung opera, but ABBA made its four member rich beyond their wildest dreams.

    Her voice is super sharp and right to the point, without any trace of sentimentality, it's just REAL and RAW, I really love it. If you listen to the title track of ABBA's last album, The Visitors (a gloomy experiemental and futuristic masterpiece, unfortunately, it doesn't have any video), you get the same feeling. It was created a year before Something's Going On, which is from 1982, where ABBA were slowly dissolving due to the members' divorces, them having different creative ambitions etc.

  • @chelseacharger
    @chelseacharger 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    ABBA was still together when this and the 'Something's Going On' album was recorded. They did record a handful of cool numbers but they were fast heading for a split (although they never formerly announced one.) Mo Foster is on that driving bass and he sadly passed away recently (RIP). This song spent so long on the Billboard Hot 100 chart that it actually outsold two or three #1's in 1983.

    Frida's first solo album was produced by Phil Collins (yes, him) who also played drums in 1982... Abba had just released their last album 'The Visitors' in 1981 and the group was slowly fading from view - their last single was released in 1983... Abba's insiders recalled that their records were not selling as much by 1982 and the guys (Benny and Bjorn) had both remarried and moved on... So, the incentive to keep Abba going just dissipated gradually... Agnetha and Frida began work on solo records, and they were growing less involved w/ their ex-husbands in the studio. Ultimately, Abba was over by '83... Bjorn and Benny stayed friends and worked behind the scenes together often on other musical projects.
    Frida (Anni-Frid) had a career in Sweden before she met Benny and joined Abba... Once Abba was seen as a "70's pop relic" in the 80's, Frida's solo career stalled after 2 albums and she practically gave up singing and retreated from the spotlight for decades.
    Agnetha also attempted to move on as a solo artist... but after a mishap on tour, she gave up singing and withdrew to the countryside of Sweden, where she stayed out of the limelight for decades as well.
    Years later, Benny and Bjorn revealed that communication w/ their ex-wives was non-existent for years, but by the 90's, they had started to correspond casually and the guys respected the privacy of their former spouses and remained supportive over years. Only recently did Abba finally decide to record a farewell album 'Voyage'... as a 'farewell' to their fans for decades of support.

      Nice summary. I just feel like adding that Frida released a third solo album after ABBA, Dupa Andetag, which is entirely in Swedish and my favorite of the solo albums. She has a duet with Maria Frederiksson (of Roxette) that is great. But every time I listen to it I am reminded that something extra special happens when she sings with Agnetha.

    To be 100% accurate, Frida already had a carrier as a solo artist before Abba

    Ahh, this reminds me of the early days of MTV. I've always loved Frida's voice. It has a mechanical quality to it that's almost unreal for a human voice. BTW, Phil Collins was the drummer for this song.

    A while back on another ABBA review by them I mentioned that they should do this song and also that there's a youtube video of Frida and Phil in the studio during a break in the recording of this song with a very special guest visiting...a Beatle!

    This came out in 1982 during the early days of MTV and they played the heck out of it. I was in high school then and really loved it.

    Frida's son was playing In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins, which she hadn't heard before and decided that was the sound she wanted and you can hear on this sing the similarities with the other. No wonder as Collins produced her album and played drums with this very recognisable style.

    This song was HUGE when it came out in September 1982. It was played often on rock radio stations, and it was a shock when people found out that this was Frida from Abba because it was such a heavy sound. You knew immediately that it was Phil Collins on drums, the style was unmistakable.
    You can listen to the full “Something’s Going On” album on TH-cam. Frida also put out another great album in 1984 called “Shine” and you can listen to that album on TH-cam as well.

    This is from Frida's first English-language solo album "Something's Going On" (1982), recorded during a very difficult time in her life. She had just recently divorced from Benny, who had fallen in love with another woman. After this she felt the need to branch out on her own musically as well. She also changed her hairstyle and appearance. 1982 was the year when the four ABBA members started to drift apart and ventured out on their own solo projects. At the time Frida was inspired by the sound of Pat Benatar and she loved Phil Collins' album "Face Value" who was also willing to produce her album.
    "I Know There's Something Going On" turned out to be a worldwide hit and the album did very well too. Frida released only one more album in English, "Shine" (1984) but when that was far less successful than its predecessor she abandoned her international solo career. In 1996 she returned with one more solo album, the excellent "Djupa Andetag" which she recorded in Swedish and thus was only aimed at the Scandinavian market.

    ABBA split up, then the girls both went solo. Agnetha had a duet with Peter Cetera in 1988. She also has a beautiful Song "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind". And just so you know, Agnetha released a new song yesterday: "Where Do We Go From Here".

      Well, to be technical, they didn't break up, they went on to work on other projects and just didn't get around to coming together to record something...until recently. 🙂

      The girls had solo careers before, during and after ABBA. ABBA were still an active group when this was released. The same with their albums during the 70s.

    Amber, tell Jay that the reason Anni Frid went solo is because Abba broke up in 1982. That was the year of their last performance and were considered done after that!. So, Frida went solo the next year in 1983 and released "I Know There's Something Going On". Abba didn't reunite until 2016.

    You know Benny got another girl pregnant and divorced Frida. ABBA was still releasing and promoting together when this was out. In interviews and TV performances It's pretty clear none are very happy. Frida cut her hair and cut a completely different sounding album. If you want to hear something from her after calming down "Frida (ABBA) - Sista Valsen Med Dig (1996)" ---> th-cam.com/video/olHZgJtvIIw/w-d-xo.html It is in Swedish but I doubt ABBA fans will mind. It's a very nice and very sweet breakup song. If you want just translate or get it off internet first.

    Frida was solo before ABBA and then, after ABBA broke up when everybody divorced each other, Frida went solo again and made this song. This is the only song that I know from her from this era. And not to mention, Phil Collins on the drums is amazing and the bass playing is just as good as it was with ABBA.

    Written by Russ Ballard of Argent.
    He wrote "Since You've Been Gone" a hit for Head East and Rainbow., also "New York Groove" for Kiss's Ace Frehley!!
    He had a minor solo career, with his "On The Rebound" reaching #70 on the US charts.

    Jay and Amber, I thank you for playing this tune by Frida. Love the song. Not only did Phil Collins provide the stellar drum beats, but he also produced the record. You should also check out "Easy Lover" by Phillip Bailey (you'll know his voice from Earth, Wind & Fire); this song is also produced by Phil Collins and features him on vocals.
