Really moving, don't you think? A new ABBA song after almost 40 years... AMAZING ❤! The last part introduces us to the ABBATARS, used in the Voyage show, which has been performing for a couple of years now at the ABBA Arena, specially built in Queen's Park in London. Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Frida choreographed all the songs with the motion capture system, to bring to life the ABBATARS who represent them in a 1979 version of themselves. There are videos of the process, explained by Benny and Björn in person.... Maybe you can review them sometime. It's amazing. Take care, Philip... See you soon Love ❤️ from Chile 🇨🇱🤗👍
A wonderful comeback: Hearing Frida again for the first time in so many years, felt like a miracle, and when Agnetha comes in, and they harmonize, ABBA was back!
Hello again dear friend I am very happy that you have finally reached this historic moment, after this memorable ABBA Journey that we are sharing on your channel. The great world news of this 21st century for the world of music is the return of the mythical Swedish quartet ABBA to the recording studios in 2017 after more than 35 years (the last song recorded was "The day before you came" in 1982 ) and the release of their new songs after 39 years (the last single released was "Under attack" in 1982) and a new full-length studio album after 40 years (the last one was "The Visitor" in 1981) Beyond the fact that these three data are for the Guinness Book of Records (I believe that no group, singer or artist can come close to these incredible and surprising brands), the most remarkable thing is How they came back, with what level of quality. . And I must say that ABBA exceeded all fears, doubts and expectations. Their return is impressive and his quality is still valid, incredible! We know the great spirit of perfection that Björn & Benny imprint on their creations, and their first two releases are up there with their greatest hits from the 80s. But the biggest unknown was knowing the state of the voices of Agnetha & Frida and how they could react to the inevitable passing of the decades and their possible comparisons with previous classics. And I must say that both look great. And in this there is an extraordinary mime work by Björn & Benny to "pamper" their historic singers, and ex-partners. They were entrusted with two wonderful songs, with beautiful melodies and deep lyrics, but were also surrounded by the iconic hooks and the call for emotional nostalgia. "I still have faith in you" is an unprecedented song in its conception in the history of ABBA because it is self-referential about them as a quartet; and it is also testimonial, because they tell us about their experiences in all this time Musically I see it as a mystical and epic ballad. A majestic piano and Frida's soft voice drive and recreate the ABBA story with moving beauty, with Agnetha joining in on a few verses to emphasize (and remind us of the famous 'third voice') The sound of the drums (a nod to the megahit "Fernando") is preparing the change of rhythm And with a powerful guitar comes that first unprecedented chorus, because this time all of ABBA sings from the depths of its history and with the strength of its testimony of life, healing and union. And in the second part the second chorus is even stronger, at times they even sing at three levels of voices, it is very clear that ABBA sings with the passion and courage that Björn's excellent lyrics highlight, it is like a triumphant song of thier survival and their bond And it ends with a solo by Frida, impeccable, with the sound of the flutes at the end The official video is also unprecedented in the history of ABBA For the first time, it shows them in the past and in retrospect. The entire first part (in black and white) is from their youth and beginnings, to the images of Eurovision 1974. Then comes (in color) the memorable tour to Australia 1977, with images of the incredible 'ABBAmania', taken in the movie "ABBA The Movie", and for the change of pace and the first chorus comes a succession of all the official videos. of ABBA up to and including 1979 Then comes the new melodic bridge and the initial image is resumed: ABBA prepared to go out to their last concerts in London in 1979, and that second chorus is interpreted by them as their 'ABBAtars' And here is a symbology: That scene is like the transition: ABBA are no longer the ones we remember, now we will see them in their ABBAtars recreating their image from the late 70s And this is how the Voyage Concerts that opened at the new ABBA Arena in London since May of 2022, and that they are a colossal success, with sales entries until May of next year, with projects to expand to other places like Australia or Singapur etc This official video was released globally in a Live Stream that showed ABBA fan meetings simultaneously in various cities around the world: Stockholm, London, Vienna, Berlin, Rejkiavik, New York, São Paulo, etc. BBC London interrupted its regular programming to join the launch of this video at exactly 5:00 p.m. on September 2 (2021) and for the second song "Don't shut me down" the lights came on with the new images of ABBA Voyage on the main bridge of Sydney at night in Australia while the pictures showed many mature ABBA fans crying with emotion upon hearing new ABBA songs again after almost 40 years (as I cried from a distance following the live broadcast on TH-cam). Thank you for your great reaction, with respect and admiration for all the music and history of ABBA, See you in the next new song I hope that you react now to "Don't shut me down" a fantastic masterpiece of the new milenium My best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina South America
I still get chills hearing and watching this. Your face when the ABBAtars showed, for the Voyage Concert of course. Great reaction, Bjorn wrote the lyrics. Please do the 2nd song from this release Dont Shut Me Down. Keep An Eye On Dan is amazing too, great backing vocals from Benny and Bjorn on that one.
Masters of their trade ❤
I Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best Band Ever
Definitely check out Keep An Eye On Dan.
Thank you!!!!❤
Abba for life
Really moving, don't you think?

One must consider that Frida was 72 years old, when this was recorded. (And ABBA = Never Autotune)
wow..she sounded good for her age
@@PhiliminizzyReacts Agnetha was "only" 68 - when they recorded Don't Shut Me Down. Sounds even better!
@@-NiErIt's good, definitely, but not as good as ISHFIY imo.
A wonderful comeback: Hearing Frida again for the first time in so many years, felt like a miracle, and when Agnetha comes in, and they harmonize, ABBA was back!
What a heartfelt and beautiful reaction and review ❤
Hello again dear friend
I am very happy that you have finally reached this historic moment,
after this memorable ABBA Journey that we are sharing on your channel.
The great world news of this 21st century for the world of music
is the return of the mythical Swedish quartet ABBA to the recording studios in 2017
after more than 35 years (the last song recorded was "The day before you came" in 1982 )
and the release of their new songs after 39 years (the last single released was "Under attack" in 1982)
and a new full-length studio album after 40 years (the last one was "The Visitor" in 1981)
Beyond the fact that these three data are for the Guinness Book of Records
(I believe that no group, singer or artist can come close to these incredible and surprising brands),
the most remarkable thing is How they came back, with what level of quality. .
And I must say that ABBA exceeded all fears, doubts and expectations.
Their return is impressive and his quality is still valid, incredible!
We know the great spirit of perfection that Björn & Benny imprint on their creations,
and their first two releases are up there with their greatest hits from the 80s.
But the biggest unknown was knowing the state of the voices of Agnetha & Frida
and how they could react to the inevitable passing of the decades
and their possible comparisons with previous classics. And I must say that both look great.
And in this there is an extraordinary mime work by Björn & Benny
to "pamper" their historic singers, and ex-partners.
They were entrusted with two wonderful songs, with beautiful melodies and deep lyrics,
but were also surrounded by the iconic hooks and the call for emotional nostalgia.
"I still have faith in you"
is an unprecedented song in its conception in the history of ABBA
because it is self-referential about them as a quartet;
and it is also testimonial, because they tell us about their experiences in all this time
Musically I see it as a mystical and epic ballad.
A majestic piano and Frida's soft voice drive
and recreate the ABBA story with moving beauty,
with Agnetha joining in on a few verses to emphasize
(and remind us of the famous 'third voice')
The sound of the drums (a nod to the megahit "Fernando")
is preparing the change of rhythm
And with a powerful guitar comes that first unprecedented chorus,
because this time all of ABBA sings from the depths of its history
and with the strength of its testimony of life, healing and union.
And in the second part the second chorus is even stronger,
at times they even sing at three levels of voices,
it is very clear that ABBA sings with the passion and courage
that Björn's excellent lyrics highlight,
it is like a triumphant song of thier survival and their bond
And it ends with a solo by Frida, impeccable,
with the sound of the flutes at the end
The official video is also unprecedented in the history of ABBA
For the first time, it shows them in the past and in retrospect.
The entire first part (in black and white) is from their youth and beginnings,
to the images of Eurovision 1974.
Then comes (in color) the memorable tour to Australia 1977,
with images of the incredible 'ABBAmania', taken in the movie "ABBA The Movie",
and for the change of pace and the first chorus comes a succession
of all the official videos. of ABBA up to and including 1979
Then comes the new melodic bridge and the initial image is resumed:
ABBA prepared to go out to their last concerts in London in 1979,
and that second chorus is interpreted by them as their 'ABBAtars'
And here is a symbology:
That scene is like the transition:
ABBA are no longer the ones we remember,
now we will see them in their ABBAtars recreating their image from the late 70s
And this is how the Voyage Concerts that opened
at the new ABBA Arena in London since May of 2022,
and that they are a colossal success, with sales entries until May of next year,
with projects to expand to other places like Australia or Singapur etc
This official video was released globally in a Live Stream
that showed ABBA fan meetings simultaneously in various cities around the world:
Stockholm, London, Vienna, Berlin, Rejkiavik, New York, São Paulo, etc.
BBC London interrupted its regular programming
to join the launch of this video at exactly 5:00 p.m. on September 2 (2021)
and for the second song
"Don't shut me down"
the lights came on with the new images of ABBA Voyage
on the main bridge of Sydney at night in Australia
while the pictures showed many mature ABBA fans crying with emotion
upon hearing new ABBA songs again after almost 40 years
(as I cried from a distance following the live broadcast on TH-cam).
Thank you for your great reaction,
with respect and admiration for all the music and history of ABBA,
See you in the next new song
I hope that you react now to "Don't shut me down"
a fantastic masterpiece of the new milenium
My best regards from
Buenos Aires, Argentina
