Well, in the 1970s, a lot of people despised them, even said they hated them. Either for being too successive and "shallow" (mainly in England), or for not being clearly progressive leftists (mainly in Sweden).
I saw a video of another youtuber that was trying to compare Agnetha's voice from the new album and a song from mid-seventies, to see if the new has pitch corrections or autotune, and while looking at the wave spectrum in the computer, he detected that she lands the voice in it's perfect note and keeps the wave almost static, even if she goes through highs and lows. Agnetha has that gift.
Agnetha sings out of tune a few times on the new album and I am glad they didn’t pitch correct it. Agnetha has never had perfect pitch even in her prime, that is what made her vocal so endearing and heartfelt. Frida did have perfect pitch and sometimes her vocal lost some emotional relatability. It used to be said Agnetha could “cry” with her voice, you can’t do that with perfect pitch, as it still sounds too technically precise. Agnetha’s album A was very heavily outotuned and is my least favourite because of that.
The essence of ABBA, nothing forced just pure talent. No auto tune needed and the new album 40years later the voices are deeper but they still have it. Happy New Year.
These 2 women have stunning voices, ABBA has such talent from all the members, you should listen to I Still Have Faith in You from there newest album, their voices still hold up.
В моей стране, которая теперь Беларусь, а раньше была частью СССР, эта песня- главная композиция на Новый год. Мы не понимали смысла, но для нас- это мелодия щемящего счастья, праздника, в котором очень много надежд на лучшее в будущем году, и желания оставить в прошлом то, что печалило. О том, что здесь все так грустно, теперь я знаю, но отношение к песне не поменялось: она даёт надежду на лучшее, потому что наполнена красотой и гармонией до самых краев. Хрустальный голос Агнеты- голос того ангела, в который в нашей стране никто не верил, но все его ждали и сразу узнали и полюбили на всю жизнь
Since you are wondering do know that ABBA still have it in them.Listen to their new recording "DON'T SHUT ME DOWN".You won't beleive your ears.Neither did we,when we first listened to this first time in 2nd of last Septemper globally via live streaming.A mass of fans around the world couldn't help it and started crying while listening again to this magical, familiar sound.Their unbelievable vocal blending is breathtaking still in their 70's.New album "VOYAGE"gone already a No1 in 19 countries and still a solid seller.
P.S.The official clip is a lyric-video.That's fine since you can also read the beautiful storytelling words to this new little masterpiece almost after 4 decades of hiatus.
Yeah !! They have the same voices, they are angels singing, unmistakable when you listen to them together, it's them!! Angels singing. Beautiful and angelic. And if you listen to them in Spanish... it's sublime, perfection made music.
Hi Dounia, greetings from Germany. Obviously I'm a little late to the party - but hey, at 57 I'm not as fast as I used to be when I was younger (i.e. when this song was released the first time)😉. I'm so glad that younger people like yourself are exploring music from that era, especially ABBA. What those four created with the added talent of their producer, Stig Anderson, is simply exceptional. They "wrote" music that will never get old. The melodic structure and the voices of the women complimented each other in ways you have to look very hard for a match to it in present times. Why did I put "wrote" in quotes? Neither Björn (with whom I share the first name) nor Benny could read or write notes. That makes their music even more impressive, don't you think? And when you listen to their last album from 2020 you'll find that they didn't lose one iota of their talent or skills. And bear in mind that Frida and Agnetha are in their seventies now. They still sound like they did back then. That just shows how incredibly gifted they are. Just like Ann Wilson from Heart. If you listen to "Alone" from the eighties and from the gig Heart did a couple of years ago you'll find that time can't do anything to you if you are a gifted and talented singer... Anyway, I'm looking forward to exploring your channel as a new subscriber...😁💛💛
ABBA is something more than a band for my generation. We loved, seperated, strugled and healed ourselves with tham. Newer pity for band braking. They will exist until we are. :)
Agnetha [The blonde} Is known to have ,] Pitch perfect ,,Perfect pitch along with an astounding range of B2 - F7 ,the largest range in 40 years of POP music .
*"They were born to make music..."* The most wonderful reaction I've seen on youtube! Aren't you born to talk abt music? Analyze too - absolutely! Gorgeous friend, you've got a new subscriber! Wow. (Greeting from Sweden)
They were way ahead in music recording at that time, they superimposed the voices to make it sound like many people singing, I think they were one of the first ones to do that, if not the first.

The first time I heard this song was when they were on The Late Late show ( Ireland) for the New year show it was when they were announcing the breakup. Beautiful song and performance. Remains one of my favourite songs.
I suspect that because Winner Takes its All and Super Trouper were such great successes, there was no need and no time to promote Happy New Year. Ironic that there was an expiry date in 1980, but it went on to become a perennial favourite (quite literally)
Thank you for listening to this beautiful and inspiring song I will often listen to this on a loop on my Amazon alexa When the girls sing together its magical
Great reaction, thanks for sharing. And yes, ABBA are still amazing at their 70’s. I would love to see your reaction to their new songs, particularly I Still Have Faith In You, Don’t Shut Me Down, I Can Be That Woman, and Keep An Eye On Dan 😍👍🏼. But also songs from their former albums, such as The Visitors or I Let The Music Speak… Cheers from Spain.
It is such a great song! It's funny, as the lyrics are very poignant, yet coupled with the most joyous melody. Loved watching you join in on the chorus:)
It wasn't even recorded in the 80s: it was the end of the 70s! If you want to hear an ABBA song that's sung incredibly well by Anni-Frid, listen to Oor Last Summer. It's hauntingly beautiful!
So nice to see you for first time I really enjoy with your reaction It's so true all you said about ABBA and each one as fantastic songwriters and singers This is an ABBA classic for all December/January dates A beautiful song with a soft melody at the beginning, a melancholic lyrics with the beautiful and very sweet interpretation of the blonde Agnetha, a brilliant chorus with Frida (especially the power of her second voice in the second and third stanza) and a catchy chorus with the melody that grows and falls in love All ingredients of ABBA The lyrics are so emotional, contrast with an very catchy chorus It's no funny, it's melancolich, but have a message of hope "Happy New Year" is a great song from the 1980 album "Super Trouper" (which includes the homonymous song and "The winner takes it all" among others) It has a version in Spanish: "Felicidad" which was a hit here in my country in November 2021, ABBA include a Christmas song tittle "Little things" in their new album "Voyage" (In Their historic come back after almost 40 years), that also was released as a single in the lastest weeks with a special video: th-cam.com/video/f0qO04Y9Pwk/w-d-xo.html ABBA donated your royalties to UNICEF, as They did before in 1979 with "Chiquitita" You will enjoy with the New songs, the voices of Agnetha and Frida still are beautiful, and married together are amazing again as the unforgettable 'third voice' of ABBA Best wishes to you with good music My best regards from Argentina
Not going to lie, ABBA wrote some of their most beautiful music whilst they were in the process of breaking up. This song, SOS & The Winner Takes it All.....to name just a few.
P.S.: at the time that "Happy New Year" was recorded, Agnetha & Björn was separated a year ago (since the end of 1978); Benny & Frida separated later, in the begining of 1981... and ABBA still continue as a group until the end of 1982 Björn and Benny still are married with your new wifes since 1981, and have new childrens (and grand childrens) with them but all ABBA fans have seen a lot of new clips and pictures with all The Fab Four from Sweden looks so happy together again Now as a group
You'd expect that it would be Agnetha handling the belting and higher nothes that Frida sings considering that her being a Mezzo-Soprano and Agnetha being a Soprano, some would consider Agnetha better "equipped" vocally to handle that...
Frida took the higher range in parts of songs more often than people realise - Fernando (so nice to hear Agnetha taking lower harmony on that one, she has such a lovely lower tonal quality) parts of I’ve been waiting for you, On and On and On and she did the operatic background vocal in The Day Before You Came.
It is important to understand the context in which this song was written. In time of the Cold War. The United States and the then Soviet Union competed to see who had more and better atomic weapons. There was a sense of fear and discouragement about the future. Remember that in places like Switzerland, people built their own nuclear shelters. That is why the song says that we do not know what will await us at the end of 1989. They are singing it in 1981.
I certainly don't mean to be awful but to me Agnetha has the best voice ever with ABBA. Just singing on her own would be sensational. In this particular song she is the lead singer & I'm not surprised! I have heard of a few songs from Frida & really beautiful & not saying she is a bad singer, no way. I love the 2 of them singing together too. 💝💝💝💝
I would love to here your thoughts of them performing live in the Dick Cavett show 1981 performing Knowing me Knowing you and Slipping through my fingers. If you want to, another really good one would be from their Wembley show in 1979 performing Chiquitita. Pure magic.
It's so beautiful and bittersweet. Funny how we have the name Дуня in Russia which sounds like your name. Any Russian roots? No? And all our Дуня's are as pretty as you are. (-:
No insult meant but the "song doesn't have an expiry date"? The lyrics literally say "what lies waiting down the line, in the end of '89" (1989). Yes its a great song.

A Happy New Year for certain. One funny thing. In the video when you see the camera looks like it is going around them, the camera is fixed and they are being rotated on a turntable, standing in a bucket type thing, holding hands to not loose balance.
Actually, at least in European music, the pattern of n times verse+chorus is the norm and having a bridge + chorus at the end is a rather rare pattern.
Why would they sound American though? You know English comes from England. Other native English speakers are Candians, Irish, Australian etc. Why would they sound Amercian? IF they would have tried to sound authentic- back in those days- they'd probably try to sound more British. (Or "English"- like people from England.)

ABBA JUST HAS "GOD" GIVEN TALENT ! WHO DOESN'T LOVE THEM ! 🥰
Well, in the 1970s, a lot of people despised them, even said they hated them. Either for being too successive and "shallow" (mainly in England), or for not being clearly progressive leftists (mainly in Sweden).

I saw a video of another youtuber that was trying to compare Agnetha's voice from the new album and a song from mid-seventies, to see if the new has pitch corrections or autotune, and while looking at the wave spectrum in the computer, he detected that she lands the voice in it's perfect note and keeps the wave almost static, even if she goes through highs and lows. Agnetha has that gift.
Agnetha sings out of tune a few times on the new album and I am glad they didn’t pitch correct it. Agnetha has never had perfect pitch even in her prime, that is what made her vocal so endearing and heartfelt. Frida did have perfect pitch and sometimes her vocal lost some emotional relatability. It used to be said Agnetha could “cry” with her voice, you can’t do that with perfect pitch, as it still sounds too technically precise. Agnetha’s album A was very heavily outotuned and is my least favourite because of that.

If anything, their voices have improved, like a vintage wine.
I still can't quite believe we had a new album after 40 years - I have to pinch myself!
you are absolutly wonderful,i think im in love with you, do more abba
Listen to the winner takes it all from ABBA it will blow your mind ... and then there is so much more. Best band ever
I know many of their songs 😍😍😍
Vielen Dank - ABBA sind einfach die Besten 👍👍👍👍
The intense harmony and the little yodels are classic ABBA signature items.

It's so true all you said about ABBA and each one as fantastic songwriters and singers
This is an ABBA classic for all December/January dates
A beautiful song with a soft melody at the beginning, a melancholic lyrics with the beautiful and very sweet interpretation of the blonde Agnetha, a brilliant chorus with Frida (especially the power of her second voice in the second and third stanza) and a catchy chorus with the melody that grows and falls in love All ingredients of ABBA
The lyrics are so emotional, contrast with an very catchy chorus
It's no funny, it's melancolich, but have a message of hope
"Happy New Year" is a great song from the 1980 album "Super Trouper" (which includes the homonymous song and "The winner takes it all" among others)
It has a version in Spanish: "Felicidad" which was a hit here in my country
in November 2021, ABBA include a Christmas song tittle "Little things" in their new album "Voyage" (In Their historic come back after almost 40 years), that also was released as a single in the lastest weeks with a special video:

Happy New Year is from ABBAs 7th Studio Album 1980 Super Trooper Agnetha Faltskog on lead. The voice of an angel.
They still have it. Of their new songs, I love “Bumblebee” and “Ode to Freedom”

If Mozart made pop songs he couldn't have improved on this lot

A Happy New Year for certain.
One funny thing. In the video when you see the camera looks like it is going around them, the camera is fixed and they are being rotated on a turntable, standing in a bucket type thing, holding hands to not loose balance.
Isn't it that vocal coaches are taught by singing performers without coaches?
Have you heard THEM come back after almost 40 years in 2021- new album?
Haha! You got a point there!
I still didn’t hear them!! I’m willing to soon!!
