ABBA's Two New Songs Are Here, and the World Is Ready to Listen-And Dance Along

In 1981, Swedish pop sensation and Eurovision winner ABBA issued their last studio album. That is, until now.

Today, Agnetha, Benny, Bj rn, and Anni-Frid unveiled new music for the first time in four decades: a double A-side single with two brand-new songs, I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down.

But that's not the only surprise from ABBA. Today, the band shared that they'd be making virtual avatars of themselves for a live concert experience in London known as ABBA Voyage-as well as releasing a new album, Voyage on November 5.

ABBA Voyage, the long-awaited concert, will feature ABBA's avatars accompanied by a 10-piece live band in a custom-built arena at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London. These avatars were created based on the live recordings by the band members in present day and then digitally edited to create an appearance of the band onstage the way they were 40 years ago. It gives long-term fans a chance to see their favorite band the way they remember and new fans a chance to glimpse the group in their prime. The concert will feature 22 songs, including some of the band's greatest hits and their two new songs out today, and last 1.5 hours.

Now though, fans can take a chance early and head to the This Is ABBA playlist on Spotify, which has been updated with the two new songs as well as 11 Spotify Clips-exclusive video clips in which Bj rn Ulvaeus of ABBA tells the story of the band's reunion, reflects on friendship, and provides insights into what's to come.

For a sneak peek, watch below as Bj rn shares some insight about the concert, as well as the craziest idea the band has ever had.
