The 10-rail album, ABBA Voyage, will be released on Nov. five, and the new songs will also exist performed during a virtual concert residency that will open at a custom-congenital loonshit in East London on May 27, 2022.

The ABBAtars were designed by Industrial Light and Magic (the visual effects company founded past George Lucas), and more than 850 people employed move-capture applied science to recreate band members Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad's "every mannerism and every motion" from when they were "in their prime."
"Agnetha, Frida, Benny, and Bjorn got onstage in forepart of 160 cameras and well-nigh as many VFX geniuses, and they performed every song in this bear witness, to perfection, over five weeks," producer Ludvig Andersson explained during a globally streamed press conference that took place Th at the AcerlorMittal Orbit in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Two songs off ABBA Voyage — the group'south first full-length LP since 1981's The Visitors, which came out as the quartet'south ii married couples were getting divorced — premiered during Thursday's press issue. The effervescent "Don't Shut Me Down" is a classic ABBA story-song in the vein of "The Day Before You Came," while the earnest, nostalgic piano ballad "I However Have Faith In You" is an ode to the bond that the iv bandmates still share after all these years. A particularly goosebump-raising moment of that song is when Fältskog and Lyngstad trill in their signature heavenly harmonies, "You asked me not to leave/Well, here I am again/And I love you even so."
Ulvaeus, who along with Andersson attended the London printing briefing in person, said the latter track "is about realizing information technology is inconceivable to be where we are. No imagination can dream up that. To release an album after 40 years and all the same exist the best of friends and enjoying each other'south visitor and still have full loyalty —who has experienced that? Nobody." A preview of ABBAtars can be seen in the new music video for "I Still Accept Faith In You."
At the printing briefing, Ulvaeus and Andersson explained that they hadn't planned to write and tape an entire new ABBA album, only afterwards they began work on the digital concert in 2018, everything gelled. "At beginning it was only two songs, and then we said, 'Well, maybe nosotros should exercise a few others,'" said Andersson.
Fältskog, who did not nourish the conference, added in a statement, "When we got back together in the studio I had no idea what to expect. But Benny'southward recording studio is such a friendly and safe environment, and earlier I knew it I was really enjoying myself!" Lyngstad also stated, "Those kickoff sessions dorsum in 2018 were such fun and when Benny chosen and asked if I'd consider singing some more I jumped at it! And what songs! My respect and dearest go out to these exceptionally talented, truly genius songwriters! Such joy it was to work with the grouping again. I am and so happy with what we accept made, and I dearly promise our fans feel the aforementioned."
"They're such amazing singers, those 2," Ulvaeus said of Fältskog and Lyngstad. "I was completely floored by the way they delivered those songs. They're true musicians, totally unimpressed past pop star glamour but still having a great fourth dimension being creative in a recording studio. The 'Voyage' project has injected new life into us in more means than ane. Then once again, thanks for waiting! Nosotros hope to meet you in the 'ABBA Arena,' and yes — see — because we have infused a proficient deal of our souls into those avatars. It's not an exaggeration to say that we're dorsum."
