Remember they are 70+ years now...and still is magic.. New record in november.. This. Made me tear up.. This music is my whole childhood in new clothes...
I hope the song "Just a Notion" on a VOYAGE album is NOT a new version of the bootleg (with the same title) available in internet for many years.
@@Mario-xr3jo Didn't know the tracklist is already out. After a short research I can confirm that "Just a Notion" and also "Bumblebee" are both the unreleased tracks from 1978. Here's "Free as a Bumblebee" from ABBA Undeleted: czcams.com/video/NUfAzxBKvLA/video.html
Hmm, I'm a bit disappointed now.

So am I, Abros...
As I always strive to know some more, I surfed the internet to find out about the tracklist and that's how I know about the tracklist. And thank you for the link.
Also I have read in the Independent that Bjorn said "We never said 'We'll never reunite again' "...
It's amazing they're back, but Bjorn must have forgotten what they said over all those years ("Reunion is out of question", "No money will make us reunite", etc.).
Of course, they haven't reunited to perform together, but reunited to record a new album and to make this Abba-tar show which is going to tour around the globe.
P.S. I placed my reply here as the one under the video was deleted over and over again...
Listen to the song...is telling their story and why they are coming back...BTW they look young, 1979 they way they looked because the end is the abbatars..
Indeed. My childhood too. And for me it will always be, 'Thankyou for the music.....' I play an abba song, and my soul sings. Their is something intrinsically pure about Abba. For all their frailties, insecurities, they never turned to destructive and narcissistic behaviour. They have remained incredibly down to earth and humble.
My mom had no idea they were back ( not hooked into the music scene anymore. at 77)
I played both songs in the car. Omg she was chair dancing!!! It made her freaking day!!
The nostalgia wraps you like a warm blanket. Opening your mind to memories of good times, laughter, smiles, dancing drinks in hand. A time of love that overshadowed any bad going on while you listened.
Thank you ABBA. Welcome back you have been dearly missed.
"they look so young" - forever young as a matter of fact because they have been immortalized by the avatars. I love ABBA and I love technology so this is the best gift they could give us fans. I am crying, what a love letter to the fans. Bravo!
They came back to remind us that they were and still are the greatest, a fantastic song to come back with pure ABBA gold
This song is absolutely awesome!! One of the best ABBA has ever done. What a return! I've been there from the very first moment and now this is coming. I'm completely taken with joy!! THANK YOU ABBA!!! Greetings from Sweden!!
"and they look so young still" yes, being digital will do that. Frida's avitar singing a new ABBA song made me cry.
I think it was Benny who called them "ABBA-tars"
@@cuffzter
Yes, so do I. This term "ABBA-tar" should be included in new edition of English dictionaries... :). Only true ABBA fans know what that means.
@@Mario-xr3jo true
George Lucas creator of avatars. I believe he was involved...
@@elsakekahuna8023 Not him directly but ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) who I think did the specia effects for Star Wars and other films since.
Yep, I bawled my 51 year old eyes out! A grown man! I don't think any music fan, accept Abba Fans, can understand just how 'momentous' and 'iconic' this is ...
I can only imagine! I know I was pumped up when MJ announced his tour
Yes it is emotional. I'm still alive because of their music.
Immediately I felt transported back to the seventies when pop music and disco was sensational. Love it!
I have seen some big stuff in the music industry but this is way up there with the best comebacks announced! Stunning!
This song is really, really magnificent. I grew up with their music, and to be able to hear them again with a new song like this one. It's like a really emotional homecoming for me.
They have digital "ABBA-tars" Frida is 75, Agneta 71, Björn 76 and Benny 74 now.
next year, they will be 300 ! :-)
ABBA will dominate the music-industry in 2021 / 2022 - their Voyage album will be #1 worldwide for a long time I guess.
ikr
Boy, I hope so!
@@Terrahoskins i do, i do, i do :-)
This is soul. Nordic, swedish soul.
Indeed!🇸🇪
I literally crying…their music brings me many beautiful memories of my childhood 🥺 love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️
For long time ABBA fans, like me, many many tears of pure joy have been flowing the past two days. This reminds me of the first time I watched the video of "The Way Old Friends Do" by ABBA , it still makes me tear up and would be a great follow up reaction to "I Still Have Faith in You".
They still have the magic. I loved this group since the 70's. So good sounding for their age....
not only for their age !
I cried happy tears. ❤️💯🇸🇪
Hope....I felt the same way. It is like welcoming back a long lost friend that you thought had died years ago. And they STILL sound amazing. Get ready for the Voyage!!
Australia effectively launched ABBA after Eurovision and it was onwards and upwards from there. As an Aussie and still with all of their albums on vinyl, I couldn't see the video through the tears. As boomers we only live once and what a great time to still be here.
@Mike, with all due respect, they made your beautiful Sydney bridge look even more beautiful some days ago! They're great still.
Hi yes Australia did launch them to Success So why wasnt the Abba Voyage Tour In Australia why was England there First Choice i dont Understand this as an Aussie i grew up Listening to Abba & Collecting there Rare Items, this is Really Dissapointing they have let Australia Down which for Australia they wouldnt of been that Famous
jos nova
Think they chose the UK because of proximity...convenience...and as much as I feel like you that Australia launched their career...think of our eternal lockdown the last 2 yrs..probably would have impeded their comeback...love them ...
@@b.j.s674 Yes agreed. Obviously the world has completely changed since the 70's and in those days apart from UK's 'Top of the Pops' and Australia's 'Countdown'. there was no other way of instant communication, therefore in Australia we had no idea of ABBA's popularity in the UK. I always ask people, where was ABBA 'The Movie' made.
@@josnova68 Nobody has been let down. Locating in the UK for their upcoming 'concerts' is by far the best move. History has confirmed Australia's strong support for ABBA in the 1970's which was started by Ian 'Molly' Meldrum.
I don't care why they've come back..... I'm just thrilled that they have.
They came back because of the situation we are all living in. The world has changed completely in the last two years. And we all need a good music therapy. This nusic can heal our hearts. If we want to.
Why did they decide to come back? Maybe because they recalibrated. Healed. And found inspiration to write and sing music together again. Does it matter why they came back? Other than this world having more of their music in these dark and insidious times to heal our wounded souls.
As for you, 'I love abba, but it's not as if I'm a huge fan'...... I guarantee you weren't even born when they were at the peak of their success. But this song sums them up. This band is a once in a life time experience. They are geniuses walking this earth. A ying and yang to each other. And us.
The world is blessed. We are truly blessed to have this music now. At a point where the world needs hope!
The guys were presented with an idea to have a tour using holograms. It appealed to them, so they decided to go ahead with the project, using digital reproductions of themselves from their younger days and decided also to write two new songs for the digital avatars to sing. They presented the idea to the girls, and everyone decided it was a go. The avatar show will be premiere in London in a year or so.
The news dropped as a worldwide announcement Sept. 2 on CZcams. The two songs were premiered, along with some behind the scenes footage of them working on the avatar routines, and recording the two new songs. It was also announced there would be a new album consisting of 10 new songs.
The last part of this video is the avatars, not them in real life. While recording the two new songs, they liked the feeling of working together again in the studio and decided to do a whole new album, which will drop in November. The avatar show is next year, May 2022, after the performance hall is built.
I wasn’t an ABBA fan as a kid, but as I grew older I learned to appreciate that they were a huge part of that era. Life was carefree and innocent. This is definitely the song of the pandemic for me. Their voices are amazing and the video production is superb.
I'm not particularly religious but these super swedes are heaven sent. They are a gift to us all.
You are correct. I am a 63 year old man and this brought a tear to my eye. The memories it evokes of my teenage years - and knowing their story. The lyrics are very meaningful, and moving. A wonderful, warm blast from the past that brings such powerful memories.
I was in my teens in the 70's & most Friday or Saturday night I would go to the disco especially listening to ABBA. Iim MORE than happy they're back!!!!!!!!! xxxx
For me, it was the first time in my life when I cried with joy. They look young because these are holograms of them.
not holograms, but abbatars, created by singing themselves and performing themselves, for 5 weeks with 160 cameras, to finally send those abbatars on tour with clothing and skin just how they last performed before temporarily pausing 40 years ago.
You are absolutely right. I was lazy and took a shortcut but came up short with my explanation.
Both new songs are great in their own rights:
1. I Still Have Faith in You is malancholic, it's the type of song which grows in you as you listen to it more and more often.
2. Don't Shut Me Down is more upbeat and dancy, the type which you like straight away.
Conclusion- Both are great and have their own strengths. Just enjoy them as they are
Yes, very true. I wasn't much transported when I listened to these two songs for the first time, although I have been their fan since 1974.
Maybe it's because I had expected something very extraordinary...
But as I listen to them over and over again I like them more and more.
Agreed.
"And they look so young still" epic comment!!!!!
😂
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
Tha avatars are amazing.
@@helenarcarvalho
Anyway, I'm not going to get the tickets and go London to see them...
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, many people were weeping with joy when we first heard/saw it. 11 months later I can listen without tearing up.
For those of us who have known them since the start, this is an amazing moment. They will own the global record charts again. Don't Shut Me Down is already #1 in two countries and #1 streaming on Spotify.
“They look so young still”. 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉 Shows how really innocent the host of this channel is!
What a contagious song it is & what a song to come back with. It is an award winner for sure & with Frida's unique voice, I'd know it anywhere, they can't go wrong with this one. In fact, the whole album is fantastic & what else would we expect from them, it's a masterpiece. It is like they are singing about their past lives & that they shouldn't have broken up in the first place. Of course the footage used is 40 years old & special effects are used to accompany this song. Only hope they come out for real to tour in 2022 if it's possible.
A year before my 50th birthday came the news of my return. I cried like a kid listening to the song. For my 50th birthday I made myself a present and went to the ABBA Arena in London. What happened with me there-I don't remember. I know that tears were pouring profusely. One woman went as far as asking if I was okay :)
A year later, I went again with the idea that I would remember more from the concert. It was the same. I'm going again in the fall. Perhaps the third time will be better :)
Grew up with ABBA and loved them, despite some saying they were 'bubble gum pop' at the time. ABBA's sound was unique & am so glad they return now with that distinct ABBA sound. Leave it to ABBA to give us this gift in 2021 when we need it most. Only wish I could see the avatar performances in London. Hope we do get to see the finished product via streaming. A marvelous feat of technical ingenuity. Only Lucas' ILM studios could pull this off, and they have done just that judging from the little snippets we've seen. A breakthru in music and animation for sure.
similar avatars (actors with those suits, to be replaced by robots etc) were already done for a while for movies, but not with that much effort in doing it perfectly, singing themselves and performing themselves for 5 weeks with 160 cameras, adding only clothing and skin to produce a performance of 22 songs in 90 minutes for the abbatars.
🧡 ABBA !
BRAVO ! WELCOME BACK, ABBA !
At 65, I'm from the generation that helped propel ABBA to global stardom. Today, not only am I in tears of joy, but I'm overwhelmed for them. 40 years ago ABBA decided they had enough and exited the stage on a high note. Through all these years, we, ABBA fans, hounded them to come back. We knew all along what they questioned in themselves - that they never lost their magic. They finally listened, and this is proof. I do hope this earns ABBA platinum. They so deserve it.
Thanks, Paul for this reaction. I subscribed to your channel for Gabriel Henrique. I've been waiting to return for more reactions to him, but I'll take this one for now.
For the love of music, and ABBA - Peace.
Both are great tunes.. I still have faith in you is also theatrical sonically in presentation, something which Frida does so very well.. While Don't shut me down is demure, sweet and bouncy..so compatible with Agnetha
When both voices merge in both songs.. MAGICAL
That's the best charm, the two voices blended together.
Neither has Agnetha ever sounded so good without Frida, nor Frida without Agnetha.
Please react to Elvis Presley singing Bridge over Troubled Water live in Las Vegas 1970. Phenomenal voice and range. Thank you, from South Africa. 🇿🇦👍
They decided to come back for the love of the music they create together, for the magic of their union.
And I still cry also every time I hear either of these two new songs. I can't even imagine what it will be like when the whole album is released.
To be deep, though, this comeback together with everything it involves move so many people out of their habitual survival mode and it means that they are healing. SOOOO good!!!
Thanks for the reaction!
It is brilliant. Loving. Time. Thank God for ABBA
They weren't gone, they just paused for a time...bringing with them a life time of songs...
Following ABBA’s announcement of new music and a virtual concert that will take place in May next year, the band are also giving fans more details about how their virtual alter-egos have been created.
The ‘ABBAtars’ have been created by more than 100 digital artists and technicians from Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).
The band were filmed using motion capture as they performed a 22 song set over the course of five weeks. The team at ILM then “de-aged” Benny, Björn, Agnetha and Anni-Frid, taking them back to 1979.
“They got on a stage in front of 160 cameras and almost as many genius [digital] artists, and performed every song in this show to perfection, capturing every mannerism, every emotion, the soul of their beings - so that becomes the great magic of this endeavour. It is not four people pretending to be ABBA: It is actually them,” explained producer Ludvig Andersson.
Four of ILM’s five global studios are working on the project, revealed Ben Morris, ILM’s creative director. “The team size is certainly somewhere between 500 and a thousand artists working on the project around the world,” he added.
a masterpiece
Been a fan ever since Waterloo in 1974. Bought The Visitors in Dec. 1981 while in Trieste, Italy and began anticipating the next new album which, as it turned out, wouldn't be for 40 years. It feels like ong absent dear friends are finally returned home again.
...Yes, it make us cry....so many emotions in this song and with this song, it'a so amazing...
In video where they land..it is in Australia Sydney..when they did a concert way back '70s...😁😁😁🤩🤩🤩
Frida said when she read the lyrics to I still have faith in you she started to cry which she said because of the bonds and memories that they have.
ABBA is a gift from the God. Long live them.
Wonderful i have all CD
ABBA is forever young ❤ ❤
It is just beautiful! Enough to say so, because now we know that music can still be beautiful, melodic, touching, made with taste, with knowledge of respecting all the rules that make music functional in sense of composition structure, arrangement with taste and so on. We needed such a splendid comeback after so many years to feel again a breeze of times when Benny and Bjorn created songs so full of melody, harmony and sparkling score lines. And yes, they still have it in themselves!!! Despite their age and everything that happened in the meantime. I've grown up with their records in the 70ies, and there is no words to describe one's feelings while listening this very song.
What a return to the music scene. Nearly 40 years in the making, and a return to the top of their game. The big reveal when the 'real' Abba walk onto the stage and appear as the Abbatars is amazing and your reaction to it is the same as those of everyone else. Completely unexpected 'reveal. Last new material was 39 years ago. And they've never really gone away all that time.
Welcome Back ABBA...After a long wait...it is over..you finally arrived...and definitely back...the two ladies sound superb fresh and new...pitch perfect...when the ladies blend...It is Magic...💙💖💛
#WelcomeBackABBA
#ILoveABBA
#ABBAfirevermoreEternity
It is emotional drying to cry...😭😭😭 But Thank You Abba for the new music...💙💖💛
God Bless You more ABBA...!!!
There were two songs ready in 2018, but the release was postponed to 2019, then to 2020 and finally to 2021. so we knew that new songs were on the way, but we weren't quite sure when they would be released until recently. Now we have the album to look forward to, due I believe in November. I am looking forward to the marketing the Avatar 'thing'. I need it to rejuvenate myself. lol
This song gave me goosebumps!
more than 2 a live reality concert in London in 2022.
Thank you for the music ABBA!!!!!
They are from my country Very popular when I was very young Agneta Björn Benny and Annifrid Beautiful voices ❤️👍
They said it themselves that in the first years of their career they were much criticized in their home country Sweden...
Yes. Their return was expected among fans. They are building a performance space in London for their new show. However, converting performers into avatars raises plenty of questions. ABBA are now "forever young". What will this mean for the music industry? Immortality is now "a thing" for some.
Their previous album was released in November 1981 - this makes it 42 years ago on next November.
"they look so young still" 😂😂 Come on! They're all in their 70's. Those are Avatars or ABBAtars! It's all done digitally. It's how the fans remember them.
No one knew. Not even here in Sweden. And yes, I cried, despite the fact that I was never a huge fan. I love some of their songs and some I don´t like at all. This one got right in my own personal top-5-Abba-list.
This was wonderful..I loved Abba and it brings back a lot of memories. I always smile when I hear them.
We will make it if we stick together...bring out the best in us.
It is technology that they look young...avatar technology...💙💖💛
Yeeeeeessssss!!!!!!!
The moment that You like
and repeat
is with images of ABBA to begin the Europe Tour 1979...
but in the follow scene...
They are like ABBATARS!
It was quite sweet, Paul, to see your reaction as someone with only a passing interest and appreciation of ABBA. Most life-long fans have spent the two last days with leaking eyes, and I think you weren't far off, were you?
Not far at all! I'm sure that if I had had more experience with them, I would also be emotional 👏
We needed fantastic melodies again!!!!!❤
the girls sound wonderful !!!
Frida 75, Agneta 72, Eternal voices
In 1979 they released CHIQUITITA in Spanish. It was a huge monster hit everywhere in Latin America and Spain. There was no kid, teen or adult person who didn't love it. It became the best-selling single of all time in many countries. I was one of those kids, 12 years old, and from that moment on a devoted ABBA fan.
Living up to watch this after all these years, after up's and down's, personal turmoils, departures, and arrivals, after a world pandemic, it's just an immense gift.
I still have faith in music, I still have faith in them.
Love and Light from Peru.
Enjoyed your review so much, thx. Yes, tears of joy upon listening , watching their new song video. Beautiful song ! In the year 2016 the group mentioned they had plans to do a couple of songs in the studio as well as being the first to try some new digital technology in development. That is what you are seeing at the end of this video...avatars or Abba-tars ! Due to technical difficulties and covid pandemic the project has been delayed. BUT, fortunately for fans, in the meantime the group enjoyed being back together in the music studio and continued to write and produce more songs for which now there will be a full new album released on Nov. 5, 2021. A wish come true ! .... more tears of joy now
This video is CGI, but very good... ABBA is ABBA, even we talk the 21's or the 70's... ABBA is ABBA... And I love it... :D
ABBA just sent to school all the Pop singers of today.
Thank you!❤ I'm Swedish and we knew when you knew but it wasn't even reported in our news, it's so Swedish and hard to explain but it boils down to respect of privacy that we value highly. A few days later and still no Swedish media official outlet has even mentioned it, no interviews and ABBA is a 100% fine by that, actually prefers it that way👌😃 Remember, they live very private lives, always did, it's the Swedish way for everyone, including our Royal family which goes way back🇸🇪
They were not together for FORTY YEARS!😃 Agneta is 71, Annifrid and Björn 75 and Benny 76 years of age and deliver like champions which proves age is nothing but a number❤ ABBA is building their own arena in London for their new format of shows, will premiere in May 2022, all the information is in the release broadcast to be found on ABBA Official CZcams channel✌
ABBA actually did the first music video ever and it was for a very practical reason back in 1975. One year after winning Eurovision they got their international breakthrough and it was Australia who gave it to them. Problem was, demand exploded and there was no way they could respond in person all over the globe so their very clever manager Stikkan Anderson came up with them music videos to keep the momentum going worldwide and it worked😉
Björn and Benny are planning a whole new project. Establish a new ABBA-arena in London. Including a lot of new technical solutions, like the ABBA-tars in the end of this video.
I think their concerts will be very exciting and great, with new technology and including both new and old music.
They came back to remind us how music should be done. No auto tune, no naked dancers to cover up that they can't sing. How to write a song, do singers even know how to do that or play an instrument? The guys have never stopped working. They did the Broadway and movie hit momma Mia and chess. It took a lot of sweet talking to get the girls to come on board.
Full Album in November. Their final, these two songs are just the first two.
Yes- I saw a random photo of the four of them in a studio almost 3 years ago. Months later they admitted that they were in the studio and were thinking about doing new music. A few months after that they admit they had recorded two songs for the abbatar idea. I’ve googled “ABBA new music” for the past 2 1/2 years every week. It has been delayed for over a year. However, the full album seems to be a complete surprise to everyone.
Paul! Its their Avatars! 😉 They’ve also got older as we all do! 👍
Big fan here! I felt like i was hearing a combination of Frida's I Wonder and Our Last Summer. This is the best gift of 2021.
My first impression was that this song was similar to THE WAY OLD FRENDS DO, but more solemn.
Yes previously announced way back 2018 that they will come together to make a new song...and to be out by 2020..but pandemic came...it was put on hold...but finally it is out and released now 2021..the long wait is worthwhile...they look young because if avatar...💙💖💛
They threatened with "a couple of new songs" for 3 years. And they kept delaying the launch. The lateness is also linked to the project of their mocap ABBAtars concert.
ABBA Is real pop and dance music not made by computer like today.
Yes, they look so young still - right ?
this is due to holographic technology with which the band is experimenting.
you will find some videos on this aspect.
Teacher Paul seems genuinely emotional. Love it 🥰
ABBA = ABBASOLUTELY SWEDETASTIC still ABBA crazy all these years later saw ABBA live in Melbourne Australia Sidney Myer Music Bowl March 1977
♥️♥️ ABBA
great songs & great to have ABBA back
Abba have left us Australians Fans Down why is The Voyage Tour In England it should be First in Australia as Australia catapulted Abba to go Further in History
"They look so young still"...🤣🤣🤣
No it doesnt break any new ground! Wasnt suppose to. You either like the sound of the band or you dont. I personally was blown away by how wonderful the musical arrangements were on many of the songs and how wonderful a couple of 70 plus year old women can still sound together.
Lovely! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
39 years
Crying here...
Agnetha sangva song called When you really love someone from 2013. She is the blonde
"they look young still" lol
It,s Avatars of ABBA They are 70+ y old Paul
next year, it will be 300 years total .-)
Because the love of creating
We insiders knew in 2018. Then came the pandemic. Upside: No crowds at airport or people to see them catch a taxi to the studio. So they pressed on. Last track was laid just last FRIDAY!
🥰
Insiders? Like do you work with them? 😱 or do you mean you're on top of updates 😂
@@TeacherPaulReacts the latter.
i knew a few years ago saw b andb talking about it
Those are CiG, but the music is them ! We're all so over the top, because they delivered incredible music once again ! But 40 yrs ?
music, singing and all the details of the performance are they themselves, recording 22 songs (90 minutes) over 5 weeks with 160 cameras.
computers "only" add clothing and some 40 year younger skin before sending the abbatars on tour next year.
