    Thank you, lovely Dereck, for dipping into ABBA's lesser known treasures. Frida never sounds the same from one track to another. How does she do that?? Seductive on this one; plaintive and romantic on Fernando; desolate and resigned on Knowing Me Knowing You; happy and light on Super Trouper; impassioned and self-empowered on When All Is Said And Done; comforting and encouraging on I Have A Dream; scathing on Should I Laugh Or Cry; and LETHALLY SARCASTIC and "fuck you" on Put On Your White Sombrero". The most beautifully versatile vocalist ever!!! 💕

    The word ‘andante’ is used in music to indicate a slow pace. The whole song has a double meaning. It’s a metaphor, she’s asking him to play her softly like an instrument. Björn’s lyrics are genius as always! I suggest you checking out ‘I’m A Marionette’.

    A beautiful song, and beautiful vocals. I agree that it's one of Frida's finest moments. Sadly, the song only gained serious public recognition when it was featured in the second 'Mamma Mia' movie. You should check out the Spanish version too. And, as you correctly highlighted, Frida made a rare 'comeback' into the recording studio just a few years ago to make a brand new recording of the Spanish version with the Cuban jazz legend Arturo Sandoval. It's certainly worth a listen.

      @@m.menneke8513- I assume you're referring to Frida's recent recording of the song with Arturo Sandoval? Well, for anyone interested in ABBA-related recordings it most certainly is worth checking out! It may not have the grandeur of ABBA's original English and Spanish recordings, and the trumpet isn't my personal cup of tea, but it was wonderful for many true fans to see and hear Frida make a rare return to the recording studio with such a jazz legend and to still sound so good in her 70's. The only ABBA fans who would not be interested in at least checking it out are the legendary 'sweaty obsessed' Agnetha fans who seem to see it as their life's mission to constantly deride and downplay Frida's contributions to the band (whilst promoting Agnetha's) lest she outshine their idol in any way, shape or form. Sadly, your every comment on this and on other reaction channels suggest that you are one of these individuals. But, if you're actually saying that this is not a beautiful song, featuring beautiful vocals from Frida, then I'm afraid that you're very much in the minority on this one because the vast majority of comments suggest otherwise.

      @M. Menneke @@synchronicityman9062 I agree with you totally, Synconicity Man. It's sad that there are a noisy minority of puerile anti-Frida people who derive self-satisfaction from trolling anything about Frida; it's just to boost their own insecurities, so the can feel superior over others. Yet, I'm sure they wouldn't want to be similarly trolled - which is also a version of bullying.
      And I'm sure that Agnetha, who those people see themselves as being fans of, would be offended by those people who are so nasty about Frida; so how can they call themselves fans of Agnetha if they're being nasty about someone who Agnetha loves?
      Life's too short for the unconstructive, nasty and anti-social comments and attitudes of those people.

      Gregg Field , friend of Frida and her current partner Henry Smith,
      and co-producer of Sandoval's "Ultimate Duets"
      gave an interview in 2018 to abba fan club about how he became friend
      with Frida in 2007, and always was an ABBA fan , and mainly about the recording of "andante, andante" in 2017,
      i selected 2 questions from that interview that shows how amazing
      singer and professional Firda is , with 72 years old.
      BTW, Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha loved the new rendition of Andante, Andante.
      Eight-time Grammy winner and Latin Grammy
      Producer of the Year, Gregg Field is one of
      the most musically diverse and highly soughtafter producers, musicians and educators in
      music. Among his recent recordings are Seal’s
      Standards, Michael Bublé’s No. 1 Billboard
      album To Be Loved, Alejandro Fernandez’s No.
      1 Billboard album Confidencias, Jason Mraz’s
      Love is a Four Letter Word, Barbara Streisand’s
      What Matters Most and, of course, Arturo
      Sandoval’s album Ultimate Duets that not only
      features Pharrell, Ariana Grande, Stevie Wonder
      and Placido Domingo, amongst others, but also
      brought our beloved Frida back to the recording
      studio. When we contacted Gregg prior to the
      announcement of the final release date of the
      album, he let us know he considers himself a
      ‘fellow ABBA fan’, which makes him perfect to
      join our gallery of famous ABBA fans. Within no
      time, we had the pleasure of an in-depth talk
      with Gregg, who resides in California.
      How would you describe Frida’s work
      method in the studio?
      [enthusiastically] Mind blowing! When Frida
      first sang the song from beginning to end, she
      sounded exactly like a singer who is singing all
      the time and adjusting to the studio environment.
      She immediately asked to do a second take and
      then a third. When she finished the third take, she
      turned and looked at us in the control room with
      the biggest smile on her face and said, “That was
      pretty good, wasn’t it?” I believe, at that moment,
      Frida realized that after all this time she still ‘had
      it’. She came into the control room to listen and
      then said, “Let’s do it for real!” Frida was half way
      through the fourth take when she sang a wrong
      lyric, and she stopped and laughed. These days,
      when singers record and make a mistake, we roll
      back a bit and ‘punch-in’ to the recording. I asked
      Frida if she wanted to punch-in, and she said, “No,
      ABBA never recorded like that,” and she would
      sing it from the beginning. Nobody does that these
      days. Frida began to sing the fifth take and what
      became be the vocal you hear on the recording.
      It was a flawless and breathtaking performance.
      It was as though the years had melted away. As
      Frida was recording that take, Henry said, “Look
      at Frida, she looks 20 years younger,” and she
      did. We then watched as Frida built that ABBA
      sound. She began by tripling her lead vocal
      with a precision I have rarely experienced in the
      studio. She then added the harmony parts and,
      when finished, came into the studio to listen back.
      For the first time, we all heard Frida’s amazing
      vocals with Arturo’s soaring trumpet, and it was
      very emotional for all of us. In all of the years I
      have known Frida, I had never seen her so happy
      and filled with joy as when we first heard the
      Andante, Andante playback. I can only imagine
      the pressure she must have felt returning to the
      studio. By the time we finished, Frida and Arturo
      knew they had created magic together, and we all
      left the studio with hugs and tears.
      Were you confident about the reaction to
      the end result?
      Ha! I was nervous as hell until I heard that
      Benny, Björn and Agnetha loved it [smiles]!
      I think, I am most amazed at Frida’s voice
      sounding so ageless. That made the end result
      greater than I could have imagined. It’s one of
      the best duets on the album with the way Frida’s
      voice and Arturo’s trumpet work so well together.
