2 new tracks released this week from a new upcomming ABBA album and concert around May 2022 in London with a lot of lights and screens most likely showing avatars of their "younger" selfs. Benny said; "But we have no arena?" Björn's answer: "Well lets build one"

I have to ask the question, how does one produce a song after all these years again, and somehow sound exactly as if it was produced all those years ago?!

That is an accomplishment in itself, is it?

It's rare that someone after so many years manages to get close to capturing what they used to do, let alone nail it exactly, lord knows how many artists have tried and failed absolutely spectacularly. I absolutely find it quite the accomplishment that they mange to nail it exactly.

It's kind of a dangerous endeavor though, as it's easy to venture into the self-parody territory. Oxygene 7-13 has this problem and "Don't shut me down" is very close (don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but I can't help but feel that they explicitly lifted some parts from previous tracks)

I'm still glad that Equinoxe Infinity did not contain a single Eminent pluck sound ;)

"That your out there waiting"?
"Your not sure that I'm alone?"
Luckily, JMJ is not the only one to have grammar errors in his videos.

I'm sure this will stick in my head for days.
