Where do we go from here?

Back in 2013, I was entering my third year of being an obsessed ABBA fan. I had experienced a lot of shame and negativity from people who were disappointed at me for my obsession, but I had never let it stop me. I was probably in my ABBA peak at that time, drawing ABBA constantly, making animations to their songs, LEARNING TO MAKE THEIR CLOTHES FOR MY ABBA DOLLS, like, I was obsessed! (Still am, of course haha).

I had never once thought that any of the ABBA members would release new music in my lifetime. Okay, Frida released a song now and then, Benny was active with his band, and Agnetha had released a whole album in 2004, but I was 3 then lol and by the time I had discovered ABBA, things were fairly quiet.

So when A was announced, a whole new album from Agnetha Fältskog, I was HYPED! i was so excited the moment the album was announced, and then when it came out, I listened to it so much, often on repeat. All the promotion for the album, interviews and even a performance at BBC's Children in Need! I was so happy.

A holds a special place in my heart, and now with the album celebrating 10 years with a new, reimagined version, whatever that means, I am feeling that same thrill that 12-year-old me had. I'm just so excited.

I like the new song a lot. It's very upbeat and happy sounding, it feels very modern. Agnetha's voice is amazing. Regardless of how I feel about auto-tuning in songs, I fully accept that it's a tool that every artist uses nowadays to aim for the most perfect and crisp vocal out there. So if there is auto-tune on this track, I do not care. The fact that she's releasing new music makes me happy and I feel honored to have been able to experience new music from ABBA and Agnetha these last couple of years. :')

(Also I meant to post something about when this song was first announced last week and my thoughts, but I have been SUFFERING from getting my wisdom teeth removed and had just vomitted a ton when I first saw the announcement.... Yeah... it's been tough.  I seem to be on the tail end of things though, so hopefully no more of this PAIN soon enough. :) )
