ABBA - I Still Have Faith In You/ Don't Shut Me Down

[AGinAg (37)]

These need a new topic

00 I Still Have Faith In You
00 Don't Shut Me Down

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've decided they're the greatest songs of ALL TIME

 

[AGinAg (37)]

To think nearly ALL OF US have never heard new ABBA music for the first time.

NOT ME LUV

PERKS OF AGE

NOT ME LUV

PERKS OF AGE

YOU QUEUED OUTSIDE HMV FOR THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

YOU QUEUED OUTSIDE HMV FOR THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER

On glossy 78 rpm

I already think that 'Don't Shut Me Down' is the best new song of 2021 after just 3 listens!

 

[D5K]

I'm aware that this'll get me tarred and feathered but I Still Have Faith In You doesn't do much for me at the moment.

Don't Shut Me Down on the other hand is EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I do like that these sound like if they had released Opus 10. Nothing happened in between worth ABBA caring!

 

[Rita]

Don’t Shut Me Down. OMG! It is as if they never left.

 

[Zu]

I do like that these sound like if they had released Opus 10. Nothing happened in between worth ABBA caring!

I'm so pleased that they've made absolutely no effort whatsoever to sound NEW OR MODERN

 

[Rita]

I Still Have Faith In You is nice. I think it will grow the more I listen.

 

[Iguana]

I'm so pleased that they've made absolutely no effort whatsoever to sound NEW OR MODERN

Is this a ZU-TURN?

 

[Rita]

Will this go to number 1??

 

[octophone]

I hope all that crowd noise isn't on the actual track...

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I hope all that crowd noise isn't on the actual track...

It's not.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Will this go to number 1??

The album will. I expect a big seller.

 

[Zu]

Is this a ZU-TURN?

I never said that I DID want them to sound new or modern. I was just terrified that the new songs would be horrible

 

[octophone]

It's not.

Good news. I don''t have Spotify so I'm having another listen via YouTube.

 

[HalamaK]

Ok, let's listen

 

[Iguana]

I never said that I DID want them to sound new or modern. I was just terrified that the new songs would be horrible

Oh yes I meant about the songs not the modernity

 

[Soldi]

OMG

 

[Peekaboo]

ISHFIY is schmaltzy but let's not kid ourselves for a minute that is a big part of the ABBA canon. When the "do-I-have-it-in-me?" bit kicked in I knew I would like it. Also the build-up is SPINE-TINGLING.

 

[Soldi]

Don’t Shut Me Down

12455/10

 

[Soldi]

This not going to #1 would be homophobia

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They fit perfectly amongst the ABBA back catalogue.

Don't Shut Me Down is just PERFECT. They could slot it in at the end of Arrival and it would fit.

 

[Zu]

Oh yes I meant about the songs not the modernity

I would have found it extremely upsetting if the songs had been terrible - I have been to two of those deranged ABBA TALK events, lest we forget - so I didn't dare to imagine that they might be good in case they weren't

Hence pre-unveiling DOOM AND GLOOM

 

[FetchFugly]

'I believe it would be FAIR TO SAY that you LOOK BEWILDERED'

Agnetha's delivery of that very ABBA lyric

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I genuinely expect the album to be FUCKING MASSIVE.

 

[lolly]

Don't Shut Me Down reminds me of Carola's 'Främling' in parts.

 

[VoR]

I do wish the voices were a bit higher in the mix on the choruses of I Still Have Faith In You, but I'm guessing it might not have flattered them as much...

 

[Kratz]

I am stunned by the quality of these songs, particularly ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’ - it’s like they never left the studio.

 

[ManicKangaroo]

iTunes:

11. ABBA - I Still Have Faith In You
14. ABBA - Don't Shut Me Down

 

[octophone]

I genuinely expect the album to be FUCKING MASSIVE.

The supermarkets will stock it. It'll be everywhere.

 

[Zu]

The final "I have learnt to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now" on 'Don't Shut Me Down'

*plays it again*

Honestly I'm as undisappointed as it's possible to be!

 

[Peekaboo]

When can we hear the rest of the tracks????
