Abba

ABBA was a Swedish pop music group. The band consisted of Agnetha Faltskog, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Anni-Frid Lyngstad (of Norwegian-German origin). They topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The name "ABBA" is an acronym formed from the first letters of each of the group members' given names (Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-Frid).

ABBA gained immense international popularity employing catchy song hooks, simple lyrics, and a Wall of Sound achieved by overdubbing the female singers' voices in multiple harmonies. As their popularity grew, they were sought after to tour Europe, Australia, and North America, drawing crowds of near-hysterical fans, notably in Australia. Touring became a contentious issue, being particularly unpopular with Agnetha, but they continued to release studio albums to great commercial success. At the height of their popularity, however, both marriages of the band members (Benny with Frida, and Bjorn with Agnetha) failed, and the relationship changes were reflected in their music, as they produced more thoughtful lyrics with different compositions.

They remain a fixture of radio playlists and are one of the world's best selling bands, having sold over 370 million records world wide;[2][3] they still sell two to four million records a year.[4] ABBA was also the first pop group from mainland Europe to enjoy consistent success in the charts of English-speaking countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Their enormous popularity subsequently opened the doors for other Continental European acts.

The music of ABBA has been re-arranged into the successful musical Mamma Mia! that has toured worldwide and had a movie version released in July 2008. All four of the former members of ABBA were present at the Stockholm premieres of both the musical (2005) and the film (2008). The film premiere took place at the Benny Andersson-owned Rival Theatre at Mariatorget, Stockholm on 4 July 2008. A new museum devoted entirely to the pop supergroup was scheduled to open in Stockholm in 2009, but the project was postponed as of September 2008

THE ABBA MEMBERS TODAY
Frida:

Frida recorded her first English-language solo album in 1982, ABBA’s final year together. The album was called Something’s Going On, and was produced by Phil Collins. In 1984, she released the album Shine, produced by Steve Lillywhite, before abandoning her music career and devoting herself to family life and environmental work. She made a comeback in 1996 with the Swedish-language album Djupa andetag (“Deep Breaths”), which remains her last album to date. Today, Frida is mainly devoted to charity work, but occasionally appears as guest vocalist on other artists’ records, the most high-profile of which was 2004’s collaboration with former Deep Purple member Jon Lord on ‘The Sun Will Shine Again’. In 2005 her albums for Polar Music (Frida ensam, Something’s Going On and Shine) were re-released with bonus tracks. Along with an expanded edition of Djupa andetag, the albums were also included in the box set Frida 4xCD 1xDVD, which featured a DVD of promo clips, television appearances and a brand new interview with Frida.
Agnetha:

Agnetha’s first English-language solo album, Wrap Your Arms Around Me, was produced by Mike Chapman in 1983. Two years later she released Eyes Of A Woman, produced by Eric Stewart. Her last album for many years, I Stand Alone, was produced by Peter Cetera in 1987. An authorized book on Agnetha’s life, As I Am, was published in 1996, but otherwise she remained withdrawn from public life. In 2004 Agnetha released her first album in 17 years, entitled My Colouring Book. The following year her three albums released on Polar Music (the Christmas album Nu tändas tusen juleljus – recorded with her daughter Linda – Wrap Your Arms Around Me and Eyes Of A Woman) were re-released with bonus tracks.
Björn and Benny:

After ABBA’s final recordings, Björn and Benny collaborated with Tim Rice on the musical Chess. A concept album was released in 1984, followed by the London première of the musical in May 1986. Benny released two mainly instrumental solo albums in 1987 and 1989. In 1990, Björn and Benny started work on a new musical. The Swedish-language Kristina från Duvemåla ("Kristina From Duvemåla") was premièred in 1995 and became a major success. The musical has been translated into English and may be staged in the United States at some point.

Benny released his first “solo” album in 12 years in 2001, Benny Anderssons orkester ("The Benny Andersson Orchestra"); a further three albums with the orchestra have followed since then, along with brief but successful tours. The first few years of the new millennium saw Björn and Benny devote themselves to a revival of their Chess musical. A Swedish production – the first in their home country – opened in Stockholm in 2002. The pair is also engaged in the various international stagings of the Mamma Mia! musical.

Leona Lewis-Spirit (2008)

Not dupe of the previous release. Props to them for getting it out.Different
tracklisting, bonus tracks dont appear in any other release. Past 3 months,
enjoy!


The truest test of Simon Cowell's power within the music industry circa 2008
was not whether American Idol could produce a star in its seventh season or
if its UK cousin The X Factor would have another success in its fifth season,
it was whether he could turn Leona Lewis into the international superstar he
so clearly believed she is. Lewis was the third winner of the X Factor - the
Cowell-driven replacement to Pop Idol in Britian, a replacement that came to
be because he wanted to own a significant piece of the show - and one of the
key differences between Factor and Idol is that the judges can mentor the
contestants and therefore have a stake in the outcome of the show, more than
they do on Idol, where the judges merely comment. Rightly impressed by Lewis'
multi-octave voice - reminiscent of a warmer, earth-bound Mariah Carey -
Cowell continued his mentorship after the conclusion of the show, making her
the first contestant in the whole Idol/Factor enterprise that he personally
shepherded through the major label process. He struck a deal with Clive Davis
- the executive producer behind all the American Idol projects, the producer
who publicly bristled when Kelly Clarkson tried to take control of her career
through her original compositions - and the two launched a grand plan to
break Lewis in her native UK first, then slowly roll her out in the US a few
months later, via an appearance on Oprah and a slightly resequenced and
remixed version of her debut, Spirit.



That US version drops the bonus track of Leona's version of "A Moment Like
This," her first hit single that is not so coincidentally a cover of Kelly's
first big single. If Kelly became a thorn in Davis' side, Leona Lewis seems
happy, even eager, to play the major-label game, singing anything that comes
her way, never lodging a complaint when she has to cut a couple R&B-flavored
tracks to appeal to the American market. These tunes - "Misses Glass" and
"Forgive Me" -- are just slightly glitzier than the rest of Spirit, surely
bearing heavier rhythms but not to the extent that the beats obscure Lewis's
voice, as the whole point of Spirit is to showcase her singing, particularly
those high glory notes that are all the rage on Idol/Factor. Unlike most
Idol/Factor alumni, Lewis can hit those big notes but make it seem easy,
never straining her voice and building nicely to the climax. Unlike most
divas, there is a human quality to her voice, as she's singing to the song,
not singing to her voice. Then again, this was also true of Mariah Carey on
her 1990 debut, which Spirit greatly resembles in how the handful of
R&B-oriented songs camouflages how this is almost entirely a stuffy
middle-of-the-road pop record. Not only that, but Spirit is so old-fashioned
it sounds as if it could have been released in 1990 and compete with Carey's
debut for the top of the charts; her first single "Bleeding Love" opens with
a crawling organ that recalls the muted gospel of "Vision of Love," even if
the skin-crawling lyric "you cut me open and I keep bleeding love" wouldn't
have suited the Top 40 in 1990. That stultifying adult-contemporary
atmosphere may makes Spirit stilted but it's also as savvy a move as you
could expected from Cowell: ever since Mariah has long ago abandoned AC for
the clubs, there is a gaping need for a vocalist like Leona Lewis, a singer
that can belt it out but is safe and tame, having no interest in the perks of
stardom that exist beyond the stage. And boy is Leona Lewis ever that - she
is blessed with a terrific voice but very little on-record personality,
something the very professional, very inoffensive tunes emphasize. Thanks to
this collection of calculatedly commercial tracks - tunes crafted to appeal
to everyone yet no one in particular - Lewis merely comes across as the most
talented and most willing singer to ever play Cowell's game, so no wonder he
loves her. But this also points out the big difference between how Cowell has
taken Leona Lewis under her wing and how Tommy Mottola watched over Mariah.
Mottola married Carey, having both an emotional and financial stake in her
career, but those mixed emotions helped obscure the machinery that drover her
career. Cowell is only in it for the cash with Lewis, so the machinations are
too apparent on this otherwise appealing debut. And that's too bad because
Spirit surely reveals a singer that has a richer tonal quality than any diva
to come along in the past 15 years or so - if she had gotten the tunes to
match her voices, this would have been both a killer record in addition to
the international blockbuster that it was so carefully crafted to be.

Putumayo Presents - Women Of The World - Celtic II

Like its predecessor, Putumayo Presents Women of the World: Celtic, this superb compilation boasts a variety of Celtic and Celtic-influenced folk by female singers. This is hardly a CD for purists; rather, its focus is artists who provide a contemporary approach to the music of Ireland and Scotland. Not all of the 12 artists heard are from those countries -- Natalie MacMaster, Pamela Morgan and Mary Jane Lamond are Canadian, while Eileen Ivers was born in the Bronx. Most of the songs are best described as modern folk-pop with Celtic touches, including Dublin singer Susan McKeown's Joni Mitchell-influenced "Jericho," Morgan's "It Ain't Funny" and the female duo Touchwood's "Sovay." But for fresh-sounding, contemporary takes on traditional Gaelic songs, check out Eithne Ni Uallachain on "Ta Se Na La," Karen Matheson & Capercaillie on "Mi Le M'Uilinn" and Mary Jane Lamond on "Bog A' Lochain." Putumayo's first Women of the World: Celtic collection sold over 130,000 units (which was a lot for a world music release on a small label), and the label showed equally good taste this time. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
