Recorded together at Benny's studio Riksmixningsverket in Stockholm, Voyage will be released worldwide on 5th November on Universal Music Group.<br/><br/>ABBA Voyage will open 27th May 2022 at the ABBA Arena, a state-of-the-art 3,000 capacity arena located at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

To be able to finally share this endeavour with the world is a proud moment for us and we can't wait to welcome you to our arena in East London, a place where we are so happy to be."<br/><br/>Baillie Walsh, Director:<br/>"I watched ABBA win the Eurovision song contest in 1974, and never did I imagine that 47 years later I would be with them on this extraordinary voyage. Life is weird and wonderful sometimes."<br/><br/>Wayne McGregor, Choreographer: "Imagine: growing up in the North of England in the 70's and learning to ballroom, Latin and disco dance to the incredible songs of ABBA. I was 8 and I was totally transported. Fast forward to 2020, being in Sweden and dancing with ABBA - in real life! I was about to be 50 and I was totally transported again. That is the magic of ABBA. <br/>We have shared many creative and joyful adventures with a bold collaborative team to make the impossible possible for ABBA Voyage: technological wizardry, state of the art immersion and entertainment innovation. And still at its searing heart we simply have new songs, new moves, classic songs, classic moves: ABBA is DANCE and always will be. See you on the dancefloor".<br/><br/>Sir Lucian Grainge, Chairman & CEO, Universal Music Group:<br/>"From the very beginning of my career, and having had the privilege to work with them directly for many years since, it's been a tremendous joy to be surrounded by ABBA and their music. Their boundless creativity and timeless melodies makes us want to partner with them on everything they do because we know it will be simply great."<br/><br/>The music video for 'I Still Have Faith In You' has been directed by Shynola.

"Det enda jag önskar mig är en jul med dig"<br/>Det är kanske den raden som säger allt vad julen betyder för mig. Den här låten är lite av en tillbakablick på all förväntan jag hade på högtiden när jag var barn, en tacksamhet för alla minnen som skapades och som kommer tillbaka i juletid och nu när jag är vuxen inser jag att det bara är lugn och ro som jag ser fram emot mest och att skapa nya minnen tillsammans med min egen familj. <br/>Sanna.<br/> <br/>"En jul med dig" är skriven och producerad av Peter Kvint och David Lindgren Zacharias (två namn som bl.a ligger bakom några av Darins största framgångar som "En säng av rosor" och "Ta mig tillbaka")

En bättre musikalisk tidsmaskin till det svenska 60-talet än Swedish Pop & Beat 1963-1969 är nog inte lätt att finna... På denna samling medverkar totalt 40 av de mest betydelsefulla banden/artisterna inom svensk 60-talspop. <br/><br/>Sverige började under 60-talet visa att man var en musiknation att räkna med. De svenska artisterna turnerade inte bara hemmavid utan även internationellt (t.o.m. bort till Mexiko). Man lyckades etablera en hygglig spridning av sina skivor i nästan samtliga världsdelar!<br/>Artister som senare uppnådde ännu större berömmelse utvecklade under 60-talet sina musikaliska talanger, som exempelvis Björn Skifs, Tommy Körberg, Lasse Holm, Ola Håkansson, Janne Schaffer och samtliga ABBA-medlemmar (med sina separata karriärer). <br/><br/>Genom albumet Swedish Pop & Beat 1963-1969 får vi 40 gyllene exempel på hur det svenska popundret började ta form!

Ingen kan väl ha missat Billie Eilishs segertåg över världen. Hon har spottat ur sig hit efter hit, hon kammade hem otroliga sju Grammys för sin debut "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?", som för övrigt också var det mest streamade albumet i världen 2019, och hon har skrivit titelspåret till Bondfilmen "No Time To Die".<br/><br/>Hennes andra album har fått titeln "Happier Than Ever". Hon har, precis som på debuten, inte samarbetat med några andra låtskrivare eller producenter förutom med sin bror Finneas O'Connell.
