"A" is Agnetha's first new album in almost a decade, her last being "My Colouring Book" released in 2004. When Agnetha was a teenager she released a few albums of schlager music in her homeland of Sweden but it wasn't until she met Benny, Bjorn and Frida and ABBA was formed that she really rose to prominence and became internationally famous. I love ABBA and Agnetha was always my favourite so when I heard she was releasing a new album I was ecstatic. "A" is an album of sombre love songs sung in Agnetha's classic sweet girl next door type voice, along with one disco song that takes you back to ABBA's heydey in the 70's. Her voice is still as great as ever and I loved all her new songs, however I don't feel this album was as good as her albums with ABBA. Still, a very solid effort. 4/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: The One Who Loves You Now, When You Really Loved Someone, I Should've Followed You Home, Perfume In The Breeze & Dance Your Pain Away.
