Introduction
In a revelation that has electrified fans around the world, ABBA’s Benny Andersson, now 78, has finally made the announcement that longtime followers of the legendary Swedish group have been waiting decades to hear. In a recent exclusive interview with Swedish media outlet SVT Kultur, Benny confirmed that new music from ABBA may still be on the horizon — despite previous statements that Voyage (2021) would be their final studio release.
“For a long time, we truly believed we had said everything we needed to say musically as ABBA,” Benny explained during the interview. “But lately, there’s been this… pull. Ideas have been flowing again. It’s not a question of chasing trends — it’s about creating something that feels honest, timeless, and from the heart.”
While he stopped short of confirming a full album, Benny admitted that several songs have already been written — and even recorded in demo form. “Let’s just say,” he added with a knowing smile, “ABBA isn’t done quite yet. Not entirely.”
Fans were quick to react to the bombshell online, with hashtags like #ABBANotDone, #BennyRevealsAll, and #NewABBAMusic trending across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok. For many, this moment feels like a dream come true — a chance to once again hear new melodies and harmonies from one of pop music’s most influential and beloved groups.
Benny, the musical mastermind behind many of ABBA’s biggest hits, also opened up about the emotional connection that continues to drive his songwriting, especially at this stage in his life. “There’s something about writing music at this age,” he said. “You’ve lived, you’ve loved, you’ve lost. The emotions are deeper. And if we do release something new, it will reflect that maturity — but still sound unmistakably like ABBA.”
The 2021 release of Voyage marked ABBA’s first new studio album in 40 years, and was widely seen as a beautiful and fitting final chapter in their legendary career. It topped charts in over a dozen countries and spawned the massively successful ABBA Voyage digital concert in London, where fans could watch virtual avatars of the band performing their classics — and two new songs — in a high-tech, immersive experience.
So, what does this new revelation mean? According to Benny, it’s still early, but the desire is there — not only from the fans, but from within the group. “We’re talking. We’re sharing ideas. Nothing is set in stone yet, but the door — the one we thought we had closed — is now slightly open again.”
Whether it results in a single song, an EP, or something bigger, one thing is clear: ABBA’s magic continues to evolve. And with Benny Andersson finally hinting at more to come, fans around the world are holding their breath — and their hearts — in joyful anticipation.
