ABBA to release never-heard-before song for first time in almost two decades

ABBA to release never-heard-before song for first time in almost two decades


They became the epitome of 1970s kitsch with a string of Eurovision hits.

But Abba have set the pop world reaching for their cheese cloth outfits again by announcing they will release another catchy tune - nearly 30 years after they split up.

The previously unheard demo, called Twinkling Star to a Passing Angel, was recorded in 1981.

It lay forgotten in a studio backroom for decades after failing to make the final cut of their final studio album, The Visitors.

Yeah, I know it's not cool to like ABBA, but fuck it. They had some great tunes, many of which never even made it to the radio. I look forward to this new one.

Nice to see that this new song is coming on a remastered release of the Visitors album, which is one of my all-time favorites.

I'm listening to ABBA right this very minute. The Gold and More Gold albums. I've always liked them.
