Fridas mezzosoprano is just brilliant. She is 76 here and there is no autotune with computor bettering. Now and then Agnetas soprano in the background comes in and in the end the boys comes in

The level of nostalgia is just overwhelming. Simple music in a world of turmoil, very much welcomed.

No autotune because they Anni-Frid (Frida) and Agnetha can actually Sing unlike modern pop.

This is about Abba reassuring their fans that they still have it. The other track 'Don't Shut Me Down' is about the Abba 'abbatars' asking their fans to accept them in their new form.

IMO there has never been a band like ABBA that touches so many people of all generations. Their music is real and personal and resonates with us all. They don't copy anyone don't try and keep up with trends. They just stay faithful to the music they want to write. They are the GOLD standard of pop and I genuinely believe they will never be bettered. ❤

NOSTALGIC, BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, RELATABLE AND EMOTIONAL WONDERFUL.. WHAT A GREAT LYRICS AND FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE. THANKS FOR YOUR REACTION

Once again they have put the smiles back on millions of faces around the world ♥

The first couple of times I heard this song “I still have faith in you.” I got all teary- to hear the ABBA sound! OMG!

I still get emotional when I hear it. ❤❤

This is such a beautiful song. Full blown nostalgia, but without ignoring the sad parts of their common history. Love it.

The thing about this song is it is biographical; as soon as Bjorn heard the melody he knew it had to be about them. But you miss the point of the why you are seeing what you saw. They ABBATARS are dated to 1979 and so they took you to that year. They showed you them going on stage, which will eventually be their digital motion capture selves, leading from their childhood to 1979. That is why you did not see anything older. The show is magnificent. The album is magnificent. ABBA is magnificent.

This song is for, and about, the band. "Don't shut me down" is a song to the fans. And "Just a notion" is an old song, with the voices from the original master, but with new music. So like the show it's a mix of new and old.

I love this song so much.

3 MASTERPIECES IN A ROW FROM ABBA. THIS THE FIRST. ALSO DON'T SHUT ME DOWN AND JUST A NOTION. A NEW ABBA VOYAGE HAS BEGUN, ABBASOLUTE ABBALICIOUS, L💘💘💘💘VE ABBA 😍😍😍😍

I've heard all the ABBA songs from the 1970s. Many are absolutely amazing, but this particular one is a masterpiece. Amazingly good after so long that the sound is still there.

Their wall-of-sound chorus. And a tear-jerker, hey?

We still have faith in em😊 ABBA rules

I cried and cried. We love ABBA ❤️🇸🇪

I went to the ABBA Arena in London June of last year….I know it’s only Abbatars of them but it’s the closest I’ll ever get to seeing ABBA perform in concert…..I was okay until the opening bars of Fernando and that was it I was in tears😢I loved it so much and can’t wait to go back.

I've been to the show in London and it is awesome

Until now two new ABBA songs have been known, both different in their themes and leading voices And both have the ABBA trademark on their solvency in musical composition and production We know the great spirit of perfection that Björn and Benny impress on their creations, and both new creatures live up to their great successes of the 80s. So the biggest mystery was to know the state of the voices of Agnetha and Frida and how they could react to the inevitable passing of the decades and their possible comparisons with previous classics. And I must also say that they both look very good And in that "look" there is an extraordinary job of caring for Björn and Benny to "take care" of their historical singers and former partners. They gave them two wonderful songs, with beautiful melodies and deep lyrics, but they were also surrounded by the iconic hooks and the appeal to emotional nostalgia "I still have faith in You" is an unpublished song in its conception in the history of ABBA because it is self-referential about them as a group, and it is also testimonial, because they tell us about their experiences in all this time Musically it is a ballad with mystical and epic A stately and majestic piano, and Frida's soft voice conducts and recreates ABBA's story with poignant beauty, with Agnetha joining in some verses to emphasize The sound of the drums arrives (a nod to the mega hit "Fernando") as if preparing the change of rhythm And with a powerful guitar comes that first unpublished chorus, because this time all ABBA sings from the bowels of its history and with the strength of its testimony of life, of healing and togetherness. And in the second chorus, even stronger, it becomes very clear that ABBA sings with the passion and courage that Björn's excellent lyrics stand out, it is like a triumphant song of their survival and their bond. And it ends with a solo by Frida, flawless, with the flutes at the end Also isn't a commercial song (more than 5 minutes) it's so emotional, with a fantastic vídeo of all greatest memories of pictures, official videos of 70s songs and Australia tour ABBA really comes back at high level The world needs ABBA sound

"The one who waits for something good..."... Still this gets me so emotional... This is the music of all my childhood.. My upbringing.. Something that is in the soul of many Swedes... They are probably some of the richest Swedes there are. So they are not doing this for money. They are doing this for the love of the fans and for each other... They are all very humble down to earth people. And they have had their struggles in life too. My interpretation of this song is that even they may doubt themself.. Do I still have it in me... And that they finally find out that the age and years are not in the way. They still can... And honestly how many bands take a 39 years break. Comes back when they all are over 70 years old... And still yes still touch hearts.. And show that pop don't need to be a teenager or similar to be the best at it. Nowadays it's way to much artists that from the record companies don't get any support after they pass the 30ths. This is healing music for very many. And I think it comes in a time when many people really needs something like this in their life.

Please react also to their 2nd and 3rd new songs, Don't Shut Me Down and Just A Notion. Mike and Ginger, make sure you'll react to the other 2 new releases above, ahead of the whole new album launching this 5th of November 2021.❤️👍

In these times of Pandemic strife, Abba's new songs are a pleasant relief "even if for a short while" and elevate me back to the 70's . This song and all the new songs released are so well done and the girls vocals are unbelievable for their age. All the productions are high end. This song seems to have the most western influence I've ever heard of all their songs. Love love love it. Very nostalgic. Since the George Lucas production created Abbatars, they are now immortalized as we remembered them in the 70's, pretty cool.

You are such a wonderful people 😺😎 I love your reaction too ABBA,the best music i think.Wish you the best in life and look forward too another reaction from you.GOD Loves you

Yes! Unblocked :-) Very, very few bands have reunited after so many years apart, and still producing songs of this quality after all that time is... unique. Onto their next songs then :-) Take care.

There is no surprise that this was the first of the new songs heard. It's very personal in it's lyrics, asking of themselves if they can still create great songs. It's all tied in to the avatar show which these first two songs will feature. We can well imagine the lighters (are they still allowed?) and phones being lit up at the shows for this one. It's also especially poignant for the fans who have continued to follow them all these years. They've still got it.

Finally unblocked! I am loving the new songs and feeling the emotions. Yes, I noticed you Ginger, getting the feels during this song. I just love that ABBA is in their mid 70s, and they still sound very similar to 40 years ago. Looking forward to the next reactions.

I love it so much, can't wait for their album release next week!

Funny you mention Star Wars near the end. It’s the George Lucas company Industrial Light and Magic that are making the ABBAtars!

Frida is ABBA! ❤❤❤❤❤❤💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Masterpiece. The song construction and progression is simply superb

HI GUYS, HOW GOOD WAS THEIR FIRST OPENING COMEBACK SONG. IT WAS BOTH NOSTALGIC AND EMOTIONAL AND BOY OH BOY, WHAT A LOVELY HEARTFELT JOURNEY THE ABBATARS WERE GREAT, BUT THE VOICES WERE THEIRS. THE VOICES RELECTED MATURITY BUT THEY WERE THEIRS AND STILL VERY GOOD EVEN AFTER 40 YEARS.

I have to say this song had me in tears the first time I heard it. If you've watched other reaction videos, you may have trouble understanding the reaction of us 50+ fans when we say that we were running around weeping and grinning and laughing all at the same time. There has been a lot of discussion about who the "you" in the song refers to. The group? The music? The fans? The creativity? All of those are true, but for me, it means myself. Watching all the background videos, especially the videos of the recording sessions was empowering (I hate that word, but it's the only one that really fits).They are older of course, have put on some weight, have gray hair (when they still have any), are wearing glasses, have wrinkles on their faces and double chins and age spots. In other words, they look like me. And if they can go back into the studio (in their 70s!) and record an entire new album, create their ABBAtars, and start concertizing again, then maybe this 67 year old can also still accomplish something if I only have faith in myself. After all, we have a story and it has survived. 🙂

A few days to go before they drop their newest and probably their last album. Who else is excited? 😊

I have never been a big Abba fan.... Liked several songs, but not "followed them" in a way.... But first time I heard this I felt emotionel, and I think it is SO cool that they give out a new album....

God is here. ABBA is YAWEE. Gods light. they are the light.

Loved your comments. So much so I'll make a note to send you mine when I eventually go to the 'concert' to celebrate my 70th birthday in September 2022! An old Led Zepp. fan in SW England.

The other releases Don't shut me down and Just a Notion (They use the 1978 vocals with a new track) are my favorites out of the 3.

I like that you do not react and explain in the video but afterwards. Most people do it during the video

Great reaction Mike and Ginger 👌 it's great that Abba are back and i think you might like the other 2 new tracks as well, they have that old Abba feel to them. We have tickets for the concert next year but Ginger i agree with you about the avatars because i would prefer to see Abba in concert as they are now because it's not going to be the same even it will probably be a great experience. My cousin used to work with Bjorn Ulvaeus in the 80's on the musical Chess and last year he told me that they were holding auditions in London for Abba lookalikes for a show but at this point we didn't know Abba were reforming. So then when they announced the details about the avatar concert this year it all made sense. If you look closely at Frida in the video near the end of the song you can also see the face of her avatar appear as well and it did freak me out a bit when i seen it. Looking forward to your reactions to their other new songs... ✨✨✨ABBA✨✨✨

I may be a 55 year old man but will freely admit I too squealed like a girl when I heard they were coming out with new music and and an album. 5 days and counting.

Hello, i know only your Nightwish/ Floor reactions. And now, i see you do ABBA. Great reaction to a wonderfull Song again.🤘 greetings from Northern Germany

Enjoyed your reaction ! ....so excited for Friday Nov. 5th for the release of their new album VOYAGE...will be listening to it everyday for a wile !

You guys are fantastic! Gosh yous had me laughing😅and you didnt know that you were watching abbas abbatars😅😅😅😅

Thanks for the reaction. There's so many of these reactions were I doubt they even know who ABBA is. It's good to see ones like this done by fans. By the time this song dropped it had been put off for so long I really had doubt's. But they couldn't have made a better comback song. They are still truly an amazing band. Thanks again.

Y'know, I had a lot of time for this track to percolate in my mind, but it's now concrete in my mind as an absolute ABBA classic. Wonderfully wistful, melancholic and very moving. Don't Shut Me Down is brilliant as well - the rest of the album is much more low key though and slightly disappointing, but it doesn't matter, after 40 years, we've got two new instant classic tracks to add to their legacy

Love your positive energy and comments! Greetings from Sweden! :-)

Our Norwegian gem Sissel Kyrkjebø with the ABBA song «Like an angel passing through my room» might interest you. From a concert with the Tabernacel choir . You might also find Aurora’s cover of Leonard Cohen «Famous blue raincoat» interesting

Can't wait for your reactions to Don't Shut Me Down and Just A Notion.

Nice to see your reactions, very loving and respectful.

Thank you for another great video reaction!🌷🌷🌷🌷 I can't believe you have not reacted to their new song "Don't shut me down" yet?!😃 Please do😙❤

I was like 12 when I went to my first-ever live music concert. It was ABBA and it was ABBA-mania in Australia (where some of this old footage comes from). I was always attracted to blondes until via their music videos little me fell in love with Anni-Frid ;)

Just a Notion

Well worth the wait, guys. Enjoyed that 👍🏻 Can't wait for more Hear it's is going to be CGI clowns in the next one 😝😝😝

Love ABBA

If there is an Academy Award for best music video this will be the winner.

Don't shut me down has a dancing queen vibe and Just a Notion sounds like it came out during the time they had Waterloo out.

I was also thinking digital versions of themselves was a bit sad and weird, that it would lose it's meaning, but i changed my mind when i saw that the actual 4 members had 160 cameras film and capture every little motion so it still feels like its them and just a CGI hologram.

Have you been to the concert in London? If not, I heartily recommend it! It's a great experience!

abba is magic

There is a video of "Don't Shut Me Down" on which you can see the musicians as they look today and which also shows pictures of the production of the "Abbatars".

Sigh... the best is yet to come with the new album. We'll miss them when they're gone.

Thanks Im Fan.

Abbadabadoo !!!!!

Finnish band. BATTLE BEAST - Master Of Illusion official music video 2021. NOORA LOUHIMO excellent great voice.

I wish You could do a reaction on Dont shut me down. Love you Ginger and Mike. ❤️

They have in an interview in Swedish television explained why they made the decision to go with ABBAtars. No one wants to see 70+ years members of a Discoband. They said. My guess is also that this prevents touring if anyone of them has an issue with that. Health- or mental that is. Couse touring would come in high demand if they performed live. Much Love 💙💛💙

Yes ABBA pull your emotion out

So pleased you got it unblocked. I really enjoy your reactions. Did you notice @10:08 once you started talking about the dead actor, a little translucent orb like object appears right in front of you and travels upwards. Some people say that’s a sign of a ghost (if you believe in that kind of thing) Happy Halloween 🎃

Frida is ABBA!

No it doesnt break any new ground! Wasnt suppose to. You either like the sound of the band or you dont. I personally was blown away by how wonderful the musical arrangements were on many of the songs and how wonderful a couple of 70 plus year old women can still sound together.

I thought that was very good. You mentioned history, this is another type of history. Sabaton released a new video, 'Christmas Truce' about the Truce' during world war 1. It is very good. And also Epica is releasing ' Kingdom of Heaven part 3' from the Omega live concert on 11/3.😃

The FOURTH biggest selling musical act in HISTORY. Only Michael Jackson, The Beatles and Elvis Presley have sold more than ABBA!

It’s George Lucas film New Technology the one used for the ABBAtars

Now react to the second song ” Dont shut me down” with Agnetha on vocals

0:03 Lol

Welcome to the party. I think there’s still some food left.

Waltari feat Marko Hietala - Below Zero 2021. documentary music video.

When are you gonna do a reaction to "Dont shut me down"? Love your reaction! 😍

Three is 3 out now....🇸🇪

Hello Mike & Ginger. Listen to Thriller with Dirty Loops & Cory Wong. Regards: Lasse from Sweden

It IS the first track on the album...

9:55: Peter Cushing...

yawee, ABBA, the light.

I would like to suggest Angelina Jordan I'd Rather Go Blind

You can't please all the people all the time. All you can do is believe in yourself and do what you think is right for you. Such an aknowledgement can only come with maturity. ABBA have done that. They are not doing it for the money or commecrial popularity, but for the joy of making music. They have nothing to prove.

Hearing a new ABBA song is such a weird feeling. Staying in Sweden, but moving from pop to doom metal, I hope you guys will react some more Draconian in the future! My suggestion: Rivers Between Us kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsimnNpy2qu8oZc.html

When you guys do ABBA,Im back here,unfortunately,your other stuff didnt interest me much here for many months here...but when you do ABBA,I know the reaction is going to be good,because you have the best material to work with...I do like you guys bantering and so,but it still must be music I enjoy to enjoy the reaction video,and here it is,here it goes, ABBA, I still have faith in you.....

Hey! Will you be reacting to the album?

No reaction to Don't shut me down??

Agnetha O Frida Kan Sjunga Vad Som Helst, Upp Till Mottagaren.!!!!

love the message of the song but this one is for me the least catchy of the 3 singles. It drags a little long for my taste. Great videoclip though! Wish they made something like this for Don't shut me down and Just a notion

ABBA comeback and Angelina Jordan what else could we ask for maybe Diana A.

You say you like abba, but only one song from the new album.?

Listen to don't shut me down. Classic Abba. This one is to slow and drags on.

Heard two from latest LP. Meh. This one has a very Christian Rock vibe.
