4.0 out of 5 stars For Hard Core ABBA and Agnetha Fans Only, May 29, 2002

By

This review is from: My Love My Life (Audio CD)

Agnetha has always been my favorite member of ABBA. Without a doubt, it is her I watch everytime I see clips of the group performing. Over the years, so much has been written about Benny and Bjorn's composing before, during and after ABBA that no one seems to remember what a talented songwriter Agnetha was early on in her career. Arguably, her early songs were better crafted than Benny & Bjorn's early efforts like "She's My Kind Of Girl" and "Hej Gamle Man." The first disc takes us through most of her pre-ABBA days and shows just how quickly her songwriting a voice developed. If you love Agnetha's voice, I mean really love it like I do, the fact that you may not happen to speak Swedish will not impair your enjoyment of this music. Heck, after a few listens, you may even start to sing along with the chorus of "Jag Var Sa Kar!" The second disc takes us through her final Swedish solo work before ABBA took off. One highlight is the 1979 return to solo writing that she did for a compilation of her hits called "Nar Du Tar Mej I Din Famn." If she had released the English version of this song (available on "That's Me-Greatest Hits" called "The Queen Of Hearts") with slightly better lyrics, Agnetha may have had an international hit on her hands. The rest of the second disc touches on ABBA highlights, and highlights of her post ABBA solo career in the 1980's. This album made me appreciate the talent that Agnetha posesses. She remains one of my all time favorite singers. Thankfully, she may be recording a new album late in 2002, demo recordings have already been made. So if you like "My Love, My Life," you'll want to keep your eyes open for her next project!

5.0 out of 5 stars A closer look at one of ABBA's leading ladies, Agnetha..., January 5, 2002

This compilation will most likely be more enjoyed by avid ABBA fans like myself rather than the novice listener. Those of you who know, Agnetha (pronounced Ahn-yay-tah)is the beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed siren that led one of the most popular recording groups in music history. Here, we peek into the vaults of her solo work, which in my opinion showcase her exceptional vocal texture and emotion. While she may not have the range of, say, Ella Fitzgerald or Aretha Franklin, she has a unique sound and a soul that befits any wonderful female vocalist. My personal favorite of this set is the song "Utan Dej Mitt Liv Gar Vidare". This ballad, while in Swedish, is arranged in a style not unlike Patsy Cline's "Crazy". I don't know what she is saying, but it sounds lovely to me! In summation, there are too many great songs here to write about. If you are a fan of ABBA or just want to listen to music in a foreign language, then this is just for you. I promise you will not be disappointed. I only write reviews on items that I know firsthand are good and this is definitely one of my personal favorites. If you don't beleive me, just read my review of "ABBA - The Definitive Collection". I love you Agnetha!

4.0 out of 5 stars From the very start till the end of Agnetha's carrer, November 28, 1999

Agnetha always select the musics for her "the best" albums. So, there are no complete ones yet. But in this one, there are many swedish songs and they're great. If you already have the "That's me: Greatest hits collection", buy this one and you'll have almost all Agnetha's musics.
