4.0 out of 5 stars Even solo they are good, but not as great when they ABBA, October 29, 2001

By	John DePrisco (Wilmington, Delaware United States) - See all my reviews

Somewhere near the end of ABBA's decade long run Anni-Frid became Frida. It neither affected her wonderful singing nor the group's name. This album features solo songs by the ladies of ABBA, Angetha and Anni-Frid (or Frida if you prefer). The tracks are presented with Agnetha and Frida in alternating songs beginning and ending with Agnetha. They are all good but somehow lack a little of the quality as when they sang together. As some have already noted Agnetha's solos are of the slow variety with two exceptions: "I Won't Let You Go", which I feel is the best track on this album, and "The Heat Is On" with a calypso flavor, are more up tempo than her other tracks. Even so, her soprano voice is a pleasure to listen to. As for Frida, I always thought her songs with ABBA generated a few more goose bumps than when Agnetha sang solo with Frida providing some backup. This album clearly shows the reason why. Her solo performances on this album are great.

As history has shown neither had the same strong career as when they were together as ABBA. But this album displays their individual solo talents and is well worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars Different But Good, June 6, 2004

By	Big John (The Wish) - See all my reviews

I guess I was expecting the "ABBA" sound when I bought this and it took a few times through to begin to appreciate the songs for themselves. The singing styles are a bit different than what you might expect, but the voices are there. Bottom line is that these two ladies can flat out sing. I noticed that other reviewers seem to prefer one over the other and that's fine. Remember though, that without one or the other they wouldn't have been ABBA to begin with. Each brings a certain flavor to this disc and I am enjoying it. If you were (and still are) an ABBA fan, this CD is well worth a listen. Just be prepared to give it time to grow on you. You'll be happy you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Fantastic!!!, September 27, 1999

By A Customer

The best of Frida and Agnetha's post ABBA solo work is well documented on this compilation.The cd features Frida's big hit singles,'I know there's something going on','To turn the stone' and 'Shine',and Agnetha's big hit singles 'Wrap yuor arms around me' and 'The heat is on'.The album features many rare b-side tracks that have never appeared on cd before.An album which contains many styles,including rock,dance and ballad,which makes for plesant listening.Buy it today! It's a lot different to the work they did with ABBA.
