4.0 out of 5 stars The Return of an Artist, November 9, 2005

By	Regis Fox (New York, New York) - See all my reviews

I was very excited and intrigued to discover that Agnetha Faltskog had decided to release a new album. Particularly after her "self-exile" of several years from the world at large. She had made such an important and worthwhile contribution to the world of music as a member of ABBA. It was an unfortunate reality that her previous solo works were not altogether strong or even overly interesting releases. In my opinion though, this latest album (My Colouring Book) redeems all of Ms. Faltskog's post-ABBA endeavors. Here you will find a mature and confident songtress still in complete artistic control of her nothing-less-than-glorious capabilities. She sounds GREAT. The choices of songs and in fact, her dedication to all the artists that inspired her early on, is more than appropriate. This is EXACTLY the kind of album she should be producing at this time of her life. The Lady has paid her dues and done more than enough for her adoring fans. Now she need do nothing more than record an album of songs simply because she can. And beautifully too. The dance remix singles are fun also, and I hope they are being enjoyed in clubs all over the world. Really, the only thing that would have made this album as close to perfect as possible would have been a duet with Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad, the other half of the beautiful singing duo of ABBA.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN INSTANT MASTERPIECE! SIMPLE, NAKED, AND BEAUTIFUL!, March 28, 2004

By A Customer

Deliciously retro, yet current. THIS WOMAN CAN SING! I was lucky to hear this album before its release. Every song is a TREASURE! Delicate, fragile, expressive, with melodies from the heart (romantic, sweet, classic!) that songwriters do not write anymore these days. Apparently (from what I heard), these are the songs that inspired Miss Faltskog in her teenage years. The way she sings these songs is UNEXPLAINABLE. Her voice is NAKED, TRUE, HONEST! A great choice of songs. An album to last a lifetime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Agnetha "The voice of Abba" still have it, for sure., September 21, 2005

By	Kurt Olav Helle "Kurt Olav Experience" (Lonevåg, Osteroy Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It`s a candy king for you ears, if you like one of the voices from Abba: Agnetha Faltskog. It`s femenim soft rock, or shall i called it " smoothies" for your ears. This is easy listening. To easy sometimes, to give it 5 Stars. It opens with a song called The Colouring Book, a so so opener, but it realy kicks in gear with the Del Shannon oldie: Walk in the Room. Many artists have their version on this one. It`s a simple pop song, but Agnetha put her own signature on it, with respect to the original. There are not to much tempo upbeat songs on this CD, like the older Agnetha solo album songs like The Heat is on etc. But the good thing is that she do the cover songs as here own. The favourite is the new version of the Skeeter Davis hit: The End of the World. If she`s gonna do an another album put some more variation and up beat tempo on some of the covers, but hopefully it will come some new written songs for Agnetha. If some of the
ex Abba members read this, please put the band together and Agnetha will really 5 star shines again
