                           Back on the radio / Past forever.

Agnetha was the blond female fronting ABBA several decades ago and this
is her first album released officially since then. Her voice is distinctive
and unforgettable especially when joining the chorus behind her. We
remember it so well. The songs are pleasant and it will be interesting to
see if this CD climbs the charts. It does not light my fire, but then, lots
of music these days does not hit the spot....so why not Agnetha. ***.
