STOCKHOLM. Legendary Swedish pop group ABBA released a new album called Voyage on Friday after four decades. In addition, he is preparing a digital concert for his fans in London, where he will present his holograms, the AFP agency informed.

The name ABBA is an acronym for the names of its members – Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid. The band disbanded in 1982, a year after releasing their last album, The Visitors, and have not been in music since.

After many years of speculation and various indications, ABBA finally announced in September this year that it had reunited and released a new album. On this occasion, she also released two new songs – I Still Have Faith in You and Don’t Shut Me Down.

Digital concert and holograms

They released their new album Voyage at midnight from Thursday to Friday in various time zones. There are ten songs on it and that’s not all the band has prepared for their fans, notes AFP.

At a digital concert scheduled for May 2022, ABBA plans to present its digital avatars, which it called ABBAtars. These will be holograms to show the members of the group as they looked in 1979.

These digital avatars are the result of a multi-year project in which the group collaborated with Star Wars director George Lucas, a company producing special effects.
