Did you grow up with Abba? As soon as I heard her singing I remembered her voice, it takes me back to those teen years.  It still sounds wonderful. Light, crisp, and clear. She sings with emotion and you can see her words are sincere. Maybe you remember another one of her songs: Waterloo in 1974. She had her first number 1 single at age 18, her journey with ABBA, and now is back singing. I think ABBA fans are glad to have her back...
