Speaking to the BBC Fältskog revealed that she had sung during her break from recording,
“It was nine or 10 years since I’d sung, so I didn’t know if (my voice) worked. I said from the beginning, ‘If it sounds old I don’t want to do this,” she said, “I never thought I would sing again, but when I heard the first three songs I couldn’t say no.”
The new album ‘A’ will be released on May 10. Check out the first single ‘When You Really Love Me’ below.
