Swedish pop group finally releases singles “I Still Have Faith In You” and “Don’t Shut Me Down”

After years of delay and teasing on social media, ABBA have officially reunited, announcing the new album Voyage out November 6th.

Although the Swedish pop group sang “Me and I” at a private gala in 2016 — their first time performing since 1986 — this marks their first time officially reuniting in 40 years. Ahead of the release, they dropped the reflective ballad “I Still Have Faith In You” and the disco gem “Don’t Shut Me Down.”

In addition, ABBA will also perform a digital concert on May 27th, 2022 — which they first announced in 2016. Made through George Lucas’ Industry Light & Magic, Abba Voyage will take place at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park’s arena in London. General tickets are available on September 7th.

“It’s been a while since we made music together,” the band said in a statement. “Almost 40 years, actually. We took a break in the spring of 1982 and now we’ve decided it’s time to end it. They say it’s foolhardy to wait more than 40 years between albums, so we’ve recorded a follow-up to The Visitors. We simply call it Voyage and we’re truly sailing in uncharted waters.”

“It’s hard to say what’s been the most joyful thing for me with this project,” Andersson said. “If it’s the involvement in creating the concert together with everyone or being back in the studio together again after 40 years. I think hearing Frida and Agnetha singing again is hard to beat.” Added Anni-Frid Lyngstad: “Those first sessions back in 2018 were such fun, and when Benny called and asked if I’d consider singing some more I jumped  at  it!”

NLE Choppa fires back at NBA Ben 10 and the mothers of his children on the confrontational new track “Set The Record Straight,” delivering a tense, aggressive performance. On the song, he confronts rumors about his sexuality pushed by his children’s mothers and responds to claims that he has been absent as a father. Set against a stark piano loop and a gritty trap backdrop, Choppa unloads on critics and rivals, keeping his cadence controlled before switching into quicker bursts. While the approach does not break new ground for him, it should land well with listeners who ride for his style. Alongside “Set The Record Straight,” Choppa also released "Shotta Flow 8."

Release Date: January 29, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Quotable Lyrics from Set The Record Straight

If I pull my strap and you pull a phone out then you p***y,
Harris County Jail almost had me in central booking,
Call a spade for a spade, you need insurance for police,
Crackin' 4's with this K, I told Lil Trey, ''Pass me my ski''
We can dirty up, I'm in the field cleated up,
I'm back and I'on give a f**k, bounced out the car and said, ''What up?''
Dead beat, who? Me and my kids super glue,
We got h*es tryna be mamas, that's the problem, damn fool
