 Best Frida album August 23, 2008
MN (Venice, CA USA)
I just got the Frida Box Set a week ago. I listened to this album and thought it had many excellent catchy songs in it. The bonus tracks are remixes which also sound very good. I can't really decide which is my favorite but I would say if the song, Alla mina baesta ar, were in english, sung with Agnetha which I read that Frida originally picked her to do a duet with, but Agnetha declined because fears of any Abba reunion rumors, it would probably be a big hit world wide! It's still a very good song with Marie Fredriksson of Roxette though among so many others like Aelska mig alltid, Oegonen, Aeven en blomma, Hon fick som hon ville, and Lugna vatten. It also is very well produced and very nicely arranged! It has layers of instrumentals within each song which I love. Abba was great because it had this element of intricacy as well. Go buy it! You won't regret even in Swedish which of course you may not understand. Swedish is such a cool and cute language anyway so for me I don't mind it at all. I only regret for me that I didn't get this CD which has the beautiful pictures of Frida when she was oh..50? The box set I got doesn't really have all the pictures.
So catchy, I just keep listening February 3, 2008
Leigh-Ann Gerow (Las Vegas, NV)
My mp3 player may soon file a protest if I don't start to listen to a different album. Ever since this one arrived, I've been listening to it daily, inadvertently learning the lyrics, and humming the melodies. The songs are so catchy and upbeat that you won't even notice that they aren't in English. I know this is my favourite of all of Frida's solo albums, and really hope she'll get back into the studio one day.
Excellent!! March 9, 2007

This CD is Frida's best. It is a must for all ABBA fans. The best part is that it is recorded in Swedish. I believe artists sound better when they record in their native language.
Frida's masterpiece November 5, 2006

Don't believe the comments of a certain reviewer on here who bashes everything Frida ever recorded. I wonder why this reviewer keeps buying Frida's albums when he/she thinks they are all trash.
This album is without question Frida's ultimate achievement in her solo-career. Every single song on here is a jewel. The opening track "Alska mig alltid" is hauntingly beautiful and sets the tone for the rest of the album. Frida's voice is more beautiful and mature than ever and the arrangements are heavenly. The first single from the album "Aven en blomma" is a poignant song about personal growth. "Sista valsen med dig" is my personal favourite of the album. A lush ballad with beautiful string arrangements, heavy drums and Frida's intimate voice. "Kvinnor som springer" was co-written by Frida herself and is a modern dance-track. Frida can simply pull off any style. She is an allround singer.
And what's more is that all her albums have a personal touch, a statement of where she stands in life at that time. And that makes them timeless. This album received a scandinavian release only in 1996. Had it been recorded in english, I'm sure Frida would have made a succesful international comeback. But there is no need to understand swedish to enjoy this album. On the contrary, hearing Frida sing in swedish gives the album something extra that makes it even more personal. A true masterpiece.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed.
High Fidelity Indeed! June 28, 2006
Iain Gardiner (Sydney, Australia)
I love ABBA. Always loved Agnetha. Always loved Frida. Two very different voices that were used superbly together... and nobody was anybody's back-up singer!
In an interview once, Michael B Tretow, who was ABBA's Engineer, described Frida's voice as 'High Fidelity'. This album supports that description. The swedish lyrics enhance the description of her voice, as you are listening to what you can find and relate to in the tracks... so of course, there's THAT voice, teamed with some great melodies. 'Aven en Blomma' is a stand out track.... and it's nice to see and enjoy the video clip of the song on the cd as well. There's so much depth to enjoy here on this album. Swedish lyrics?.. no problem! Translations are easy to find on the net! Isn't it great to still be able to enjoy what made ABBA so great... The girls voices!!?.. and it wasn't just the music!
