ABBA – Voulez-Vous [1979]
ABBA Voulez-Vous Track List
Voulez-Vous is the sixth, legendary album, released at the peak of the popularity of disco in music. The fruit of the joint creativity of ABBA, who worked on their brainchild for a year. To create it, the group specially goes to the Bahamas and, impressed by what they saw and heard, writes a significant part of the record, different from the previous pop sound. In March 1979, the label Polar Music showed the world a completely new dance sound, after which the group immediately took off on the first place of the charts in seven European countries. The team goes on a big tour of Europe and North America. Hopes for the conquest of the overseas audience were destroyed before our eyes – 19th place in the North American Billboard and about $ 200,000 loss – all that the Swedish team achieved. However, the European tour calmed the hearts of the winners of Eurovision 74, people greeted them warmly and enthusiastically. For a television shoot at the Wembley Arena alone, a British agency offered £ 300,000. The album "Voulez-vouz" gave a second wind to the group. To the question in his own song “Voulez-vous? Take it now or leave it? ”(What do you want? Take it now or leave it forever?) ABBA answers in word and deed.
