Review

Get ready to boogie! ABBA’s sixth studio album, "Voulez-Vous," dropped in 1979 and it's an iconic blend of their signature style and the shimmering disco vibes of the era. The title track "Voulez-Vous" is a disco dream, bursting with energy, while tracks like "Does Your Mother Know" and "Angeleyes" keep the groove going strong. It’s like a time machine to the disco age!

But hold on, this album isn't all about the dance floor. Ballads like "Chiquitita" and "I Have a Dream" show off ABBA's skill in creating heartfelt and touching tunes. The lush orchestrations, thanks to talents like Rutger Gunnarsson on strings and Malando Gassama on percussion, elevate these tracks to another level. Despite a rocky start, the group found their groove, recording the majority of the album at their swanky new Polar Studios in Stockholm.

With dazzling success, "Voulez-Vous" topped charts across Europe and hit the top 10 in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia, not to mention making a solid impression in the US. The album cover, snapped at Alexandra's night club in Stockholm, is a fab nod to its disco essence. Plus, the 2010 deluxe edition reissue treats fans with additional gems like "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" and "Lovelight."

In a nutshell, "Voulez-Vous" is an essential part of ABBA's legacy, blending the irresistible disco beat with the band’s timeless charm. 💃🕺 - Melody
