BIOGRAPHY OF ANNI-FRID LYNGSTAD

Anni-Frid Synni, Dowager Princess Reuss of Plauen is a Swedish singer, songwriter and environmentalist of Norwegian descent. She is best known as one of the lead singers of the Swedish pop group ABBA.

Anni-Frid Synni Lyngstad, better known simply as Frida, was born on November 15, 1945 in Ballangen outside Narvik, Norway. Her father was Alfred Haase, a German soldier, and her mother, Synni Lyngstad, was a Norwegian teenager. Frida’s father left Norway before Frida was born and is said to have disappeared when his ship was sunk on the way back to Germany.

18 months after Frida was born, she moved to Sweden with her grandmother, Agny. Synni soon joined them, but tragically, less than two years after Frida was born, her mother passed away. Frida grew up with her grandmother in Torshälla, just outside the town of Eskilstuna.

At the age of 11, she made her stage debut at a Red Cross charity event. Two years later, she started working as an underage singer in a dance group and performed with different groups for a decade. She met her first husband, Ragnar Fredriksson, in 1961. Together they had two children: Hans, born in 1963, and Lise-Lotte, born in 1967.

On September 3, 1967, Frida won a talent contest in Stockholm. Immediately after her victory, she appeared on national television singing her winning song. Soon after, Frida signed with EMI records.

Frida didn’t have much commercial success as a recording artist until the early 70s, but she was a fairly well-known performing artist. In 1970, she took part in a cabaret show with her fiancé, Benny Andersson, with Björn Ulvaeus and his fiancée, Agnetha Fältskog.

From 1972 and through the following decade, Frida was mainly occupied with her work with ABBA, although she released the Swedish-language solo album Frida ensam (‘Frida Alone’) in 1975. During the ABBA years, Frida also reunited with her father Alfred Haase, whom she came into contact with via the German pop magazine Bravo.ary 1982 Frida began recording her first English solo album Something’s Going On, produced by Phil Collins. This was followed by the 1984 album Shine, produced by Steve Lillywhite. But then Frida withdrew from the public for several years. In the early 1990s, she devoted most of her time to environmental issues, but in 1996 she returned with the Swedish-language album Djupa andetag (“Deep Breaths”). This remains Frida’s last solo album to date.

Today, she leads a low-key life, devoting herself to charitable works. However, Frida drew inspiration from records by other artists: her last recording was the lead vocals for the song ‘The Sun Will Shine Again’, included on former keyboardist Jon Lord’s 2004 album Beyond The Notes. .

In 2005, her albums for Polar Music (Frida ensam, Something’s Going On and Shine) were reissued with bonus tracks. Along with an expanded edition of Djupa andetag, the albums were also included in the Frida 4xCD 1xDVD box set, which included a DVD of promotional clips, TV appearances and a brand new Frida interview.

2018 ABBA MEETING: WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE NOW? BJORN, BENNY, AGNETHA AND ANNI-FRID RETURN

Updated: Apr 27, 2018

ABBA has set the world on fire with the announcement of new music being released for the first time in 35 years.

The quartet’s two new songs are due out later this year, after reuniting Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad in the studio.

They said in a statement: “The decision to move forward with the exciting ABBA Avatar Tour project has had an unintended consequence.

“The four of us felt that after about 35 years it might be fun to join forces again and get into the recording studio.

“That’s what we did. And it was as if time had stopped and we had only gone on a short vacation. An extremely joyful experience! »

They continued: “This has resulted in two new songs and one of them I Still Have Faith In You will be performed by our own digitals in a special produced by NBC and the BBC and set to air in December.

“We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good.

The statement – posted on the band’s Instagram – was endorsed by all four members and released today from Stockholm, Sweden.

The quartet sold hundreds of millions of records during their lifetime together and are firmly established as one of the best-selling musical artists of all time.

They won the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK, from the Brighton Dome, in 1974, and their hits inspired West End phenomenon Mamma Mia! – which became a record film.

Its sequel – Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again – is expected this summer.

News of their new material saw them shoot up the UK Twitter trending list, even following the announcement of the Royal Baby name.

However, they are still reluctant to perform together.
