Vocal Coach Reacts: ABBA 2 New Songs 'I Still Have Faith In You' and 'Don't Shut Me Down'

My original edit of this got blocked, all 15 minutes 😬 so I managed to get these 8 mins online and hopefully this can stay up! I love these new ABBA songs. Which one is your favourite out of the 2?

Im a 53 year old man wasn’t a big ABBA fan as a kid, but boy did this make me feel nostalgic. And yes, I was welling up. The harmonies especially in I still have faith in you where amazing.

Abba have delivered just when the world needed it most. Agnetha and Anni-Frid's vocals are superb, as strong as ever, perfectly controlled ... pure class. Love both songs, omg goose bumps so emotional. Hungry for more cannot wait for the release of their album. 🎼🎶🎤💃🌟

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

As a life long Abba-fan, I still can`t believe this is actually happening. Hearing those voices again, sounding amazing as always. And the fact that their approach to singing those harmonies is a little more loose only makes it better. They are older now, it doesn`t have to be just so. They are a little more laid back, maybe. And it`s okay. How can these ladies sound that good at that age? The lyrics are as brilliant as ever. Many layers one can find hiding in them. Beautiful.

[@Labi2nite]

I loved ABBA and I grew up listening to their music. When I listened to "I still have faith in me" with the instrumental along with the lyrics. I literally had tears. It brought back memories of my childhood/adolescent with their music. This really hit the spot in my heart. I love the lyrics on "Dont shut me down" with a slight disco vibes.. Worth listening to both of them! I even paid the pre-ordered CD album. I am looking forward to hearing more songs when it comes in the mail!! And they are coming to Clearwater!! *(screaming)* I will get tickets this week before they are sold out! THEY are NOT forgotten.. in fact, the World misses ABBA!!

ABBA is a league of its own. You can't compare them with any band. Their harmonies are majestic and the production is always excellent. When someone copies them, it is always a lesser version and almost like a perversion of them.

One thing that is universal with all the reactions I've seen on KZbin and in person, including myself, is the emotion it brings out of all sorts of people, young, old, rockers, whatever. Eyes mist up and joy comes to your heart. ABBA is universal.

[@CMHussmusic]

These songs are brilliantly crafted and performed. They start exactly where they should and they give closure to the past and hope for the future. As a musician and composer, I adore ABBA. So amazingly talented and brave. Who picks up right where they left off 40 years earlier?! Only ABBA. Simply.the.best!!!

[@apfelsnutz]

Technically the best review... i played the concert ABBA gave when they came to Holland in '75 or '76 as an extra musician, and was amazed immediately !!! Loved them ever since... It is a joy to see them come back electronically, like a step into the future ! Your tears, and those of the world, are tears of joy on recovery of music we all thought was ended. God bless ABBA, and those of you who still have Faith in Goodness of intent. ...

I remember the first time I saw ABBA. I had just started my trade training in the Australian Air Force in Melbourne at Laverton. I was 18 years old and went to Asco on the base. Asco was an on base store that sold everything from televisions to meat pies. Walked in and saw ABBA on the screen of this tv for sale singing Waterloo. Has been love ever since. I’m now 64 and can’t wait to get to London next year to see them in virtual concert.

[@bobbyyounger7632]

ABBA always had good timing ! Great comeback, just when the planet needs it the most

[@minounah]

They were very clever to address the possible criticisms they might receive for such a daring comeback within the lyrics. As in, "Yes, we are older but listen to us!!" Their voices are definitely a different quality but the essence and beauty comes through. I'm delighted we can embrace music from a band who is not airbrushed 20 somethings. Beautiful evolution for humanity.

These two songs are wonderful 😭 and so sentimental. I'm over the moon!

[@tim1964x]

I made the same comment below on the Abba video itself, but I must say, I loved this reaction video as well - your reaction to the first song was pretty much how I reacted to both songs! === I've listened to these two new songs a few times now. I get emotional every time. I loved Abba all those decades ago, back in my teens. Now, in my mid-50s, I find myself with tears in my eyes listening to these new ones now. It is wonderful. How is music able to do this? It is more that just music however, it is the flood of nostalgia that comes with it, and the feelings associated with another time in our lives, listening to something we loved at that time, and not expecting to ever be hit that way again. At least, that is my attempt to explain what I struggle to put into words. Thank you, Anni-Frid, Benny, Bjorn and Agnetha.

[@taniamans2026]

Its gonna be a major comeback nostalgic grand slam!!! Every person alive now... Have a memory that has been made on or with a ABBA song...

THAT IS WHAT MAKES ABBA UNDIYING!!!

Oh most definitely "Don't Shut Me Down", the first time I heard it ...when the girls voices came together in the pre-chorus, it literally made me cry...there is just something about Agnetha and Frida singing together that just blends perfectly...and when you hear them, you instantly ALWAYS say, ohhh that's ABBA! It is just a unique and powerful sound that is pop music at it's finest!

Wow, so glad I found this reaction, Nina! I've watched dozens of reactions to both new ABBA songs now but yours and Joe Gautrey's are easily the best. With your vocal expertise and his experience as a music producer, I spotted SO much more about these songs.

I cried too, even though I am a 46 year old man. I listened to the songs many times and cried many times. These are emotional songs. Both songs are emotional, just different tempos. My Mom and Dad was huge ABBA fan at my childhood. My Mom always sang ABBA songs at home. My Dad was a musician and I became a bassist 30 years ago. I'm still active musician. This songs give me my childhood, lot of memories. My parents has passed away. Now I'm alone without them. The music is amazing, somethimes like an elixir. ABBA is a modern "classical", like Mozart or Beethoven. Sorry about my English, I'm an Hungarian old guy.

[@SirVicc]

Yup, ABBA music was shared across generations.

[@roberta5506]

The first one that got me when I listened on Spotify was “don’t shut me down” because it’s a little simpler (even if not even the simple songs with ABBA are too simple). Then I went to the videos and felt so geeky, crying, smiling, laughing, all at the same time when I listened to “I still have faith in you”. My favorite was still “don’t shut me down “ tho, but “Do I have it in me” has been growing on me ever since, and now I can’t stop listening to it! 😅 I agree with what was said about the arrangements. They are so perfectly thought through. All the small things. The theme from “Do I have it in me” showing up over and over, in both lead vocals, backing vocals, guitars, whistles, strings aso. It gets the theme line to get literally stuck in your head before the song is over. I think those are two masterpieces and even if none of the rest are half as good, they’re still gonna be good enough. This has got me to smile for days now. It’s incredible how music can affect the day! Thank you ABBA for that, and really good job @Nina_Schofield analyzing the two songs, best analyze this far!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

When writing just changing one note bringing it forwards or back can change the entire phrase. The smallest of changes can turn an average song into something wonderful. Abba are masterful in their writing and they use really nice chords that we never hear much in music anymore. Abba always sounded like a music theatre/pop band to me. They never tried to fit into any format or music style that was popular at any given time. They were always true to themselves and allowed themselves to sound as they naturally were. It's such a relief they haven't tried to modernise Abba or attempt to sound 'current'. I am sure they could pull that off no problems but remaining true to themselves is the right choice.

[@doncoleoni1]

Hello Nina, I wouldn’t say I was a huge fan of ABBA but I do have ‘ABBA Gold’ and I think it’s an excellent album; I remember them from about 1977 onwards. I thought the video to ‘I Still Have Faith In You’ was really nostalgic and I can see why it would be emotional. The song itself is a little bit mawkish but having said that I still like it. The vocals are really good despite their voices having aged. The second song ‘Don’t Shut Me Down’ is another good song although I have had to listen to both a few times to like them. I’m not sure which one I like more but I could happily listen to both of them again. One last thing, I think it is a shame that KZbin are blocking videos like yours; presumably for Copyright infringement. It is clear that you are not trying to pass off ABBA’s music as your own work. You are simply reviewing the music from a technical perspective; which you do really well. When I heard ABBA’s new songs and heard the vocal performance I did wonder how a vocal coach would react to it. As I said I thought the vocals were fine and I’m glad you think so too. Anyway Nina, despite what KZbin do keep up the good work.

[@HughJaxident67]

I'm a life long ABBA fan having listened to them since the mid-70's and always harboured the diminishing hope they would write more music. For me, listening to these tracks during the launch event was extremely poignant and emotional, however, It amazes me how so many people have expressed such similar emotions when hearing this new ABBA music, even those who are way too young to have experienced it first time around. I think this tells us all we need to know about this wonderful band, that they appeal to all generations. Loved your reaction and the emotion it evoked in you.

[@jsmorales]

I was born a little after their split and I've known their most famous songs forever, but only really started actively listening to them in my late 20s. So I'm not an actual fan, but I do enjoy their music a lot (and obviously I've dance to Dancing Queen a thousand times). That being said, listening to the new songs has been emotional and moving for me as well and I often reflect on how extremely exciting it must have been for the true fans who've followed Abba since their heyday. I'm excited for them/you all!

[@HughJaxident67]

@@jsmorales I think that's the 'take away' from this - I've seen other big groups reform and write new music through the years but it's never really generated an emotional response in me like this has. It genuinely surprised me to suddenly be aware my eyes were watering up when I heard this new music and now I'm seeing similar responses from reaction videos from all age groups. It's remarkable how much impact these four Swedes have on everyone.
