The Swedish pop group released their last studio album, Voyage, back in 2021

ABBA star Agnetha Fältskog, 73, is reportedly set to release her first solo album in over a decade soon.

The Swede has put pen to paper on a new deal with record label giants BMG, The Sun has reported.


The deal comes just two years after she reunited with ABBA bandmates Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad for their last album.

Their album Voyage raked in an incredible 2.5million sales and even bagged five Grammy nominations.

But now, Fältskog is supposedly set to go out on her own, something she cryptically alluded to on Instagram yesterday.

She posted a cryptic clip on Instagram on Thursday alongside the caption: "Where Do We Go From Here?"

In the clip, the words from the caption appear one by one in gold lettering across a black and white background.

Inevitably, it didn't take long for fans to comment on the post, with many thinking it was the singer's way of marking her solo comeback.

One fan replied: "The queen is back," followed by a pair of eye emojis.

While a second weighed in: "AGNETHA!! HELLO!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!"

And a third remarked: "Comeback? The Queen have never been gone. She is Always with us."

Meanwhile, a fourth added: "I don't even know what's this all about, but I'm already crying happy and emotive tears," followed by a series of love heart emojis.

And music insider has seemingly confirmed fans' predictions as they told The Sun: "Agnetha loved being back in the studio with Abba and it inspired her to relaunch her solo career.

"She has been in regular contact for months with the team at BMG in London and they have helped develop her new sound.

"After a long time working on new music, there is finally a body of work which she loves and which is ready for release."

BMG already boast a wealth of chart-topping talents on its books, according to its website.

It lists the likes of Kylie Minogure, Cypress Hill, Louis Tomlinson, George Ezra and Dido among its clients.
