About The Song
For many of us, their music served as the soundtrack to our younger years, soundtracking everything from carefree summer days to late-night dance parties. But after disbanding in the early 80s, devoted fans were left with a bittersweet nostalgia, cherishing their ABBA collections and yearning for a return to that era of pure pop perfection.
Well, hold onto your dancing shoes, music lovers! Because in 2021, ABBA surprised the world with a brand new album titled Voyage, and along with it came the release of a single that sent shivers down the spines of longtime fans: “Just a Notion”.
This song wasn’t entirely new, however. Believe it or not, “Just a Notion” was actually written and recorded way back in 1978 during the sessions for their album Voulez-Vous. While the song progressed beyond the demo stage, the band, particularly Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, weren’t quite satisfied with the final product. They deemed it “unmixable” and shelved it for over four decades.
Fast forward to 2021, and with the help of modern technology, “Just a Notion” was finally given the chance to shine. The song was reworked and polished, emerging with a renewed vibrancy that captured the essence of classic ABBA while incorporating a touch of contemporary pop sensibility.
The result? A delightful trip down memory lane for veteran fans, and a chance for a new generation to discover the magic of ABBA. “Just a Notion” perfectly encapsulates everything we loved about this iconic group: the soaring vocals, the infectious melody, and the sheer joy of music. So, dust off your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let “Just a Notion” transport you back to a time of pure pop bliss.
