She is best known as one of the founding members and lead singers of the Swedish pop band ABBA. Frida recorded two albums after ABBA split up in the early 1980’s: ’Something’s Going On’ in 1982 and ’Shine’ in 1984. ’Shine’ features songwriting contributions from musicians such as Stuart Adamson, Kirsty MacColl, Simon Climie (of Climie Fisher fame), and Pete Glenister – Alison Moyet’s co-writer and producer. The Shine album is also unique as it saw the debut of Lyngstad as a songwriter in both “Don’t Do It“ and “That’s Tough“, the latter also features her son Hans Fredriksson as co-writer. (Frida also wrote “I Don’t Wanna Be Alone“ during this period). The track “Slowly“ was written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of
