What If Prince Wrote/Co-wrote A Song With ABBA? Could This Alliance Work?

I'm dreaming again. But it's worth thinking about.

...but what if Prince could talk them into it. It just once song we're talking about. Also, it give a lot of fans (old-school & today's generation alike) to see if ABBA can still do it on stage....with Prince as a supporter at that.

Much as I love them both, I don't think it could happen. Because Prince's music is more jam-based these days, while ABBA used very specific arrangements. It's the same reason he couldn't do a song with, say, Journey or ELO.

Only if the collaboration was produced by Timbaland & included a rap solo by Ludacris.

They were offered some unGodly amount of money several years ago to reunite and tour. They turned that down, so I highly doubt they're gonna reunite to do ONE song, especially one song with Prince.

Now, if they would've done something in the early 80s, that might've been cool.

I kinda had a little crush on Frida wink

I don't really see a meeting of the minds here.

Love both acts, but I don't think there is much common ground.

Yes, it's true.

Some multi-billionarie wanted to pay a total of $1 billion for ABBA to have a reunion album AND reunion tour. All 4 member turn down the offer.

No way in hell I would have turn down that kind of money so easily!
cool

The fashion statement is a great place to start.
