So...the singers have been exchanged, but the writers/producers are the same...and here is the first Ace of Base single since 2002.

and here is the look of the new lineup:

Thoughts?

You mean the guys are the same? I know the blonde shyed away from the spotlight and started showing up less and less to the point of leaving, but I didn't get that from the brunette. I thought they where siblings (except for one of the guys).

All of that is true. There are conflicting stories as to what actually happened, but it was bitter...that much is certain. The brunette (Jenny Berggren) has a solo album coming out September 15. The first single for that is here

What happened the other two female leads- Jenny and her sister? Did they leave the group? Seems like the two guys are there.

Not sure about the brunette but by the point of their "Cruel Summer" album/single, the bonde kept going more and more into the background (to the point where she wanted to be a background singer and I don't think she particpated in interviews). I heard something about a stalker which might be the reason she wanted out. At ont point, she was totally phased out. The brunette might have just left to go solo...I wonder if she knew this was going to happen, though? She probably figured they would disband or start a new group.....using the group's name might have some legal issues.

I liked them although all their singles sounded the same... they had a good formula... and since Lady Gaga ripped their sound off completely for 'Alejandro' they might as well make a comeback
