Within the pages of this petite volume lies a singular gem: an exclusive interview with ABBA’s Benny Andersson, first after a break of twenty-six years. In this intimate conversation with Swani Zubayeer, Prof. Andersson elaborates on his musical upbringing in Stockholm to the chance formation of ABBA, and candidly recounts pivotal moments, including his debut composition and the band’s meteoric rise to stardom.
The 2004 interview also delves into profound insights regarding his creative process, musical influences, and the significance of originality and cultural heritage in artistic expression.
Being published for the first time after two decades, Prof. Andersson’s observations resonate with prophetic wisdom in today’s music landscape.
