Music reviews of I Stand Alone

Music Review: Agnetha does indeed STAND ALONE!
Rating: 5 Stars

Today's so called Divas have a lot they could learn from her. I've always admired her ability to make every word come across so clearly. From what I've read, she doesn't speak English particularly well - but I'll tell you, she can sing it superbly! Her voice is so beautiful, and I thought it had been lost to us after ABBA.

I learned about this album by pure luck. I had burned some CDs of my favorite ABBA songs for use when I'm out camping (I never take my originals), and I was looking to see if I could find any ABBA photos on the Internet to use for my CD label artwork. What I found amazed me! There are so many sites dedicated to ABBA (even now, 20 years after they last performed together), and they are very informative about the group and it's individual members.

It was there that I found out Agnetha had a very successful solo career after ABBA - but mostly in Europe. Three of her after- ABBA albums were released with English language versions (and one Greatest Hits album also). I immediately set about getting them for my collection, and I now own all of them. But this one is special. To me, this one is flawless. Every song is beautifully done. Please understand - there are songs on her other albums that I would rate above some of the songs on this album - but I think this is the most completely likeable album. I've read someplace that she considers "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" to be her favorite. But, I like every single track on this album - and there are very few albums by any artist that I've ever said that about. There are fast songs, slow songs, happy songs and sad songs. Every song is a gem. Of course I do have favorites - "Maybe It Was Magic" and "Little White Secrets". These two by themselves would have been worth the cost of the album.

Don't expect the sound of ABBA - it isn't here, but what is here is pure Agnetha, and it's wonderful. If you liked her with ABBA, I think you will be very happy to have this CD included in your collection. I rate this album as a MUST HAVE. By the way, I rate her other albums the same way - but each one of them has one track that I don't like.

I've heard that she is working on a new album - if that's true, rest assured I'll have it also!
