With ten songs written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, it is the group's first album of new material in forty years. [9] [10] It is also the first ABBA album to not feature long-time session and touring musicians Ola Brunkert on drums and Rutger Gunnarsson on bass, following their respective deaths in 2008 and 2015.
