 | | Description: | Frida Ensam is the second album by ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It was produced by her fiancé, ABBA member Benny Andersson and was first released by Polar Music in 1975. The lead song was Frida's solo version of "Fernando" (written and produced by Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus). All lyrics are in Swedish. The album was a huge success in Sweden, and Lyngstad was awarded with a platinum disc. - SWEDISH 1975/ REMASTERED + 2 BONUSTRACKSThe Swedish-language Frida Ensam (Frida Alone), produced by fellow ABBA member Benny Andersson, was originally issued in 1975. The album was a domestic number one smash at the time of it's original release and contains Frida's Swedish versions of songs such as David Bowie's 'Life on Mars?', the Beach Boys' 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' and Stephen Sondheim's 'Send in the Clowns'. The album also features Frida's original version of 'Fernando', which was actually released before ABBA's English version became an international hit.
