Here's the link to the teaser for Just A Notion. New vocals can clearly be heard. It sounds lovely and fresh and uplifting. vm.tiktok.com/ZM8MbMNtf/ |

From what I've heard, this sounds like a strong, catchy song.
However, of the 8 songs we've yet to hear off the album, it is a bit of a shame that they think the best song to preview is an old one which they never thought quite deserved a release in the past, whatever the reason.
As other have pointed out, though, it's a minor quibble.
The fact that we are just over two weeks away from a brand new Abba album is amazing!

I'm glad it's Just A Notion being released, means there are still 7 new unheard songs to look forward to on the 5th!

I liked the song Just a notion the moment I first heard it in 1994 under the name ABBA Undeleted.
I know that according to Magnus, this song should have been released on the Voules vous 2001 CD.
This song fascinated me just the transitions to high tones.
Unfortunately, I think that the remake as I heard the sample is below, which takes the overall atmosphere of the song.
I'm other songs I'd like to hear, at least in the new version.
Just Like That, Crying Over You and above all a very high quality song I Know Him So Well.
It is difficult to understand that this composition was not re-sung by Agnetha and Frida

Just Like That, Crying Over You and above all a very high quality song I Know Him So Well. Cryin' Over You? Really? I have other favourites. Just Like That is obvious but besides that one I really love Rubber Ball Man (or Under My Sun) and also Hamlet. I do understand why the latter did not progress beyond the demo, it was really not a pop song, but I think they could proudly release it today. The vocals are pure heaven. |

Me: Alexa, play "Just A Notion" by ABBA
Alexa: Sorry, I can't find "Just An Ocean" by ABBA
Me: Alexa, play Just. A... NO-
Alexa: Sorry, I don't know that one
Me: ALEXA!!! Plaaaaaay JUST... A..... NOTION by ABBA
Alexa (finally): "Just A Notion by ABBA from Spotify" - as if the preceding argybargy hadn't occurred at all! And I'm pretty sure she had a tone with me too, like "wind yer neck in, biatch." Bloody robots.

Here's an interesting comparison between the 1978 and 2021 versions which proves conclusively that...
some people have too much time on their hands!

Checked the airplay chart yesterday and was v surprised to see Just a Notion at 11. ukairplaychart.com/uk/rolling_week/I think that's a good bit higher than Don't Shut Me Down reached. Radio 2 A-list alone can only just get a song into the top 20, so there must be quite a few other stations playing it, too. Looks like their decision to release it as a single has been vindicated after all! |
