ABBA, who announced a surprise reunion earlier this year, is set to present two new songs – one of which is titled "I Still Have Faith In You" – on television in November this year.

“Frida, Agnetha, Björn and Benny in RMV Studio Stockholm, recording the two new songs! Release end of this year.” reads the caption underneath photos of the foursome in the studio.

 “One of the songs is like we would’ve written it today. The other, we could’ve written in 1972,” said Benny Andersson when asked by NME about the direction of ABBA’s new material.

“I think so,” Bjorn Ulvaeus agreed. “It certainly sounds ABBA very much. If I were to listen to the British Top 10 today, I’d have no idea what’s going on.”

The group has not released any new music in 35 years but is scheduled to go on a “virtual” concert tour in 2019. (sul/wng)
