I for one would like to hear an entire album of Abba covers from you!

Absolute magic - from the complex backing vox parts, to the orchestration, to the wide panned acoustic guitars, to the gorgeous production, this is a belter.

It like the way it follows the original but has a ballsier edge and far more poignancy in the way you do the lead vocal.

It's outstanding. More Abba please!

How about a JK rendition of 'Does your Mother Know' ?!!!!

Me too! Could there be a "Geir Sings Abba" jukebox coming? I'd be happy to make it. :)

Beautifully and ethereally done, Geir.

I like the harder edge you brought to the song, as well as the lighter, more ABBA airy type of vocals. Great mixture of contrasting styles!

So much to mention in this one. Love the panned acoustic, that touch of electric rocks, the background vocals are outstanding. What a stellar recording! Really want the full cd...double cd!
Rock on!

Because the Hook brings you back

On that you can rely
