Frida stepped out of ABBA's shadow in 1982 with Something's Going On, and "I Know There's Something Going On" is the reason rock radio remembers it: a brooding, dramatic pop-rock thriller with thundering drums and a vocal full of suspicion, about as far from Europop sparkle as the singer had ever wandered.
Born Anni-Frid Lyngstad on 15 November 1945 in Bjørkåsen, Norway, the daughter of a German father and a Norwegian mother, she was raised in Torshälla, Sweden, and found her fame as one of ABBA's founding members and lead singers, alongside Benny Andersson, who became her second husband. ABBA went on to sell more than 400 million records.
After the group broke up, she kept an international solo career going, with mixed results, before retiring from music altogether. In 2024 Sweden made her a Commander 1st class of the Order of Vasa.
