On the heels of appearing in the film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again—which features ABBA songs—Cher will be releasing Dancing Queen, a new album of all-ABBA hits, on Sept. 28 through Warner Bros. Records.
In a press release, Cher said, “I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times. After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
Some of the songs on the album include “SOS,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Waterloo,” “Mamma Mia” and the title song. Those who pre-order the new album will immediately receive Cher’s rendition of the song “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)”; visit wbr.lnk.to/DancingQueen.
Cher is scheduled to be awarded a Kennedy Center Honor on Dec. 2 in Washington, D.C. Also, she is a co-producer of the The Cher Show, which ran this summer in Chicago and will run on Broadway starting Dec. 3, and will be touring Australia and New Zealand in September. She is currently performing a residency at MGM Resorts.
