Here we go again: ABBA records first new songs in 35 years

Mamma Mia! The members of ABBA announced Friday that they have recorded new material for the first time in 35 years.

The Swedish pop supergroup said it had recorded two new songs, including one titled “I Still Have Faith in You.”

The news was announced in an Instagram statement from Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Faltskog.

The band’s statement said the members reunited to plan a virtual tour featuring digital avatars and decided to go back into the studio.

ABBA said that “it was like time had stood still and that we had only been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyous experience!”

“I Still Have Faith In You” is due to be performed by the group’s holograms in a December special TV broadcast by the BBC and NBC.

Britain’s newest prince is named Louis Arthur Charles

Great Britain’s new prince has a name – in fact, three.

The infant son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has been named Louis Arthur Charles, Kensington Palace announced Friday. The palace said the baby’s full title is His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.

William and Kate’s third child, born Monday, is a brother to 4-yearold Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who is almost 3. Louis – pronounced LOO-ee – is fifth in line to the throne after his grandfather Prince Charles, his father and his older siblings.

The name pays tribute twice over to Prince Charles, who has Arthur as one of his middle names. The choice also honors Louis Mountbatten, Charles’ great-uncle and beloved mentor, who was killed by an Irish Republican Army bomb in 1979.
