Album Description
Available in:
Voulez-Vous é o sexto álbum de estúdio da banda ABBA, foi lançado primeiro na Suécia no dia 23 de Abril de 1979. As gravações começaram em Março de 1978, indo até Março de 1979.
Quando o sexto álbum do ABBA foi gravado, o mundo da música popular estava no meio de uma moda de disco. Isto certamente deixa sua marca em Voulez-Vous, que foi caracterizada por batidas de dança e inflexões rítmicas. Realçando esta tendência, a música título foi gravada na Criteria Studios em Miami, Florida, EUA, onde os Bee Gees fizeram seus sucessos da era disco.
Outros sucessos do álbum são "Chiquitita", "Does Your Mother Know", "Angeleyes" e "I Have A Dream". No Brasil, o álbum vendeu aproximadamente 1 milhão e 500 mil cópias. O single "Chiquitita" atingiu a marca de 700 mil cópias e "Chiquitita" na versão espanhola teve sua marca alcançada em 120 mil vendas.
User Album Review
For a group perceived as a lovable but lightweight pop outfit, it is surprising how much ABBA developed. In a career that took them from power pop to mini-rock operas to modish synth pop, the Swedish four-piece at no point rested on their laurels.
Voulez-Vous is a case in point. First released in the UK in April 1979, it was an effort that saw Agnetha, Benny, Björn and Anni-Frid put their dancing shoes on to join in with the dominant disco craze. Songs like As Good As New and the title-track see pulsating basslines married to sweeping strings and/or mellifluous keyboard parts. The quietly vengeful The King Has Lost His Crown slackens the pace a little but retains the slick funkiness. It’s a concoction that, though flawless, can be exhausting; but ABBA had an advantage over supposed genuine disco merchants in the shape of their pop-craft. With tracks like Chiquitita – a beautiful, vulnerable, Latin-inflected ballad – and the chanted utopianism of I Have a Dream they are able to provide a pocket of air on a disco floor that would otherwise get sweaty and stultifying. The only real clinkers are Lovers (Live a Little Longer), a would-be saucy anthem which is merely shrill, and Does Your Mother Know, a slab of generic rock that would be risible even without memories of Björn performing it onstage in a clinging silver jumpsuit.
The bonus tracks on this Deluxe Edition include pulsating contemporaneous single Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight), Chiquitita B side Lovelight, album outtake Dream World and the extended 12” promo version of the title-track. The disc two DVD features a BBC in-concert documentary, TV performances, TV commercials and a gallery of picture sleeves. The objective of providing an idea of ABBA’s place in the culture of the time is valid but the inclusion of such material makes all the more irritating the exclusion from the audio disc of the familiar single version of Summer Night City in favour of the long version first released on the Thank You for the Music box-set. Also, why not the other Voulez-Vous outtakes included on that box-set? It all serves to undermine the comprehensiveness that is the whole point of the Deluxe series – something that, yes, not even the delights of ABBA’s turns on The Mike Yarwood Show and Swap Shop can make up for.
