Her reported signing to BMG comes two years after the band reunited to release the comeback album Voyage. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Agnetha loved being back in the studio with ABBA and it inspired her to relaunch her solo career.

‘She has been in regular contact for months with the team at BMG in London and they have helped develop her new sound.

‘After a long time working on new music, there is finally a body of work which she loves and which is ready for release.’

She first achieved success in Sweden with the release of her 1968 self-titled debut album.
