5.0 out of 5 stars A brave and inventive move, 22 Feb 2003

By	"martiboy210" - See all my reviews

..."Something's Going On" was actually quite a brave move for a singer whose fanbase at that time was used to a staple of reasonably lightweight pop (albeit extremely classy). The rougher edges of "Tell Me It's Over", "I Got Something" and "I Know There's Something Going On" - as well as the emphatic drum and guitar oriented sound of the album overall - were quite a step away from the ABBA sound. This move away from the safety net was also cathartic for Frida who was still smarting from her divorce. Another reviewer here points out Frida's assertion that there would be no point in doing a solo album if the result sounded like ABBA - which is further evidence of the relative bravery of this album. Still, there are some poppier moments on the album too: "Here We'll Stay" was frothy but not quite as substantial as "I See Red" (the hit that got away) or "To Turn The Stone" (recorded by Donna Summer but not actually released until the 90s). Frida's take on "You Know What I Mean" is wonderful and adds a new twist to the Phil Collins original. The arrangements are similar enough but the vocal nuances are actually very different. The jazzier punch of "Baby Don't You Cry No More" straddles a lot of camps: the Phil Collins funkiness (back when he could "do" funky, that is), the ABBA poppiness and also the jazziness of Frida's pre-ABBA career. In hindsight, it might have made a good single.

Like one of the other reviewers here, I'd have to say that comparing the styles of Frida to her ex-colleague Agnetha Faltskog is insulting to both women. Listen to the album. You'll like it or you won't. A word of caution though: it was recorded in 1982 and reflects the musical fashions and innovations of THAT era. Approach it as you would any other oldie - whether it be by ABBA, Agnetha Faltskog or any other artist with a back catalogue this old. As for me, I think this is a strong and mature album and well worth purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars More please, Frida., 29 Mar 2003

By	Mr. D. J. Woolrich (england) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This album is excellent. It was Frida's first solo recording after Abba and the sound is totally unlike Abba.

This lady has one of THE best voices I have ever had the privilege of hearing and I wish she would make more albums.

Mr.Collin's input is obvious and adds to the overall excellent sound.

More PLEASE Frida!

David Woolrich.

5.0 out of 5 stars There certainly was Something Going On......., 29 April 2000

By A Customer

Well, for Frida's first Englsih solo release, I can say with confidence, that this LP is excellent.

There are exeptions, but that is to be expected as this would have been for the first time in six years that Frida had an album written for her outside of the normal ABBA camp.

The songs really do stand out, and, at a time when Frida and Benny had recently divorced, this showed, on Frida's part, independence and dignity. Okay, Frida was probably pretty angry at the time, but that didn't stop her from belting out some wicked tracks!

"I Know There's Something Going On", "Threnody", "To Turn The Stone", "Here We'll Stay" and "You Know What I Mean" stand out 110%, and the combination of Frida's voice and the legendary Mr Collins' is faultless.

If you can get your hands on a copy of the video clip to "I Know There's Something Going On", I personally think you'll be amazed at the way the song and the video fit together. A bit like Frida and Agnetha's voices in the studio. Classic!
