Frida "I Know There's Something Going On" - Live on Swiss TV, 1982.

Описание: "I Know There's Something Going On" is a song recorded in 1982 by ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida). It was the lead single from her solo album Something's Going On. The song was a huge hit around the world in 1982. Produced by Phil Collins (on drums).

Recording began in ABBA's Polar Music Studio, Stockholm, in February 1982. As ABBA were unofficially on a break, Lyngstad spent time on her solo project. At the time of recording this song/album, Frida wanted to distance herself from "the typical ABBA pop sound". "I Know There's Something Going On" was written by Russ Ballard, borrowing from The Cure's Simon Gallup's 1981 "Other Voices" bass riff and produced by Genesis drummer & singer Phil Collins, who also played drums on the song. The back-up vocals are sung by Lyngstad herself & Collins. The song & video were released in Autumn 1982 & became a massive hit. It hit #1 in France (spending 5 weeks on top), Belgium, Switzerland & Costa Rica & was a Top 10 hit throughout the whole of Europe, as well as in Australia & South Africa. In the United States, the track reached #13. In the UK the song peaked at #43 in September 1982, but did spend 7 weeks inside the Top 75. This single sold 3.5 million copies worldwide & did far better than the last ABBA singles recorded & released in 1982. The album Something's Going On is also the best-selling solo project of any of the former ABBA members to date. A one hour TV documentary about the making of the album and this song, is included in Frida - The DVD. The whole recording process, from day one in the studio to the release party, was filmed by Swedish TV SVT. This documentary includes interviews with Frida and Phil, Björn & Benny from ABBA, as well as all the musicians playing on the album.
