Customer Reviews

Agnetha's Best Album "Alone"
This has got to be Agnetha Faltskog at her best. The album was recordedin California, North America and was produced by former Chicago singerPeter Cetera.
I wasn't a fan of Agnetha's solo work, until I heard this album. A lot offans criticise this album because of the American sound on it, and that itwasn't the familiar Euro-Pop sound that fans were used to, maybe that'swhat it appealed to me! It was a fresh new sound and I think that's whatmakes this album "Stand Alone" from her previous work.
I think each and every track on the album is amazing, my favourite tracksbeing the ballads, including "I Wasn't The One (Who Said Goodbye)" as Ithink Agnetha and Peter sound great as a duo, "Maybe It Was Magic" as ithas a nice, slow feel-good vibe to it, "If You Need Somebody Tonight", forbeing a tingling, heart felt song and "Let It Shine", one of the mostpositive and uplifting songs on the album. The only track I like theleast is "We Got A Way", a song you would expect to find on a Starshipalbum. Too rock and roll for this album.
Overall, this has got to be one of Agnetha's best solo albums. I firstbought this album online over three years ago and have never gone tiredlistening to it. It's a shame that it wasn't well publicised here in theUK as I'm sure this album could have done well.
I would highly recommend this album.

Evolution at it's best
Agnetha was always my favourite abba singer, her first two solo albums were fantastic, and as the eighties progressed, Agnetha noticably gained more confidence in her work, as her solo career was far more successful than that of Frida, this alum I stand Alone, is a lot different to her first two albums, which were euro pop, this is more american in style, but is equally just as good as her other albums.

Agnetha's new look is stunning and her voice is sharp and clear, she's the best ! I recommend you give it a go!

Abba star goes through the motions on bland third album
Agnetha's third English language album sees her putting herself solely in the hands of Chicago lead-singer Peter Cetera.

The end result, for the most part, is pretty much what you'd expect from such a collaboration - a fairly bland, American orientated collection of pedestrian songs which was never likely to resurrect Agnetha's career as a solo artiste.

That's not to say it's an awful album - just that her first two albums are a lot more enjoyable and inspiring.

'The last time' and 'Love in a world gone mad' are the main highlights for me on this album but the rest mostly sound like Agnetha ambling through whatever songs Pete Cetera puts in front of her. Noticeably, Agnetha doesn't contribute any songs of her own to this album whereas previous projects proved that she was more than capable of doing so.

My overall feeling from this album is that Pete Cetera longed to work with Agnetha whereas the lady herself - never one to exert herself when it comes to self-promotion - was quite happy to please him and let him get on with it.

If you're keen to hear a solo album by Agnetha, go for the 'Eyes of a woman' album; this one's only for the most dedicated Agnetha fans.
