Cher will release Dancing Queen, a new album of Abba covers, on Sept 28, Warner Bros. Records announced recently. The singer and actress - who has won Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy Awards - was inspired to record the album following her performance in the recently-released hit film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, according to the announcement.
“I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times,” Cher said. ”After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
