ABBA Duo Turn Swedish Epic Into Windy Oratorio: Jeremy Gerard

Bloomberg.com: "After flopping on Broadway with “Chess” (but before their “Mamma Mia!” megahit) the Swedish song-writing duo behind ABBA went Baroque with “Kristina,” a hit in Malmo, Sweden."

I'm glad to hear that the people behind ABBA's music are continuing to be successful. The story of Kristina sounds interesting and is entirely different from several of the others we've seen from this couple. However, I'm curious about the music and whether or not it bares any resemblance to the type of music we've seen from them before. It tends to be hit-or-miss with the success of these songs, but perhaps Kristina has created an all new style.
