Introduction
For decades, ABBA fans knew the band’s 1974 album “Waterloo” as a collection of catchy pop anthems like “Waterloo” and “Honey, Honey.” However, a delightful surprise emerged in 2023 with the official release of “Suzy-Hang-Around.”
The song’s backstory remains a bit obscure. Written and composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the duo behind ABBA’s greatest hits, “Suzy-Hang-Around” was likely recorded during the “Waterloo” sessions. The reasons for its exclusion from the original album remain unclear. Perhaps it didn’t quite fit the overall flow, or maybe the band simply opted for a different selection of tracks.
Despite its delayed release, “Suzy-Hang-Around” showcases the quintessential ABBA sound. Upbeat tempos, playful melodies, and layered vocals by Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad are all present. Intriguingly, some fans speculate that Benny Andersson himself takes the lead vocal duties on this track, a departure from the usual dynamic.
With its release in 2023, “Suzy-Hang-Around” offered a chance for ABBA devotees to experience a hidden gem. The song serves as a delightful reminder of the band’s enduring musical legacy and their knack for crafting infectious pop tunes. So, put on your dancing shoes and prepare to be charmed by this previously unreleased treasure from the ABBA vault.
