Anni-Frid "Frida" Synni Lyngstad (s. 15. marraskuuta 1945 Ballangen, Norja) on ruotsalainen laulaja. Hänet tunnetaan erityisesti ruotsalaisen Abba-yhtyeen toisena solistina.[1]

Lyngstadin isä oli saksalainen kersantti Alfred Haase, ja äiti oli norjalainen Synni Lyngstad. Synni Lyngstad kuoli 21-vuotiaana tyttärensä ollessa vasta kaksivuotias. Tämän jälkeen Lyngstadin isoäidistä tuli hänen huoltajansa.[1] Joitakin vuosia myöhemmin he muuttivat Ruotsiin, mistä isoäiti sai töitä ompelijana. Lyngstad lopetti koulunkäyntinsä 13-vuotiaana ryhtyäkseen laulajaksi.

Lyngstad voitti laulukilpailun 1967, sai levytyssopimuksen EMI:ltä ja näkyvyyttä televisiossa. Hän julkaisi useita singlejä ja sitten albumin vuonna 1971.[1]

Lyngstad oli toinen Abba-yhtyeen kahdesta laulajasta Agnetha Fältskogin kanssa. Hänen suurelta osin laulamiaan Abba-kappaleita ovat muun muassa "Fernando", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Money, Money, Money", "Super Trouper" ja "I Have a Dream". Lyngstadin mezzosopraano tulee oikeuksiinsa kappaleessa "The Day Before You Came", jonka instrumentaaliosissa hän laulaa taustalla stemmoja oopperamaisella tavalla.kenen mukaan?

Abban lopetettua toimintansa vuonna 1982 Lyngstad palasi soolouralle.[1] Hän on esiintynyt Suomessa kahdesti, Helsingissä vuosina 1984 ja 1996. Ensimmäinen esiintyminen oli osa Shine-albumin promootiokiertuetta, jälkimmäinen puolestaan Svenska Teaternin järjestämässä hyväntekeväisyysgaalassa.

Vuonna 2005 julkaistiin Lyngstadin 60-vuotispäivän kunniaksi DVD-boxi, joka esittelee laajasti muun muassa hänen televisioesiintymisiään ja soololevyt Frida Ensam -levystä alkaen.

Lyngstad suunnitteli uutta levyä hyvin menestyneen Djupa andetag -albumin jälkeen vuonna 1998, mutta traagiset tapahtumat saivat hänet muuttamaan mielensä. Joitakin demonauhoituksia on olemassa, mutta projekti jäädytettiin.

Lyngstad on myöhemminkin levyttänyt yksittäisiä kappaleita, mm. italialaisen Filippa Giordanon ja Deep Purple -yhtyeen Jon Lordin kanssa.

Lyngstad oli vuosina 1964–1969 naimisissa Ragnar Fredrikssonin kanssa. Heillä on kaksi yhteistä lasta, Hans Ragnar Fredriksson (s.26.1.1963) ja Ann Lise-Lotte Fredriksson (s. 25.2.1967). Abba-aikoina Lyngstad oli avo- ja avioliitossa Benny Anderssonin kanssa. Abban lopetettua hän muutti pois Ruotsista ensin Lontooseen ja myöhemmin Sveitsiin. Siellä hän tapasi viimeisimmän aviomiehensä, golfkenttäarkkitehti ruhtinas Ruzzo Reussin. Ruhtinas Reuss kuoli syöpään 49-vuotiaana vuonna 1999. Lyngstadin tytär Lise-Lotte kuoli auto-onnettomuudessa asuinmaassaan Yhdysvalloissa vuonna 1998. Lyngstad on läheinen ystävä Ruotsin hovin ja erityisesti kuningatar Silvian kanssa.

Frida ensam (English: Frida Alone) is the second studio album by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It was first released by Polar Music in 1975 while Lyngstad was a member of the pop group ABBA and produced by her then-fiancé and fellow ABBA member, Benny Andersson. The album has since been re-released several times, most significantly in remastered form in 2005 with bonus tracks. The lead song was the original version of "Fernando" sung in Swedish by Lyngstad, later popularised in its English version by ABBA. The album was a huge success in Sweden and was certified platinum.

Background

Frida ensam was recorded in KMH Studio and mixed at Metronome Studio in Stockholm. Benny Andersson plays all the pianos and keyboards, while the rest of the musicians are very much the same team who played on ABBA's records. First recordings and preparations started in 1974 but, due to the rising popularity of ABBA, the album took over 18 months to complete and was recorded between sessions and promotion for the ABBA albums Waterloo and ABBA.

Content

Frida ensam opens with Lyngstad's Swedish solo version of "Fernando" which was not released as a single in Sweden, so that those who wanted it had to buy the album. (It was however released by Polar as a single in Norway but did not reach the charts there). The song was written so that the album would contain something unique and new. This was a song with a great hit potential (being practically a new ABBA song) and this clever decision led to the album selling 130,000 copies. The song became the most popular track on the album and it spent nine weeks at #1 on Svensktoppen (a chart of Swedish songs on Sveriges radio not based on sales). The English version recorded by ABBA became one of the group's biggest hits. The English version, with completely different lyrics by Björn Ulvaeus, presents a vision of nostalgia for two veterans reminiscing in old age about a lost battle in which they participated. "I wrote all the songs as little stories. "Fernando" was about two old freedom-fighters from the war between Texas and Mexico. I was lying outside one summer night, looking at the stars and it suddenly came to me". This quote indicates that an English version was always foreseen as the summer referred to must be the summer of 1975.

With the exception of "Fernando", all the other songs are cover versions, showing Lyngstad's and Andersson's fairly eclectic taste in music. Besides dramatic Italian ballads like "Anima Mia" and "Vado Via", the album includes Lyngstad's interpretations of 10cc's "The Wall Street Shuffle" and David Bowie's "Life on Mars", sixties hits like The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and Gary Puckett & The Union Gap's "Young Girl", the country and western ballad "The Most Beautiful Girl", "Send in the Clowns" from Stephen Sondheim's musical A Little Night Music as well as the Greek folk song "Siko Chorepse Syrtaki" and "Som en sparv" (with lyrics by Swedish poet Barbro Hörberg) originally recorded by Swedish band Wasa. The album received positive reviews both in Sweden and other countries. For example, British Melody Maker wrote: "The album portrays Frida as a very strong and emotive singer and shows the true value of the music, that if sung properly and with enough feeling it transcends all language barriers".

Lyrically, most of the tracks have a common theme, that of a strong and independent woman, hence the album title. The ironic lyrics of "Vill du låna en man" show a particularly emancipated Lyngstad: "Hi, would you like to borrow a man? He's one hell of a guy. His umbrella and slippers are included. – You'll have to be patient though, remember that he owns you – plus the three other women he sees on the side. – Are you ready to become the mother of someone who measures 2.02 in the buff? – When he's had his say, that's the way it is. When he's wrong he's right anyway. – Before you answer just make sure you can handle these children also known as men."

The hand-painted sleeve was deemed by one journalist to be "so sensual, it could make the Leaning Tower of Pisa stand to attention."

Frida ensam was a huge success in Sweden topping the album charts for six weeks and spending a total of 38 weeks in the charts. The Swedish version of "Fernando" topped the Svensktoppen radio chart for nine weeks.

A digitally remastered version of the album was released by Universal Music in 2005, including two bonus tracks; the A and B-sides of Lyngstad's debut single for the Polar Music label, both Italian schlager hits with Swedish lyrics by Stig Anderson and both produced by Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. "Man vill ju leva lite dessemellan" was Frida's second Svensktoppen #1 in late 1972.
