When I heard ABBA was reuniting to create an album, I immediately blasted “Super Trouper” and joyously danced around my room. It has been 40 years since ABBA split up, but the legacy of the Swedish pop powerhouse has been set in stone. From hits like “Dancing Queen” to “Voulez-Vous,” ABBA has centralized their position

They were on top of the world, or so it seemed. After three self-released albums in the span of a year, BROCKHAMPTON had signed to RCA records on March 30, 2018, and looked destined to take their sound out of the Los Angeles underground. The group, a self-styled boyband and rap collective from Los Angeles,
