Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jake Halpern reveals webs of deception and dark underworlds, through interviews with federal agents and convicted criminals. Their debut album The Sign was the number one album for the year 1994 in America. The bells and whistles of the A*Teens sound (which, frankly, often sounded like Ace of Base covering ABBA themselves) gave songs like “S.O.S” the room to grow into the massive, melodramatic pop hooks they always were - but they also made the quieter and more reflective melancholy of the originals (of songs like “One of Us”) all the more appreciable.Deep Cover is a show about people who lead double lives. a Swedish Europop band that scored big hits in the 90s. The group released four studio albums between 19, and sold 50 million records worldwide, making them the third-most successful Swedish band of all time, after ABBA and Roxette. They don’t have any heavy messages, even if the songs obviously have become better crafted and substantial over the years. They want to make their listeners feel good when hearing their music. There’s a shinier optimism in their “Super Trouper” that contrasts the weariness of Agnetha and Frida dealing with the emotional toll of life on the road. Ace of Base is a Swedish pop group, originally consisting of Ulf Ekberg and three siblings, Jonas Berggren, Linn Berggren and Jenny Berggren. Ace of Base is something as uncomplicated as a pop band, that doesn’t try to be or appear to be anything else than that. There’s a frantic energy in the A*Teens’ “Take a Chance on Me” that only emphasizes the song’s desperation. You could say that the achilles heel of Ace of Base was that its most marketable member (Malin Berggren) wasnt exactly into becoming a famous pop star. That “Mamma Mia” could work as a high-energy dance track (or, later, that Madonna could sample “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” in 2005’s “Hung Up”) was a testament to Benny and Björn, even if the newer incarnations struck purists as blasphemous.Īt times, the covers brought out elements of the songs that go less noticed under the original more subtle production. What made the A*Teens a worthy project was how the songs pushed and pulled the conventions of ABBA’s vintage sound to show just how well the songwriting could hold up over time. That wasn’t the point, though, at least on artistic grounds like Hollywood’s obsession with sequels, money, money, money likely has plenty to do with the formation of these pre-fab pop groups.
