Speaking to the Today Show Cher said: “After I did 'Fernando' [in the film], I thought it would be fun to do an album of ABBA songs, so I did! "It’s not what you think of when you think ABBA, because I did it in a different way.” Cher has yet to reveal any more details about the project. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is released at UK cinemas on Friday (July 20). Review: Cher sings ABBA songs and the reason is sadly clear. OK, everyone, settle down. We have a question. This is important. No, really. Can someone turn the music down? Ready? OK: Put your hand up if you’ve ever asked for an album of ABBA covers by Cher. Seriously, who wanted this? Anyone? Crickets? We thought so. Well, Cher, we guess, wanted it, maybe to buy a new yacht or fulfill some label requirement. Warner Bros. Records clearly did, too, if only to profit on the icon’s appearance in “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.” The whiff of a quick buck is so sour here that it taints the Swedish band’s bubbly compositions. Like one song’s chorus goes: “Gimmie! Gimmie! Gimmie!” Cher offers a very deliberate, 10-track collection of classic ABBA songs, including “Waterloo,” ″Mamma Mia” and “SOS.” Inexplicably, she returns to “Fernando” for another swing, having already supplied a version for the film’s soundtrack. That cover is produced by former ABBA member Benny Andersson; the rest of the album is produced by Cher’s longtime collaborator Mark Taylor. All the versions are fantastically well produced, mixed and arranged, but there’s a strange coldness in these tracks, as if all the fun was drained. Cher takes them all very, very seriously, like they were tunes by Stephen Sondheim instead of frothy disco songs. Her take on “The Winner Takes It All” is especially preposterous and pompous. Only one song, “One of Us,” the final one on the album, reinterprets the original into something somewhat stirring and thoughtful. The cleverness of the “Mamma Mia!” films is that familiar pop songs from the 1970s get sung by movie stars in a lush romantic comedy. That’s different from belting out the same tunes in a recording studio and not adding anything. Please, Cher, go ahead and do an acoustic version or even a punk take of the ABBA catalog. But “Dancing Queen” — except for one song — has nothing new to say and simply reeks with the appalling stench of greed. Cher's 30 greatest songs – ranked! “Cher truly out-gayed herself with this one,” offered one LGBT website of Take It Like a Man’s delightfully double-entendre-laden, robot-voiced Euro-disco stomp with guest vocals from Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, little realising that an album of Abba covers was around the corner. 29. After All (1989) Firmly entrenched in the moneyspinning late-80s world of soft-rock balladry, After All teamed up Cher with former Chicago frontman Peter “Glory of Love” Cetera. Not as immediately effective as her best power ballads, it still has a certain emotional oomph. 28. Little Man (1967) You could perhaps tell that Sonny and Cher were bound not for rock stardom but for cabaret. Little Man is less like the boundary-breaking records at pop’s cutting edge in 1967 and more like the MOR that the people horrified by pop’s cutting edge turned to instead. Still, it’s a pretty charming song. 27. I Paralyze (1982) A flop album that essentially minted the AOR style that would lead to Cher’s resurgence five years later, I Paralyze’s title track is something else entirely – an intriguingly odd collaboration with former Shadow John Farrar, filled with weird chord changes and seasick-sounding brass. 26. Mama Was a Rock and Roll Singer, Papa Used to Write All Her Songs (1974) Even if you hadn’t known that Sonny and Cher’s marriage was in trouble, you might have guessed something was wrong just on the basis of this bizarre but compelling single which opens with what sounds like its climax: a cacophonous minute of squealing guitars. Compelling, bizarre … always on-trend, in 1978. Photograph: Harry Langdon/Getty Images. 25. The Fall (Kurt’s Blues) (2000) Not.com.mercial is an anomaly in Cher’s catalogue: an album of self-penned rock songs, from which this tribute to Kurt Cobain (yes) comes. She delivers it all with a conviction suggesting that, when it comes to the isolating effects of fame, she knows of what she speaks. 24. Dressed to Kill (2013) It is hard to decide which is the more improbable fact: that Cher ended up rerecording the solitary flop solo single released by former Ordinary Boys frontman turned reality TV star Preston, or that her version – a distorted bit of Daft Punk-y pop-house – really works. Winningly, she performed it live dressed as a vampire. 23. A Woman’s Story (1974) A one-off single, its eerie production the work of Phil Spector, A Woman’s Story is an extraordinary, bleak song. Something about Cher’s weary vocal cuts against the optimism of the chorus: the protagonist sounds doomed.
