"Tell Me It's Over" by Frida

After the demise of the legendary pop group ABBA, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (aka Frida) embarked on a short-lived solo career that yielded a lone top 40 hit with "I Know There's Something Going On." The tune landed at #13 in 1982. 

You may recognize some of the drums and backing vocals on her record, as Phil Collins had a heavy hand in it. Still, outside from the title track and a handful of others, the songs just aren't there and failed to make a lasting impression, even among die-hard ABBA fans. The rocking lead off track, "Tell Me It's Over," is an exception, and I wonder what kind of solo career Frida might have had if she rocked out like this more often.
