MADONNA WITH AGNETHA AND FRIDA? -

This is a scoop .. isn't it ? LOL! After Robbie William it's now Madonna !

I don't believe it .. but well .... here is the story :

MABBA

November 11, 2006

MADONNA is working with ABBA legends AGNETHA FÄLTSKOG and FRIDA LYNGSTAD on tracks for her new album.

ABBA fan Madge is deep in discussions with the pair about recording together on her follow-up to No. 1 album Confessions On A Dance Floor.

And even though Agnetha has lived like a virtual recluse and Frida hung up her high-heeled platform shoes years ago - they have agreed to go into the studio.

This will be a truly massive collaboration of the music monarchy - The Queen Of Pop and the original Dancing Queens joining forces.

It should be a sure-fire hit if Madge, seen going to the movies in London's Mayfair, chooses to release their joint studio efforts as a single. A source said: "Madonna has been in contact with Agnetha and Frida for a few months.

"Madonna was the driving force behind the idea because she was so happy with her sample of Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! on Hung Up.

"Agnetha and Frida loved it, they really warmed to Madonna for rejuvenating one of their most famous tracks."

My source revealed they will write and record together as soon as Madge, her producing partner STUART PRICE and the ex-ABBA girls are all free.

ABB fellas BJÖRN ULVAEUS and BENNY ANDERSSON will not be involved but are believed to have given the plans the thumbs up.

Madonna made music history while writing Confessions together with Price, becoming the first artist ever to get permission to remix and sample an Abba track.

At the time she said: "I had to send my emissary to Stockholm with a letter and the record begging them and imploring them and telling them how much I worship their music, telling them it was a homage to them, which is all true.

"They could have said no. Thank God they didn't."

Earlier this week I revealed Madonna provided a message on the sleevenotes for the Swedish supergroup's Greatest Hits, which hit the shops on Monday.

She wrote: "ABBA's timeless music continues to inspire me. It's joyous. Standing still when you hear ABBA is impossible.

"When I started recording my Confessions On A Dance Floor album, Stuart Price and I played their music constantly. Hung Up is my homage to their contribution to music."

Madge is also working on fresh material with her ex LENNY KRAVITZ.

Price, Kravitz, ABBA and Madge?

It's safe to say that will be another Madonna No. 1 album then . . .

Hands and thumbs up for it
