Cher ABBA covers album: What is it called?
The album is titled Dancing Queen, and will feature Cher performing covers of many ABBA classics.
Why, you ask?
In case you somehow didn't know, Cher recently played the role of Meryl Streep's mother Ruby in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. In the film, she sang a version of ABBA's 'Fernando' and clearly got hooked on the Swedish group.
Picture: Warner Bros “I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times,” Cher said. “After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking ‘why not do an album of their music?’.
"The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
