Stepping Out Solo: Frida’s “Come To Me” (I Am Woman)
While most recognize Frida Lyngstad as one-fourth of the iconic pop group ABBA, she also carved a successful solo career. “Come To Me” (I Am Woman), released in 1984, is a powerful ballad showcasing Frida’s distinctive vocals outside the familiar ABBA sound.

The song wasn’t originally intended for Frida. Written by Eddie Howell and David Dundas, it was selected for her second English-language solo album, “Shine.” However, the track’s emotional depth perfectly resonated with Frida’s voice and artistic direction.

“Come To Me” is a departure from ABBA’s upbeat pop anthems. It’s a heartfelt ballad that allows Frida’s remarkable vocal range to shine. The instrumentation is stripped-down, featuring piano and strings that create a melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere. The lyrics explore themes of vulnerability and strength, with a woman yearning for love and connection.

The song holds a special significance for fans who followed Frida’s solo journey. It offered a glimpse into her artistic growth and ability to deliver emotionally resonant music outside the collaborative efforts of ABBA. “Come To Me” stands as a testament to Frida’s enduring talent and her ability to connect with listeners on a deeper level.
