Anni-Frid Lyngstad's debut LP, entitled Frida, also coincided with her taking on Benny Andersson, formerly of the Hep Stars, as her producer, and that event coincided with the singer's first distinctive recordings. For the first time in her career, working with Andersson (who co-wrote one song with Björn Ulvaeus, "Peter Pan," which she cut as a single), she shows a sound of her own, her voice emerging as a distinctly expressive and pure instrument amid Andersson's lean yet creative accompaniments. All 11 songs are appealing, and one can begin to hear the attributes that would emerge on the early ABBA recordings. The two best tracks are her versions of Paul Simon's "The Sound of Silence" and Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne," both done in Swedish (the former titled "En Ton Av Tystnad"), but it's all interesting and much of it is enjoyable, even if Lyngstad still had some way to go to find her range and reach her peak.
