Frida is the debut studio album by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad, released in March 1971[1] by EMI Columbia. Recorded between September 1970 and January 1971,[2] Frida was produced by her then-fiancé, Benny Andersson. Frida was her only album recorded for EMI during her contract, not counting her eponymous compilation album from 1972, before being signed to Polar and forming the pop group ABBA, a year later.
The album received positive receptions from critics, both retrospectively and at the time of the album's release, but did not chart, with the exception of her non-album single from the same year, Min Egen Stad, until Frida charted in Sweden, in April 2017 with a limited edition reissue, reaching No. 28 on Sverigetopplistan's album charts.[3] Frida has since been reissued several times by EMI and Parlophone since the original issue of the album.
