Frida Something's Going On equipment

Something's Going On is the debut album of ex-ABBA singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad (a.k.a. Frida), released in September 1982.

Phil Collins and Hugh Padgham were producers of this record, which saw a shift towards a more rock-oriented sound in her music compared to previous efforts with ABBA. It was also one of the first albums to be recorded and mixed digitally at Polar Studios in Sweden, with additional recording at AIR Studios London.
