Pop legend Cher has announced an album full of ABBA covers which will be released on September 28.
The album, titled 'Dancing Queen', will feature 10 tracks including "Waterloo, "Mamma Mia" and "Fernando".
The 72-year-old singer and actor most recently appeared in "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again".
"I've always liked Abba and saw the original 'Mamma Mia' musical on Broadway three times," Cher said in a statement obtained by Variety.
"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?'" she added.
The album was recorded in London by the singer with her longtime collaborator Mark Taylor.
Cher believes "it's a perfect time" to release the album, her first since 2013's 'Closer to the Truth'.
"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," she said.
The veteran singer also tweeted a snippet of her version of ABBA's 1979 disco classic "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!".
The album is currently available for pre-order.
