After the unofficial break-up of ABBA in December 1982, she renewed success later in the decade as a solo artist with three albums and a leading role in a movie. She became reclusive in the 1990s, avoiding outside publicity[4] and residing[5] on the Stockholm County island of Ekerö.
Fältskog stopped recording music for 16 years until she released a new album, My Colouring Book, in 2004.[6][7] She returned in 2013 with A, her highest UK charting solo album to date.[8][9][10] ABBA has since reformed, and Fältskog has resumed her previous role with the group.[11]
