Not Another ABBA Cover Band! Thomas Foster & Monika Ballwein

Published

on

Thomas Foster and Monika Ballwein offer something beyond what a typical ABBA cover band does. They’ve joined forces to transform the classic hit “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” with a supercharged EDM style.

The Legacy of ABBA

Clearly, this song has had some interesting versions over the years. Among the most notable are those by Erasure and A*Teens, not to mention the sample Madonna used in her popular track “Hung Up,” which instantly revitalized her career.

Undoubtedly, there’s something catchy about “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” that makes it timeless and loved across generations, from parents to kids and even grandkids.

A Fresh Spin on an ABBA Classic

The sounds in this rework are louder and crunchier, and the faster tempo makes it perfect for the gym or nightclubs. Obviously, you won’t hear this kind of arrangement in an ABBA cover band, but Austrian producer Thomas Foster wanted to create something that will definitely pump up your adrenaline.

On the other hand, Monika Ballwein has a vocal range very similar to Agnetha Fältskog, so she won’t disappoint the most hardcore fans. Also, you’ll hear some new elements like finger snaps and a heavy bass that will shake the windows if you crank up the volume.

All of this, including the music video, takes you straight to Thomas’s amazing music studio, where he’s known for creating compositions in just about every music genre out there.

From Music Producer to Author – Unlocking AI’s Potential in Music

Besides being a music producer and digital creator, Thomas Foster has recently written a new book titled, Artificial Intelligence in Music and Audio Production, which help other artists to boost their workflow and open new creative doors.

It’s worth mentioning that his book is written in German, but the English edition will be released later this year. In the meantime, you can learn more about his music on social media below.
