Released on July 20th, the sequel to the beloved jukebox musical rom-com has already grossed $282.9 million. It\u2019s hard to gauge whether fans love the sweet story, the slick one-liners, or the ABBA hits that carry it along. Probably a mix of all three.<\/p>\n
The soundtrack<\/a>\u00a0was produced and arranged by ABBA icon Benny Andersson, who handpicked each song to delight fans old and new. You can purchase the Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again soundtrack on vinyl\u00a0here, <\/a>or download it here.<\/a><\/p>\n The release came 10 years from the week that the original film took box offices by storm. <\/span><\/p>\n The star-studded cast sing and dance to songs like \u201cDancing Queen,\u201d \u201cI Have a Dream,\u201d and \u201cFernando,\u201d while exploring the backstory of Meryl Streep\u2019s iconic Donna Sheridan. So far, fans and critics alike find that, just like the original film, the sequel is silly and fun in the most refreshingly self-aware way. It doesn\u2019t take itself too seriously, but it still leaves viewers with a giddy energy that only a film of this nature can do.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image_full":{"ID":420,"id":420,"title":"MammaMia","filename":"MammaMia.jpg","filesize":189354,"url":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/MammaMia.jpg","link":"https:\/\/umusic.ie\/backend\/music-news\/mamma-mia-here-we-go-again\/mammamia\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"mammamia","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":418,"date":"2019-11-28
