May 5, 1983 on Gäst hos Hagge
On this show Frida opens up about meeting her father for the first time and the host recalls how funny and how intelligent Frida was.
December 17, 1983 Time enters the British charts. Frida and B.A.Robertsson sing it. The flip side was a
song by Björn and Benny, I am The Seeker. Robertson sang it.
1984
During this year Frida meets Prince Heinrich Ruzzo Reuss von Plauen.
And her relationship with Bobo Hjert comes to an end.
She does alot of reevaluating about her life at this time and makes alot of changes.
She moves from London to Switzerland and takes an apartment there. She doesn't wish to return to Sweden to live.
She also bought the home in Mallorca Spain this year.
Frida's Shine Album
This album was started at Polar but recorded in Paris.
Frida went to Paris Feb.1, 1984 to record a new solo albumn Shine in February.
Steve Lilywhite was the producer.
The new sound of this album was apparently too strong for many Frida's fans. It was an unsuccessful album with song's like That's Tough, and Twist in the Dark. I loved Heart of the Country.
The album was ahead of it's time I think.

Paris
Frida and son Hans Fredriksson
In September the Shine album is released. It is her 4th solo album.
Unfortunatly, this album isn't well recieved. Frida wanted to do something really
different...and it was. It was ahead of it's time. Very bold and bright and fresh.
April 7 finds Frida, Benny and Björn on the same TV program in France. They were interviewed at length and Frida did the translating.
