“Tell Me It’s Over” is a song written by Stephen Bishop and recorded by Swedish singer Anni-Frid Lyngstad. It was featured as the opening track from her 1982 solo album Something's Going On, produced by Phil Collins.
Background[edit]
Stephen Bishop had recorded the demo in a hotel room, and sent it to Phil Collins for the song selection process for Frida’s first English-language solo album, Something’s Going On. Frida had gone through her recent divorce with Benny Andersson in 1981 and during the recording of the song, she had connected to the lyrics at a personal level. [1]
The song opened the album with Phil Collins’ distinctive drums and kicked off with heavy guitars, which was quite a distance away from the "typical ABBA pop sound", as Frida had intended. [2] The song was backed up by the American musical group Earth, Wind & Fire, who were used on Phil Collins’ previous album Face value. [3] The song was critically praised and was thought that this rock-jazz songs would win new fans. [4]
Release[edit]
"Tell Me It’s Over" was released as a single in Japan. “I Know There’s Something Going On”, the previous single released in Japan, had some success in the Japanese radio charts,[5] however, "Tell Me It’s Over" did not chart. RCA Australia had also intended to have "Tell Me It’s Over" as the second single instead of "To Turn The Stone". However, Polar overruled this decision.[6]
