ROXETTE, the highly successful Scandinavian duo consisting of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, are on the road again. Some 25 years after releasing their catchy songs that have been hits all over the world they have released a new collection 'Roxette XXX - The 30 Biggest Hits'…
If proof were needed that Roxette are the new ABBA, the lack of critical respect should be enough. Like Abba, Roxette is a masterful pop band (with just the right amount of kitsch in its armor) that routinely gets slagged off for lacking substance, whatever that may be. Room Service showcases a band at the top of its form with its feet firm on the pedal: this album is a case study in songcraft and pop smarts…
Berry Gordy, Jr. once said "Don't bore us – get to the chorus," which basically sums up most of pop music. It doesn't, however, do credit to Roxette, who has crafted some of the best tunes of the '80s and '90s. This compilation exhibits what pop masters Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson are…
Roxette XXX – The 30 Biggest Hits is the sixth greatest hits compilation album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 3 November 2014 by Roxette Recordings in conjunction with Parlophone and Warner Music Group.
Capitol's Collection of Roxette Hits: Their 20 Greatest Songs collects 12 album tracks, a couple of remixes, four singles, and two new cuts ("Reveal" and "One Wish") that dutifully sum up the hook-filled careers of Swedish pop masters Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle…
As one half of the duo Roxette, Per Gessle became one of the most successful Swedish artists ever. Gessle not only has a gift for catchy hooks, but he has also worked diligently to succeed worldwide throughout his entire career. When the power pop band Gyllene Tider failed to do so – but still became one of the best-selling bands in Sweden – he disbanded the group and tried a solo career, until finally settling on the duo format in Roxette, together with Marie Fredriksson…
Per Gessle was released on 8 April, 1983 and is the first solo album of Swedish pop artist Per Gessle. Already with Marie Fredriksson as background singer. The album peaked at #5 on the Swedish albums chart. Before releasing this album, Gessle got famous as singer of the Swedish band Gyllene Tider. A re-release on CD had three bonus tracks.
