Roxette
Roxette is a Swedish pop music duo which started in 1986. The group includes the singers and songwriters Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson. Roxette had their greatest time 1998-1995 when they toured around the world, with their concerts “Join the Joyride World Tour” and “Crash! Boom! Bang! World Tour”. After the tours they had a live-performance break for a couple of years, but in 2001 they started another tour, a Europe tour called “Room Service Tour”.
Sadly in the year of 2002 Marie got a brain tumor which cost her a bit of her singing career and they had a career break but after a couple of years Marie was a fully
recovered. In 2006 Roxette released a “best of CD” called “A Collection of Roxette Hits – Their 20 Greatest Songs!”. Later, that same year they released another album, called “The Rox Box / Roxette 86-06” which was their final collection, and they decided to stop making music. Of course many of the Roxette fans were sorry.
But unbelievably enough, in 2010 the group decided to restart making music
together, or at least sing their old songs again. On June 18th 2010 they sang together again with their hit “The Look” which was a “before marriage–party” performance in Stockholm for Crown princess Victoria and her husband Daniel.
Roxette had some really popular songs, like “Listen to your heart” which is also my favourite. Some other famous hits are: It Must Have Been Love, Joyride, Dressed For Success and Sleeping In My Car. Watch and enjoy “Listen to your heart”! (By Emma Ekberg)
