On February 11 the unlikely becomes reality. After 25 years as a
world-famous act with 70 million albums sold, one of Sweden's biggest
pop groups steps back into the spotlight, a decade after their last
studio album "Room Service".
They do it with "Charm School", a new album with twelve songs in a
style that's best described as "updated classic Roxette", from the
initial power pop fireworks of "Way Out" to the bittersweet closer
"Sitting On Top Of The World".
First Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle were reunited on stage to
perform "It Must Have Been Love" and "The Look" during Per's "Party
Crasher" tour in Amsterdam. And before the fans knew it, Roxette made
a full-scale comeback as headliners during the "Night of the Proms"
tour in front of more than 600,000 people in Holland, Belgium and
Germany.
"By then we started to think ahead and plan for the possibility of
making a new album - an album that captured everything that's good
about Roxette while still looking ahead," says Per Gessle. Said and
done. During the tour, the band's hotel rooms were transformed into
recording studios where a string of new Roxette songs took shape.
Back home in Sweden, the work continued during the spring and autumn
of 2010. Just as when the band recorded during their heyday, there
were lots of songs to choose from. The sensitive ballad "In My Own
Way" for example, is a rediscovered gem from 1984, when the dream of
international recognition was still just a dream.
The newest song is the extremely infectious groove-master "She's Got
Nothing On (But The Radio)," written this autumn. In-between there's
everything that has made Roxette one of the world's most radio-played
pop groups; the clinging melodies, the passionate delivery, the
humorous pop sense and the unique mix of Marie Fredriksson's and Per
Gessle's voices. All wrapped up in a musical package that is
unmistakably 2011.
"For me the starting point has always been to write songs for Marie's
voice," Gessle says. "She's got this ability to make you believe
every word she sings, and that's why she brings the stories to life.
As a songwriter that's an incredible gift to be a part of."
The album was recorded in the south of Sweden and Stockholm with
Clarence Oefwerman and Christoffer Lundqvist as producers (together
with Per and Marie). "Charm School" is a magnificent return to form
after ten years of trials and challenges. Or as Marie Fredriksson
sings in one of the album's quintessential tracks: "No One Makes It
On Her Own." Hear the school bell ring on February 11.
