SK: Tento trakovatelny predmet je venovany dvojclennej skupine Roxette. Pop-rockovú formáciu Roxette založil gitarista, skladateľ a spevák Per Gessle (*12.1.1959) v roku 1986. Meno si zvolili podľa názvu jednej skladby od anglickej skupiny Dr. Feelgood.
Per Gessle aj Marie Frederikson už boli skúsenými hudobníkmi a patrili medzi úspešné postavy švédskej hudobnej scény. V októbri 1986 vydali debutový album Pearls Of Passion. Dva roky nato, v októbri 1988 vydali druhý album Look Sharp! V priebehu ďalších rokov sa presadili aj mimo hraníc Švédska. V apríli 1989 viedli prvýkrát americký rebríček so skladbou The Look.
Na svojom konte majú dnes osem štúdiových albumov, ten ôsmy s názvom Charm School vyšiel vo februári 2011, novinka Travelling je deviatou štúdiovou platňou. K diskografii patria aj dva live a deväť kompilačných albumov, ten najnovší Greatest Hits vydali v júli 2011. V anglickej TOP 30 mali dvadsať piesní, v americkej TOP 40 deväť skladieb, štyri z nich na prvom mieste. Hitmi boli Listen To Your Heart, The Look, Dangerous, It Must Have Been Love, Joyride, The Big L či Spending My Time a How Do You Do.
EN: This travel bug is dedicated to Roxette group. Roxette, Sweden's first pop export of the 90's with the striking image and catchy blend of pop and rock, consist of Marie Fredriksson (born 30 May 1958 Sweden) and Per Gessle (born 12 January 1959, Halmstad, Sweden). Gessle became a solo star in the early 80s having previously played in the new wave band Gyllene Tider. He was 'discovered' by former Abba manager Thomas Johannson who was looking for songs for a Frida album. Meanwhile Fredriksson was playing on the singer/songwriter circuit. Johansson teamed them up in 1985 and they became Roxette. Recording at Gessle's studio in Halmstad they soon conquered Sweden and broke through in the USA thanks to the inclusion of the ballad, 'It Must Have Been Love', which was used on the soundtrack of the film Pretty Woman .
ROXETTE
Lay a whisper on my pillow. A career summary.
Roxette - Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle – came out of Sweden in the late '80s. Their game was pop, their mission to conquer the world. With 33 chart-busting singles and total record sales exceeding 75 million, it’s seems safe to say “mission accomplished”. Except for one thing. It ain’t over yet. Biding their time during Marie Fredriksson’s recovery after her brain tumor operation in 2002, the band has gradually staged a comeback that will climax with a new album and a World Tour in 2011. - See more at: http://roxette.se/biography.php#sthash.Azf5zxOB.dpuf
Roxette - Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle – came out of Sweden in the late '80s. Their game was pop, their mission to conquer the world. With 33 chart-busting singles and total record sales exceeding 75 million, it’s seems safe to say “mission accomplished”. Except for one thing. It ain’t over yet. Biding their time during Marie Fredriksson’s recovery after her brain tumor operation in 2002, the band has gradually staged a comeback that will climax with a new album and a World Tour in 2011.
They entered the world of pop with "The Look" and "Listen To Your Heart" in 1989, followed up with the classic ballad “It Must Have Been Love” in 1990, the uber-platinum "Joyride" album in 1991, and their first World Tour. For the next ten years they were on top of the charts somewhere in the world, the constant flow of hit singles and albums resulting in staggering record sales.
Amazingly, Roxette's seductive mix of romantic ballads and smart pop with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, still seem to posses the same hit potential as when they first stormed the airwaves. During 2005, new cover versions of “Listen To Your Heart” and “Fading Like A Flower” both occupied the dance charts. The song remains the same, indeed...
Marie and Per met in the laid-back West Coast town Halmstad already in the late '70s, but individual success prevented them from "doing something together". Per's former power-pop group Gyllene Tider was – and amazingly enough still is - one of Sweden's most loved acts (although defunct since 1985, their record-breaking 1996 and 2004 re-unions still reverberates through the Swedish show-business annals). Marie's impressive solo career gave her an equally solid platform. - See more at: http://roxette.se/biography.php#sthash.Azf5zxOB.dpuf
