Roxette - Charm School

Po 25. letih izjemne kariere, v kateri so prodali 70 milijonov albumov, in deset let po izidu zadnjega studijskega albuma ‘ROOM SERVICE’, se pod žaromete vrača ena največjih švedskih pop zasedb - ROXETTE.

Na glasbeno sceno se vračajo z novim albumom ‘CHARM SCHOOL’, na katerem je 12 skladb ‘posodobljene odlične Roxette glasbe’, med katerimi sta uvodna pop energična ‘WAY OUT’ in zadnja grenko sladka skladba ‘SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD’.
. . . . .
Prvič sta se MARIE FREDRIKSSON in PER GESSLE zopet združila in zapela skladbi ‘IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE’ in ‘THE LOOK’ na Perovi amsterdamski turneji ‘PARTY CRASHER’. Še preden so to izvedeli oboževalci, pa so se  Roxette v polnem obsegu vrnili kot glavni nastopajoči na turneji ‘NIGHT OF THE PROMS’ pred več kot 600 tisoč obiskovalci v Belgiji, Nemčiji in na Nizozemskem. Doma na Švedskem so vse od pomladi do jeseni 2010 nadaljevali z delom. Na vrhuncu svojega ustvarjanja so posneli mnogo izvrstnih skladb, zato je bila izbira velika. Čutna balada ‘IN MY OWN WAY’ je, na primer, ponovno odkrit dragulj iz leta 1984, ko so bile sanje o mednarodni prepoznavnosti le sanje.

Album so posneli na jugu Švedske in v Stockholmu skupaj z Clarencem Öfwermanom in Cristofferjem Lundquistom, ki sta poleg Marie in Pera poskrbela za produkcijski del. ‘CHARM SCHOOL’ je izjemen povratek, ki se je oblikoval po desetletnih preizkušnjah in izzivih. Ali, kot poje Marie v eni najbolj tipičnih skladb na albumu: “NOBENA NE USPE SAMA. (op.: ‘NO ONE MAKES IT ON HER OWN’).”
 

2011 album from the Swedish Pop duo. 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 with 12 songs that are best described as "updated classic Roxette". The chances that this would ever happen looked slim when Marie Fredriksson in the autumn of 2002 was diagnosed with a brain tumor. But Marie managed to defeat the illness, and during 2009, the pieces gradually fell together. The album's first single is the extremely infectious groove-master "She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)". Charm School has everything that has made Roxette one of the world's most 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.
