About Roxette: A Legacy of Global Pop Supremacy

Formed in Halmstad, Sweden, in 1986 by the late, great Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, Roxette quickly rose from local sensations to international superstars, leaving an indelible mark on the global pop landscape. Their unique blend of infectious melodies, powerful rock-infused anthems, and heartfelt ballads, all fronted by Fredriksson’s unmistakable and emotive vocals and Gessle’s sharp songwriting, resonated with audiences worldwide. The duo’s breakthrough came in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a golden era where their singles dominated charts and their albums sold millions.

Roxette’s career is punctuated by an impressive string of chart successes. They achieved global fame with their 1988 album Look Sharp!, which spawned the iconic hit “The Look.” This was swiftly followed by the enduring ballad “Listen to Your Heart” and the global phenomenon that was “It Must Have Been Love,” a track immortalised by its inclusion in the beloved film Pretty Woman. Their subsequent albums, including Joyride (1991) and Crash! Boom! Bang! (1994), further solidified their status, delivering more chart-topping singles. Throughout their career, Roxette consistently demonstrated an innate ability to craft songs that were both commercially successful and artistically credible, earning them critical acclaim alongside their massive fanbase. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Their musical style can best be described as pop-rock, characterised by shimmering guitar riffs, driving drum beats, synthesiser textures, and polished production. However, it’s the emotional depth and universal themes explored in their lyrics, coupled with Fredriksson’s unparalleled vocal prowess and Gessle’s melodic genius, that truly set them apart. Even after Fredriksson’s passing, the legacy of Roxette continues to inspire, with their music remaining a staple on radio stations and in the hearts of fans who cherish their timeless hits.

Notable Songs:

• “The Look”
• “Listen to Your Heart”
• “It Must Have Been Love”
• “Joyride”
• “Spending My Time”
• “Dangerous”
• “How Do You Do!”
• “Dressed for Success”
