About Roxette: The Swedish Kings and Queens of Pop

For over three decades, Roxette have been synonymous with infectious melodies, soaring vocals, and an unwavering knack for crafting irresistible pop anthems. Hailing from Halmstad, Sweden, the duo of Marie Fredriksson (vocals) and Per Gessle (vocals, guitar, songwriting) burst onto the international music scene in the late 1980s, quickly establishing themselves as a global phenomenon. Their unique blend of rock-infused pop, powerful ballads, and catchy, radio-friendly hooks resonated with audiences worldwide.

Roxette’s career is a tapestry woven with chart-topping success and critical acclaim. They achieved their breakthrough in the United States with the single “The Look” in 1989, followed swiftly by the global smash hit “Listen to Your Heart.” However, it was the ubiquitous “It Must Have Been Love,” famously featured in the film Pretty Woman, that cemented their status as international superstars. This hauntingly beautiful ballad, along with the energetic “Joyride,” propelled their 1991 album Joyride to multi-platinum success.

Their musical style is characterised by its accessibility and broad appeal. Per Gessle’s songwriting prowess shines through in his ability to craft memorable melodies and relatable lyrics, while Marie Fredriksson’s distinctive, powerful voice added an emotional depth and raw energy that became Roxette’s signature. Whether delivering heart-wrenching power ballads or upbeat, guitar-driven rockers, Roxette possessed an uncanny ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level.

Throughout their illustrious career, Roxette have released numerous successful albums, selling over 80 million records worldwide. Their live performances have always been a testament to their enduring passion and the electrifying chemistry between Fredriksson and Gessle. Even after facing personal challenges, their dedication to music and their fans remained unwavering, culminating in a series of highly anticipated reunion tours. Roxette’s legacy is one of pure pop brilliance, a soundtrack to life for millions, and a testament to the enduring power of a well-crafted song.
