About Roxette

Roxette, the Swedish pop-rock phenomenon, emerged from the vibrant music scene of Halmstad in the late 1980s, quickly carving out a niche for themselves with their distinctive blend of catchy pop hooks and heartfelt rock sensibilities. Fronted by the charismatic duo of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, the band burst onto the international stage with their 1988 album, Look Sharp!, which spawned their first global smash hit, “The Look.” This success was swiftly followed by an avalanche of chart-topping singles and critically acclaimed albums that solidified their status as international superstars.

Their unique alchemy lay in Fredriksson’s powerful, soulful vocals, capable of both tender vulnerability and soaring exultation, perfectly complemented by Gessle’s masterful songwriting, which expertly crafted infectious melodies and relatable lyrics. This synergy produced a string of enduring hits that have become ingrained in the global music consciousness. From the electrifying energy of “Listen to Your Heart” and the stadium-filling anthem “Joyride,” to the poignant balladry of “It Must Have Been Love” – a track that gained even greater prominence through its inclusion in the iconic film Pretty Woman – Roxette demonstrated an unparalleled ability to craft songs that resonated with a vast and diverse audience. Their music possesses an inherent optimism and a universal appeal, seamlessly blending pop accessibility with a genuine rock edge. Throughout their illustrious career, Roxette have sold over 75 million records worldwide, earned numerous awards, and embarked on sold-out tours across continents, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of popular music. Their live performances are renowned for their energetic delivery and the palpable chemistry between Marie and Per, a testament to their enduring artistry and the deep connection they share with their fans.
