were one of the biggest global pop acts of the 1980s, selling over 75
million records around the world and dominating the charts with songs
like "The Look," "Listen to Your Heart," "Joyride," and "It Must Have
Been Love." Hailing from Halmstad, Sweden, Roxette were a duo featuring
vocalist Marie Fredriksson and songwriter, vocalist, and
multi-instrumentalist Per Gessle. Fredriksson and Gessle first met in
the late '70s, when she was a member of the pop combo Strul & Ma Mas
Barn and he played with Gyllene Tider, one of Sweden's biggest groups
of the late '70s and early '80s. In 1981, after Fredriksson's group
broke up, she joined Gyllene Tider as backing vocalist for a concert
tour, and later worked with them in the studio in the same capacity. In
1984, Fredriksson released her first solo album, Het Vind (Hot Wind) and
Gessle contributed a song for the sessions; the same year, Gyllene
Tider recorded their only English-language album, The Heartland Cafe,
and Gessle once again invited Fredriksson to contribute to the sessions.
For the American release, Gyllene Tider's American label, Capitol
Records, edited the 11-song album down to a six-track EP, and shortened
the title to Heartland.
Capitol also felt the name Gyllene Tider
might not register with U.S. listeners, so the group adopted the name
Roxette, taken from a song by British pub rock icons Dr. Feelgood. The
Heartland Cafe proved to be Gyllene Tider'd last album, and Gessle
decided it was finally time for him and Fredriksson to record a project
together. As Roxette, they cut a single in 1986, "Neverending Love,"
which was a major hit in Sweden, and a number of songs Fredriksson and
Gessle had ear-marked for her third solo album became the basis of the
first proper Roxette album, Pearls of Passion.
In hopes of
greater international success, Roxette wrote and recorded their material
in English, but while Pearls of Passion was a hit at home, Capitol/EMI
didn't bother to release the album in the United States. The same fate
initially befell 1988's Look Sharp! until an American student studying
in Sweden brought a copy of the album home to Minneapolis and persuaded a
DJ at a local radio station to give "The Look" a spin. The song clicked
with listeners, and soon Capitol rush-released Look Sharp! in the
United States; both "The Look" and "It Must Have Been Love" went to
number one on the singles charts, and the album went platinum,
establishing Roxette in the States and kickstarting their career in
Europe.
Their next album, 1991's Joyride, also went platinum in
America, and it was followed in 1992 by Tourism: Songs from Studios,
Stages, Hotel Rooms and Other Strange Places, a collection of material
recorded during the group's 1991 world tour. In 1994, Roxette released
Crash! Boom! Bang!, which was successful in Sweden and Europe but failed
to live up to the sales figures of their second and third albums in
America. In 1996, Roxette went on hiatus after recording a
Spanish-language album, as Gyllene Tider staged a reunion tour and
Gessle released a solo album. Roxette returned to duty in 1999 with the
album Have a Nice Day, and Room Service followed in 2001, with the duo
making a high-profile appearance as part of the Eurovision Song Contest.
However,
in the fall of 2002, Roxette was forced to curtail their activities
when Fredriksson was diagnosed with a brain tumor; over the next several
years, she focused on her recovery and recorded solo material, while
Gessle also pursued solo projects and staged another Gyllene Tider
reunion. In 2008, Gessle surprised fans at a concert in Amsterdam when
he brought out Fredriksson to sing several Roxette hits, and in 2009,
the duo staged a comeback tour that sold out halls all across Europe and
the Netherlands. With Fredriksson back in fighting shape, Roxette
returned to the recording studio, and 2011's Charm School was their
first album of new material in ten years, followed by another successful
world concert tour.
