More about Roxette

Roxette, the Swedish pop rock duo that captured the hearts of millions worldwide, was formed in 1986 by vocalist Marie Fredriksson and guitarist Per Gessle. Their blend of catchy melodies, memorable hooks, and Fredriksson's powerful vocals quickly propelled them to international fame. Roxette's breakthrough came with their second album, 'Look Sharp!' (1988), featuring hits like 'The Look' and 'Listen to Your Heart,' both of which climbed to the top of the charts in the United States. The early '90s saw the duo maintaining their global popularity with albums like 'Joyride' (1991), which included the titular track and 'Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave).' Despite facing challenges, including Fredriksson's health issues, Roxette continued to record and perform, adapting their sound to the changing musical landscape. Their legacy includes over 75 million records sold worldwide, making them one of Sweden's most successful musical exports after ABBA. Marie Fredriksson's passing in 2019 marked the end of an era for Roxette, but the duo's music continues to resonate with fans old and new, a testament to their enduring appeal and significant impact on pop music.
