STOCKHOLM - Aftonbladet reports about the recording of the new video for "One Wish" today.


  Marie explains that she is longing to release this song. "We've gotten tons of mail from fans who have asked when the new songs will be released and how they sound," she says.


  Marie also speaks of her friendship with Per. "Our friendship is getting better and better every year that passes by. It's been such incredible fun to work with this gang again. Roxette is so big and intense."


  Regarding "One Wish," Marie says that it's a classical Gessle-song, "easy to hum and at the same time with a damned nice beat. You can't get the melody out of your head."


  Per explains he thought it would feel strange to do something with Roxette again, "but when Marie and I met, we went straight back to our old groove. Marie made some coffee, and I played hockey," said Per with a smile.


  The video was shot in Filmhuset's basement at Gärdet, Stockholm. "Since the song is released [in conjuction with] our 20th anniversary, the new video will contain much from our older videos," explains Per. "Some parts of the video will be animated," reveals Jonas Åkerlund.


  Per also comments about another US #1: "We don't feel we have to sell one million records this time around. It's just cool to do this again."


  Roxette will be on a promotion tour this fall, including the shows "Bingolotto" and the "Världens barn" (Children of the World) gala in Sweden.


  Norwegian newspaper VG also reported about Roxette today. When they enquire if there will be a new Roxette album, Marie explains they haven't decided yet. "We take one thing at a time. Right now I draw a lot, and I'm planning a new exhibition, but it's not impossible," she says.
