TDR presents “The Change”
Written by tevensso on October 7, 2004 to Marie Fredriksson.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
The artwork that will appear on the cover of Marie Fredriksson’s forthcoming album, “The Change,” was revealed today by Capitol Records, who will be releasing the album on Oct. 27 in Sweden.
The lead single off “The Change” is “2:nd Chance” which hit the stores in Sweden this week. “It feels like a victory having made ’The Change’,” Marie comments.
The documentary The Daily Roxette mentioned previously will be aired on TV4 November 24 at 21:00 CET. The one-hour long documentary, produced by Anette Beijer, will show images of the recording of the album in her studio at home, private recordings shot by Micke Bolyos, exclusive performances of some of the new tracks, as well as an interview with Marie done in late summer, where Marie explains, among other things, how much her life has changed since she was diagnosed with cancer.
The tracklist of “The Change”:
1. The Change
2. 2:nd Chance
3. All You’ve Gotta Do Is Feel
4. April Snow
5. Love 2 Live
6. Mother
7. Many Times
8. All About You
9. The Good Life
10. Bad Moon
11. A Table in the Sun
12. The Change (orchestral version)

Nice, really simple indeed but a lot of meaning. The simpleness of the drawing is what makes it disturbing and really intriguing. 3 different Maries with 3 differents expressions and The Change is like blurried.

Great, i cannot wait! :-)
Did she draw it herself?

That’s true! It’s disturbing in the sense that the illness was so scary. However, i believe that the lack of straight lines and the abundance of crooked ones points to the ongoing change Marie has been going through.
It’s just like ripples in the water of a pond after a rock or any other object falls in it. After a few seconds of motion in the water, which would represent ’change’, the ripples subside and the water goes still once again; ’the change has been completed’.
Take care!

You are GREAT MARIE!!! I love so much. Nice paint of “THE CHANGE”, very simple.

The cover is very different, I like it.
Can’t wait for the tracklisting. Wonder how many tracks we’re going to get?
Kama said on October 7, 2004 14:18:
How many tracks? I think about 11, like it’s popular last time in music :)
thomasc said on October 7, 2004 14:45:
Is the documentary in Swedish or English? Or will there be English subtitles?
tevensso (moderator) said on October 7, 2004 14:48:
It’s on Swedish TV4 in Sweden... My guess would be that it’s in Swedish without subtitles. Although I’d appreciate subtitles since her Swedish is not the best...

So Finally the misterious tracklist is THE REAL TRACKLIST.
That’s interesting... and disturbing...
thomasc said on October 7, 2004 15:07:
YEY! The tracklist :-)
I really like the title - APRIL SNOW.
CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR THE ALBUM!!!!
Sascha said on October 7, 2004 15:11:
Really deep and interesting cover, matching the single! The tracklist isn’t exactly the same though. Some tracks differ. And Bad Moon is really on it! *curious about the final version*

Sascha, except for no1 and 2 being in reverse, the tracklist is exactly the same

This is so great! Maybe I’ll book a flight to Sweden to see the documentary there so I’ll be able to see it :-)
@ Thomas: LOL! Are you talking about her ’Skånska’?
edit: I like the titles :-)
*running to the cd player to play Bad moon loud!*

BAD MOON finally on it - can’t believe it! This song is a masterpiece, even the demo!!!!! Can’t wait to hear it!!
roxtexanet said on October 7, 2004 16:29:
Woohoo, 11 new Marie songs (12 if you count the Orchestral version of “The Change” and I don’t...). I’m really happy to see that “Bad Moon” made the cut too, but I hope we’ll get to hear finished versions of some of the others (esp. “Do You Wanna Go With Me?” and “Remember”) too someday (maybe she’s saving them for Roxette (-; ).
I think the documentary is airing too late to be of much promotional value for the album, but better late than never.

Why do you write 2:nd instead of 2nd, dear TDR?:)
ncurran said on October 7, 2004 17:16:
cant wait...only a few weeks to go...well probably a month before i get my copy in the post, but anyway...great cover, and cant wait to here the songs. Thanks TDR again for the swift news update.

Dear Bunio, because that’s the way it’s written on the CD. See http://www.dailyroxette.com/image.php/554
Bunio said on October 7, 2004 17:35:
Dear roxeteer, thank you :) but i still think it is strange...
rox-kuryliw said on October 7, 2004 18:02:

rox-kuryliw said on October 7, 2004 18:05:
As an Artist myself, The cover is beautiful and so personal. We have at last an album of emotion.

I always knew Marie’s solo work is a window over to her heart but like this... *absolutely speachless* Thank you Marie for the very much of you you’re sharing with us.
Vixzter said on October 7, 2004 18:50:
cover is cool :) i’m assuming we’re not getting subtitles on the documentary?
Judith (moderator) said on October 7, 2004 13:38:
the drawing doesn’t have many lines/paint, it’s simple.. and yet so disturbing and.. so full of meaning and feelings. Amazing!
