Capitol Germany promotes “The Change”
Written by Judith on November 25, 2004 to Marie Fredriksson.
VIENNA - Marie Fredriksson’s album “The Change” was released on November 15th in Germany and since then Capitol Music Germany hasn’t saved any effort to promote it.
Last week top radio stations in Germany, such as SWR3, NDR2 and WDR2, featured “The Change” as album of the week. SWR3 played a song from the album every evening and the host read a part of the lyrics in German. This radio station has also reviewed the album in an article on their website. “Obviously, it’s been worth for Marie to do without her Roxette colleague, the softly-washed Per Gessle”, the article says, “besides real rock, Marie brings all kind of sensitive songs, like in ’A Table in The Sun’”. In addition, WDR2 introduced the album in WDR “Westzeit” and WDR2 “Soundfiles.”
Today, various German TV channels have reported about the documentary broadcast yesterday by Swedish channel TV4, showing parts of the documentary in programs like “Leute Heute” (“People Today” - ZDF), “Brisant” (“Explosive” - ARD) or “Exclusiv” (RTL). ARD will run today’s “Brisant” tomorrow at 10:03 CET.

I’m happy that MARIE is doing well abroad, though I’m in a little shock because of MARIE’s documentary.

Well, it does take a little more than some snippets on TV to do well, don’t you think? ;-)

@ncurran: Huh? What do you mean with that? Of the 15 articles I can see on the news page, 9 of them are about Marie....

@ above
Do you think there’ll be another battle between the Marie fans and the Per fans? Over this news item?

This must be the first time Daily Roxette has written the right city in the news.
When Tevensso writes something he writes Stockholm only cause Aftonbladet wrote it or Halmstad only cause Hallandsposten wrote it. You schould write the city that you are in yourself. Quite weird that Tev do not know that.

so what now? we will complain about the cities? I guess there wasn’t anything else to complain about *rolls eyes*

thanks for the link.....and i can actually understand a lot of what she is saying....pity its not the whole documentary and a clearer sound, and i might actually understand it all.
quagmir said on November 27, 2004 09:16:
living near the German border helps... anyway hope the German TV will show the whole documentary, cos in France we won’t get it
Starrox said on November 27, 2004 09:22:
I wouldn’t count on it, I guess those snippets are all we’ll get...
Mambo said on November 27, 2004 12:12:
Thanks for the link. And i know about the border thing in the netherlands it’s the same as in france

..uuh yeah that was a really stressy evening...recording all these programmes..ZDF was sort of broken here that day and I have really bad quality now..Sad was also that they tried to make it all even more exciting than it already was...they said that Marie collapsed during a performance.....how stupid is that...? ? And they also mentioned that the Roxette-circus is over now though Marie didn’t mention anything about Roxettes-future in the whole documentary (if I wasn’t totally death)
Anyway...it’s great that they made promotion here in Germany but I still hate the way, reporters are working!!!

@CRIZ: if I’m not mistaken, MARIE mentions ROXETTE at the beginning of the documentary. Though I don’t know what was the context.
CRIZ said on November 27, 2004 13:28:
@Auryte: she talked about the planned Roxette-Tour for autumn 2002 and she was really looking forward to it.
Judith (moderator) said on November 27, 2004 19:19:
she also says she felt so lonely during Rox promo (90ies, before Micke), that Per had Åsa etc..
CRIZ said on November 28, 2004 21:08:
WOW...Marie just made it into the german Listeners -Radio-Charts from Jump-Radio from 0 to 3 !! Yippieh...voting makes fun... ;D

Nice to see an article more biased towards Marie’s side on TDR....though not a surprise with Judith as the author :)
