New Gyllene Tider single out in January
Written by tevensso on December 27, 2004 to Gyllene Tider.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - Both Aftonbladet and Expressen have met Per Gessle to summarize 2004. In Aftonbladet Per says he will be back in 2006 with new material, “so everyone else should cancel that summer” he says laughing. Expressen writes that a new Gyllene Tider single will be released in January, and that the old albums possibly will be repackaged and put out again, without bonus tracks. Also the documentary DVD mentioned earlier, after that Gyllene Tider goes back to the back burner again. “Quite honestly I’m really sick of Gyllene Tider now and it’s good if that group gets some rest. I’m a solo or a duo man.”
Per may instead record another solo album in English, as he needs to find a way to renew himself. “I’m sure an album will be out in 2005, I can’t rest much.”
Per Gessle has never experienced a fever like 2004, he’s sold over 43 million albums, but nothing beats the tour this summer. “I’ve never seen a fever like this, not in any context. It’s totally unique and will be hard to beat, for all of us.” Per says.
Update: The new single is “Jag borde förstås vetat bättre” with the b-sides being the T&A demos of “Speciell” and “Tuffa tider”. The sleeve will be something really special: a sun-bleached photo from 1966 of the Gessle family’s red brick house in Furet in Halmstad, with a little tyke standing in front of it wearing yellow pajamas “eagerly awaiting the Dumle lollipop of the day.”

Hope on the next single we get that vanilla, chocolate song, or whatever it’s called...
And let’s hope for a sequel to TWATG in 2006!
With Marie on vocals for one or two songs... like on ’I’ll be Alright.’
He says he is a ’solo or a DUO man’ which is hardly a pessimistic statement...
I don’t think he means ’Lonely Boys II’ or an album with him and Tom Jones...

Maybe even more GT stuff, hopefully also Heartland remasterd..and more Per solo stuff would be awesome!!!

MORE GT STUFF?:) i think they beat any records....
“DUO man” that’s good news! Roxette must come back!
And 3rd single from F5F? hoping for Speciell

I don’t want a TWATG 2 in 2006. :( Per is tired of GT and I am tired of Per. :) Well, but maybe that will have changed until 2006. :P
I don’t care much about Roxette as a music group, since I really “grew” and appreciate Marie’s music a lot more. Actually I had dreamed about a little Roxette comeback in 2006 just to see that she is really fine and feels up to it, but as I said many times before: she will need a lot more time and I am ready to give her all the time she needs. If she doesn’t want to do it - well fine. ;)

Ah, huh, errr, Per? Remember this girl who likes singing? ah what was her name? Ah yes! Marie! Remember her!? And that thing called Roxette. Just one question: When???
I don’t think it’s Per’s fault or anybody’s fault. It’s the same as this past two years TIME. We have to wait a little longer. She proved she can sing again but Roxette represents a lot of energy (and exposure) she may be able to gain during the new year or more.
Just yesterday i was listening (and falling in love again with) The World According... It’s really good! So picture The World... + Mazarin + whatever in his mind = something very promising and he deserves it.
I don’t think it’s the end of Roxette. He says:
I’m a solo or a Duo man.
As always time will tell, hope soon.

After reading this, I still think there is a chance that Roxette may return some time. But anyway, a solo album from Per in English would be great as well!
Roxvet said on December 27, 2004 12:32:
Hey!!, hey!!, hey!! People!!!!
Don’t be pessimist!!!
Do you remember Per saying the truth or clear things? I don’t remember it.
I think......
1.- The latest news from Marie: She’s on vacations
2.- Per words: “I’m a solo or a duo man” ; he will be back in 2006 with new material
So people, I think Per is going to write new songs to Roxette. If Marie is not fit to sing with Roxette, he will record a solo album with those songs.
But I’m still thinking It will be a new Roxette’s album (maybe the last one) with or without tour.
Well, what do you think about what I’m saying?
Sorry for my english!

– Jag tror att det blir ett album under 2005. Jag är inte den som kan slå mig till ro.
So much for taking a year off... *g*

A new English solo-album would be fantastic !
Kiwein1 said on December 27, 2004 14:13:
@Starrox: Doesn’t that mean that he will try to record it under 2005 and release it 2006?
lawyer said on December 27, 2004 14:13:
Why not any Roxette stuff? Per now does not have much money problem, having over sold 43 Million copies more than Joyride even, he can take a chance to spend some money and release one good album, whatever type the album be,at least there are fans still living that will buy that album, and if Per can do song in English, Marie can make an album in English then what’s the problem with Roxette’s new album???
Judith (moderator) said on December 27, 2004 14:27:
43 million copies is all in all, NOT only GT..
Starrox said on December 27, 2004 14:33:
@Kiwein: *shrugs* But in any case, recording an album doesn’t qualify as “taking a year off” IMHO ;-)

A message to Per:
1st) Take a couple of months off.
2nd) Record some of your new English stuff in a solo album
3rd) A little summer-tour in Europe (Sweden, Germany and Spain, for instance) would do you no harm
4rth) Call your friend M.F. and ask her: hey, how are you? Are you in the mood?
5th) Record the best of your new material with that fantastic Swedish duo. Which was its name...?yes, I think it was Roxette or something like this.
6th) MAKE US HAPPY!!!
PS: Of course all this is a joke, but it will help Per know how a lot of fans feel...if he ever reads this message, which I doubt... :P

Never trust a popstar talking about two years in the future....;)
Where is the link from the aftonbladet article?? Didn’t find any summarizing there. “Only” an artists-list of “goods and bads” in 2004. Or was it that what you meant?
Starrox said on December 27, 2004 17:01:
The Aftonbladet article isn’t available online (yet?)...
wonderful_balloon said on December 27, 2004 17:03:
He said exactly: “I’m sure an album will be OUT IN 2005, I can’t rest much.”
That means - a new solo album will be released in 2005!!!!! :D
tevensso (moderator) said on December 27, 2004 18:05:
I doubt the Aftonbladet article will come online at all. It was in the paper edition on Sunday.
qrox said on December 27, 2004 18:13:
Wow!!!!
Great news!!!
I love you Per!!!!
I want more GT!!! Yes!!!
More DVDs, more Singles, more Reeditions (I like them), more Gessle!!!!

cover.. special and fun I bet ;)
Starrox said on December 27, 2004 18:35:
Interesting choice, that’s one of the songs I really didn’t expect to become a single! But I won’t complain as long as the b-sides don’t change... ;-)
eduard33 said on December 27, 2004 18:46:
speciell (demo) & en english solo??? What a beautiful begining of the new year!!
Rox-Van said on December 27, 2004 19:16:
Cool for Per! ;-) ... but which will be the destination of Roxette???... :-S
Kiwein1 said on December 27, 2004 10:31:
Another GT single? *yawn*
Well, good to hear that 2005 will definitely be a year off for Per. Time to save money for 2006. ;)
And honestly..his words are quite clear, aren’t they? Roxette won’t ever come back.
