Per reveals new album - by Marie
Written by tevensso on April 5, 2006 to Marie Fredriksson.
STOCKHOLM - 
In an interview published in Madrid today with the Spanish-language Europa Press, Per claims that Marie Fredriksson will release a new Swedish album in May.
Per also comments about the new songs that they will record for the Roxette Greatest Hits album due out this fall. “We will record one, maybe two new songs, it all depends on Marie, who doesn’t want to work too much,” he tells Europa Press. “But she is really looking forward to recording with Roxette again,” he adds. “Marie’s life has totally changed, she sees life through different eyes,” he explains, and stresses that she has never stopped singing and recording music. He says she will release a new album in Swedish in May.
Per also reveals that he has already started to write the first new song for the forthcoming Roxette anniversary album.
Marie’s manager, Marie Dimberg, didn’t confirm the news about her new album, though. “Nothing is final and nothing is official yet,” she tells TDR.

Fantastic! This makes me more excited than any of Pers projects or the “1 or 2” new songs we might get from Roxette this year. I cant wait!

Waw! That would be very cool! I love Marie’s voice and especially when she sings in Swedish. I hope this is true... ^_^

Whoa! Didn’t see that coming!! Always fun to be a Roxette fan, you just never know what they’re going to surprise us with. And May! Happy Birthday to me (-:

If I understand it correctly (my Spanish is not that great...) there might also be a new video [for Roxette], it all depends on Marie’s health.
Great news! :-)

AWESOME!! I kinda expected this...!! But I simply CAN’T wait for ANOTHER Marie album...!!!!!

Cooool! A new rox-related album every 6 months! We’re becoming spoiled! ;-)
I didn’t expect a new solo album before 2007. I’m curious if she switched to her pre-change sound or something completely different. Still hoping for more than 1 or 2 Roxette songs though!

I didn’t manage to get all the releases of SOAP (singles, remixes, digipack)... Now this.
I think I need an extra job. If someone is interested I can type and use Excel. Contact me if you need a secretary (LOL).
Edit: By the way, do you know that Spanish article is 100% reliable? Spanish reports where not totally accurated in the past, do you remember? I don’t wanna be negative, but it wouldn’t be the first time they are wrong.

No the article isn’t all accurate, they say that Marie still has a tumor for instance. And d&d has not confirmed that this album will be out in May.
roxtexanet said on April 5, 2006 16:05:
May seems a little soon, but then it’s not like they’ll be mounting a massive promotion campaign for Marie’s album either, so it’s possible... in any case, I hope Marie does ALL of the writing this time...
CRIZ said on April 5, 2006 16:08:
May?? That is really soon! Well..let’s just wait and see. I’m already impressed!!!
...she doesn’t want to work too much??? But is already recording a new soloalbum again?? Huh?? Isn’t that work too?? I’m confused...

That was really great but when it true!! i´m very sceptical!!
Grasi said on April 5, 2006 17:48:
Wow!!! I hope she releases the album next or in my birthday! (that´s may 23 :P)
The article also says they want to film a new video for Roxette and a tour is possible (probably they meant a promo trip)...
”...explicó Gessle, puntualizando que sí grabarán un nuevo vídeo con el sello Roxette y esperan que pueda haber una gira.”
Let´´s hope it´s true!!!!!

i’m dissapointed :( 1 roxette song on it’s 20 anniversary compared to full solo album looks rather silly. so let’s cut the crap and face it: maybe marie is no longer interesed in roxette?
Debora said on April 5, 2006 20:08:
“but she is really looking forward to recording with Roxette again” these words say a lot. I really hope so!
And yes, the article says that Marie still has a tumor...
Bunio said on April 5, 2006 20:43:
“it all depends on Marie, who doesn�t want to work too much”- these words say a lot, too. maybe a little too much.
