New Roxette single released
Written by tevensso on June 15, 2006 to Releases.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
In all quietness and secrecy a new single by Roxette has been released. This single is called “The Rox Medley” and consists of a medley, newly remixed by Clarence Öfwerman, Christoffer Lundquist and Jimmy Monell (Shooting Star) at Christoffer’s studio the Aerosol Grey Machine.
The songs included in the medley are “The Look,” “Joyride,” “Listen to Your Heart,” “Dangerous,” “It Must Have Been Love” and “Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave).”
This is, however, a radio release only, and according to the info sheet distributed with the promo CD, something to start the Rox20 celebration with. The record’s call number is CDPRO 4392.
Update Jun. 16: This track will be publicly available as the B-side of the new single this fall.

these are album versions only remestared by C&C&J? or completely new mixes?

Sad fans won’t hear or be able to buy it. But cool idea for sure :)

Guau!
Have these fonts ever been used before in a rox release?
Maybe the ROXBOX will follow the style in the artwork of this promo.
This is the first release in wich the word ROX is used to refer to something related with roxette. Am I wrong?
How long will it take to have this available for download in mp3 format?
I’m so excited!!!

Wow!!!
Only the old hits, hmm specially the US hits, but I think it will be cool anyway.

Oh my god! oh my god! oh my god!
This was totally unexpected!! Great way to start to celebrate.
And weldone for the complete secrecy :)
So Happy!
Arlanda said on June 15, 2006 16:12:
No, of course you aren’t the only one who’s happy dear ;)

where can we listen to this single? is it out already?
Rox-Van said on June 15, 2006 16:22:
I like the idea, I hope to listen to the finished remix in some local radio... ;)

They are totally fresh remixes. They sound modern. I’ll see if I can manage a snippet.
ChrisWilliams said on June 15, 2006 16:35:
Never before have I complained but, really, teasing fans with snippets isn’t typical moderator behaviour (and being an ABBA fan, I’ve come into contact with some pretty difficult people).

“Teasing people with snippets isn’t really moderator behavior”???

Please stay on topic... can we have a day without flaming. It’s a happy day why ruined it? Snippet it’s more than nothing right!? We’ve been given snippets of the new songs in internet since day one, so why this time a snippet is no good?
Is it too much to ask?

Urm why the HELL can’t i swear on this forum...?????????? This is BLOODY AWESOME....!!!
Roxryder-V2002 said on June 15, 2006 16:44:
Yay Joyride sounds nice!! Modern but joyride!!
Nice job! And it’s very Shooting Starish too!
Now that i hear it again... AMAZING the way they mix The Look with Joyride!! :) Forgot totally about The Look the first time and listen only to Joyride!! Hats out!

“I’ll see if I can manage a snippet” was the phrase I disagreed with. Either you offer a snippet or don’t, instead of saying you’ll see if you can manage or bother to make one.
In any case, as a representative of TDR, I imagine you’re supplied with promos etc by EMI with the intention that it’ll be publicised on this website. I very much doubt you’re sent promos for you own enjoyment.
Anyway, I see you’ve added a snippet, so who am I to complain?
ChrisWilliams said on June 15, 2006 16:46:
Sorry, guys, for putting a bit of a downer on the proceedings. It’s a great release and I hope it’ll help to bring Roxette back into the limelight for their 20th birthday party :)

EMI does NOT provide us with records on a general basis.

You’re right onlywhenidream - the UK wont get it ! What a cool and unexpected surprise !

Hey Thomas,
Do you know how long the medely is? Is it the full songs mixed together or bits and pieces?
I can’t wait to hear the clip! I’m at work right now and I can’t!
Thanks for uploading the snip Thomas, you rock.:)

GREAT!
That reminds me of Roxette medley by Unlimited Beat :)
I really really hope this single will be released commercially after all. Sooner or later.
tevensso (moderator) said on June 15, 2006 17:02:
The medley is 4.43 long and it’s not the full songs.
chrisjankunas said on June 15, 2006 17:03:
It would have to be very very very chipmunk to fit them into that amount of time ;)

Anyone knows if this promo is only for Sweden???
arnie said on June 15, 2006 17:13:
