Video for “One Wish” to include some animation
Written by CRIZ on August 30, 2006 to Video.
STOCKHOLM - 
Aftonbladet reports about the recording of the new video for “One Wish” today.
Marie explains that she is longing to release this song. “We’ve gotten tons of mail from fans who have asked when the new songs will be released and how they sound,” she says.
Marie also speaks of her friendship with Per. “Our friendship is getting better and better every year that passes by. It’s been such incredible fun to work with this gang again. Roxette is so big and intense.”
Regarding “One Wish,” Marie says that it’s a classical Gessle-song, “easy to hum and at the same time with a damned nice beat. You can’t get the melody out of your head.”
Per explains he thought it would feel strange to do something with Roxette again, “but when Marie and I met, we went straight back to our old groove. Marie made some coffee, and I played hockey,” said Per with a smile.
The video was shot in Filmhuset’s basement at Gärdet, Stockholm. “Since the song is released [in conjuction with] our 20th anniversary, the new video will contain much from our older videos,” explains Per. “Some parts of the video will be animated,” reveals Jonas Åkerlund.
Per also comments about another US #1: “We don’t feel we have to sell one million records this time around. It’s just cool to do this again.”
Roxette will be on a promotion tour this fall, including the shows “Bingolotto” and the “Världens barn” (Children of the World) gala in Sweden.
Norwegian newspaper VG also reported about Roxette today. When they enquire if there will be a new Roxette album, Marie explains they haven’t decided yet. “We take one thing at a time. Right now I draw a lot, and I’m planning a new exhibition, but it’s not impossible,” she says.

Bingolotto and Världens Barn will be Playback. As all other Roxette tv-gigs. Just hope for some “real” promo gigs. Like the one in Barcelona during RS.

And....the second picture is making me think! .....
Is Per imitating Michael Jackson with that glove? or
Will Per be a magician in the video?

“It’s a classical Gessle-song. Easy to hum and at the same time a damned nice beat. You can’t get the melody out of your head.” I think that by ’a damned nice beat’ Marie means it’s a dance song... :( I really hope I’m wrong!!!

I love the clothes, and green colours as well. Can´t wait to hear One Wish, can´t wait to watch them on TV again. I´m sure there will be some special live show... :D

It’s not a dance song, but Marie’s comment in Swedish is hard to translate correctly. It could also mean it has a lot of “go”. :)
abysmo said on August 30, 2006 18:46:
Now Rox Box doesn´t exciting me anymore. I want to hear “One Wish”, “Reveal”, see video, see TV shows, see them back in the business. Yesssssssss.
ally77 said on August 30, 2006 18:59:
I can’t wait to see the video also! Looks good!
Judith (moderator) said on August 30, 2006 19:18:
I guess they will show parts of other old videos on the background.. ?
chrisjankunas said on August 30, 2006 19:22:
It sounds exciting. Wanna hear this song and see the video !!!! 20 days til radio release date !!!
gyllene_tjej said on August 30, 2006 19:46:
@Judith - you mean like copy and paste? :)))) I hope NOT! I’m game for an interesting summary of their video history. We’ll soon find out what it is like, fingers crossed that the clip turns out good!
That’s the news to cling to for the time being!
Judith (moderator) said on August 30, 2006 19:52:
lol not copy and paste, but Per has that green background, and I suppose old Rox videos will be shown there, mixed with the new one.. I’m about to update the article with the full translation, then you’ll know what I mean :)
Baby-C said on August 30, 2006 20:36:
Please just don’t mix things up... it says “PR-tour”. No mentioning of any real gigs what so ever, so I’d keep calm for a while more. The only thing they mention is the “Världens Barn” gala, and Bingolotto. Both will be playback as usual for sure.
Judith (moderator) said on August 30, 2006 20:40:
so I’ve updated the article with a more extended translation and some info from Tcooh :)

New album? Marie says: “we take one thing at a time. Right now I draw a lot, and I’m planning a new exhibition, But It’s Not Impossible.”
Oh my God i love Marie !!!!!! i’m crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GT_85 said on August 30, 2006 21:17:
The video might be like madonnas “ray of light” which Åkerlund also made. That video also had a blue screen or whatever it’s called. At least I hope it’ll be like the Ray of light, very cool video. :)
