“One Wish” video to premiere tomorrow on Swedish TV4
Written by tevensso on September 18, 2006 to Video.
STOCKHOLM - With editing and final production of the new Jonas Åkerlund music video for “One Wish” completed now, the video will be premiered – as have other Roxette videos – on TV4’s “Nyhetsmorgon” morning news and talk show tomorrow (Tuesday morning) at 06:54 CET. Per will be there at 07:44. Please note that these times are preliminary and are usually not 100% correct, besides the fact that they are in conflict with each other.
In today’s editions of Aftonbladet, Roxette’s newly released single scores two out of five “plus signs” from reviewer Markus Larsson. “Easily digested radio pop” is his take on the song. Larsson normally reviews heavy metal and hard rock music for the paper. He had expected a powerful pop-bomb á la “Listen To Your Heart” or “Goodbye To You.” “All we got was a ’really…?”
Other news in Aftonbladet is that Roxette will be guests on SVT’s gala “Världens barn,” as previously mentioned, and on October 20, Per and Marie travel to Germany for promotion. and we also get a date for the performance on “Bingolotto” - Nov. 4. Per will travel to London for promotion and Spain is being considered.
Maybe the biggest piece of news is that the new material will be released in the US around December. It’s is so far unknown if Roxette will travel to the States to help with promotion.

Goodbye to you??? And Markus Larsson likes nothing but the heaviest metal so there’s no wonder he doesn’t like this.

HOORAY! Roxette are coming to the UK!- Are they following me or something?
Kiwein1 said on September 18, 2006 15:53:
It seems only Per is coming..(wouldn’t be too good if this applies all the other PR dates as well)

Very strange that he mentions ” Goodbye to You” as one of Roxettes biggest hits..could it be that he knows nothing about Roxette??
PerAndren said on September 18, 2006 16:02:
Yeah, very strange in deed. Goodbye to you is truly a forgotten song anyway.
But I have to say I agree about One Wish. I personally believe the melody of the chorus is too weak.

“Eurodiscoeffekterna påminner om Basshunters hemska mellanstadiepop.”
hahaha, Basshunter, this comment is a bit too far fetched, don’t you think? I think we’ve already discussed the fact that the electronic disco parts are nothing outof place in the song as it was meant to stem from the 80ties...
Regarding the video - really, really can’t wait!

Jag känner en båt...ROFL..Basshunter??
What about Mr. Wikström from HP...did he write anything already?
I love One Wish!! And the typical Roxette effect looks like that: Song starts - me> starting to grin...3 minutes of happiness! –Repeat...:D

I would score ONE out of five “plus signs”... The worst song I have ever heard :(
Gyllene25 said on September 18, 2006 16:53:
I like the song.. okey.. this is no bohemian rhapsody but roxette is about having fun..Especially in this kind of up-tempo track. Overall a great gum-pop song with cool and great synthesizer sounds.. Missing those “crashing guitars” we heard in sleeping in my car and harleys..(is this perhaps too “clean” and straight forward?) but digging this song anyway :) I give it 4 out of 5.

What would be even more fantastic would be if Marie came along as well to London!! How is that going to work?? Hmm

In my opinion, the reviewers rating is very generous.
#If I had one wish, what would it be?...#

Ever.

It says that the video will be shown at 6.55 and then an interview with Per 7.44!

Take care!

@Elin - actually it says so:
7.44 PER GESSLE berättar om comebacken tillsammans med Marie Fredriksson. Premiärvisning av ROXETTES nya låt och video.
I think there is going to be some interview (cool!) and then the video will follow!

I’m tired of so many people complaining about everything.
We should all be thrilled that Roxette are even releasing a new single and album.
“One Wish” is a typical Roxette style pop smash hit. This song has everything. It has the catchy melody, the chorus is brilliant and it’s a feel good song that just wants to make you starting singing “hey, hey, hey”.
Enough with the complaining already! Just enjoy this brilliance Roxette is bringing back to us after all these years. They need our support, not your complaints.
Go request “One Wish” where ever you live around the world, let’s get Roxette back on the airwaves like it should be!
Ciao. – Mark

I believe he mentions “Goodbye to You” in a very sarcastic way. Come on, he says the effects remember of Basshunter :D
I actually enjoy Basshunter’s Boten Anna a little more than “1 Wish”, at least you know what it is supposed to be :P

STeven and Mysery: what are your fave Rox-songs...Do you have any?
freddyhardest said on September 18, 2006 20:58:
Only Per going to London and, perhaps, Spain. You can keep waiting for the Roxette comeback...

I think OW will be a hit!! At least for me! At least in my neiborhood!
Roxrider_USA said on September 18, 2006 22:30:
Any ideas of which label will release the material here ?
Interesting to know if Per managed to iron out a deal with Capitol after all, or if he did what said he’d do if that deal could not be reached and just signed with another label.
Take care!
