Written by Judith on October 5, 2007 to Marie Fredriksson and Releases. Source: d&d management.
STOCKHOLM - Marie Fredriksson will release a compilation at the end of November. The new greatest ballad hits will feature her most well-known ballads as well as two newly recorded songs, one of them being a Swedish version of "A Table in the Sun" (from the album "The Change".)
The Daily Roxette is happy to see that Marie surprises us yet again with new material. The sleeve and release date are TBA.

LOL - I think Marie and Per should enter the Guiness Book of World Records for the most amount of compilation/ greatest hits albums released. Sorry, but this does not excite me too much. Nice to get something *new* from Marie - but reading the front page news, it was not like how it used to be when you would read (for example in 2001) Roxette Serve Up Room Service...
ho hum.

Either it has been the old news, in the pagina littlemarie.net or published it for several days

................Yes, I am glad.....:(
We knows this kind of compilations. Old songs, old pictures and “rien” new. Yes, sorry... “A table in the sun” the first version from 2000.

Are most of Marie’s hits not ballads anyway? and there’s not exactly been much between her last GH and this one, so what exactly is the point of this release? I’ll still buy it though probably....but only cos its marie. And I’m looking forward to the new songs

Where is the point with this album?
Still sad!

The main point is probably to get in on the Christmas sales. But so what? We get new songs from Marie, and that is great!!

The so called “fans” are ALWAYS UNSATISFIED.
Go out and enjoy the life.Let Marie does what she want,and don’t buy the compilation if you don’t like it.
Marie: Many fans who DOESN’T post here and me love all your courage and all your INVALUABLE solo work!!!.You can do what you want!!!

It’s a fantastic news! A small step is a big step! The comeback must be big and later to join to Per and will released new Roxette album. I’m pleasure...

Nobody should complain, the fact that Marie is releasing new songs is good! Imagine what she’s been through! Every “small step” is great! This album will probably generate loads of publicity for Marie (and thus: Roxette) so that is great in any case!
I won’t be the first to buy the album, but I am happy to see that she is still active with regards to her musical career!

The fact that she still wants to make music ,can only make us happy!
Small steps but in the good direction.
Thank you Marie!

It’s great to know she’s at least recording two songs. In my case, as I only have got an album by Marie, that’s OK.
RoXoR said on October 5, 2007 21:12:
I think thats nice. At least something “new” from Marie. As I understand it, there won’t be new a new song but two old songs newly recorded. But thats fine, what about It must have been love in swedish ;)
Roxlander said on October 5, 2007 21:54:
I don’t know how is the phrase in English but this is the idea: you can see the half empty glass or the half full glass. For me nowing that Marie is doing at least a new song is good news. And that’s enough.

Great! Marie is back! I´m so happy!
I hope the new song sounds like DSR!!!!!!!

C’mon, there was no loads of publicity when she released “Min bäste vän” (which was a whole new album). Then, it will be even less publicity about a compilation of old songs. I don’t know why the people talk about the ’little steps’ in her life. She has released 2 full albums since she recovered from cancer. Where have you all been?

“She has released 2 full albums since she recovered from cancer. Where have you all been?”
The Change - 50% part of it was written by Micke, and not Marie... and probably a few songs from her were written even befroe the illness (i.e. Bad Moon)
Min Bästa Vän - All songs are covers, songs from other artists.
So, MAYBE the point is that she isn´t ready to write/produce a whole new total album. I´m not 100% happy with a new compilation, but probably this was the best way the record company found to release a few new songs from her. And I´m very glad she will bring us at least one fully new song!! That´s the greatest Christimas gift!!
Gachy said on October 6, 2007 01:42:
If the songs were composed by herself or not, it doesn’t count at all. She was able to record and release 2 albums (1,5 if you like it more) since she was ill. The point is I don’t know why people is so surprised by 2 “new” songs being recorded now... 2 new songs that I will download from somewhere. There’s no point in investing more money on songs that I already have (on the albums and “Äntligen”). Let the new compilation for the casual customers.

Im a little bit happy about this one. There has only been 1 complilation of Maries solo-career so its ok. If this would have been the fourth Marie-compilation I would yawn a little bit too ( like some people are doing here). Off course...nothing will ever compare to reading news about a whole new Roxette album. Not for me anyway.

I’m looking forward to hearing something from Marie again :)
Actually it’s not so long ago we got some new tracks sung by her, in Micke’s album :D

the more this keeps happening the less of as fan I feel myself remaining...now it’s just a pathetic cash grab be it on emis part or per and amries. Don’t get me wrong new matieral is great, but you know what, instead of shoveling another hits package at us why now just a 5 song ep...not only is this insulting it’s infuriating, especially considering how much they bellyache that the musci business is in trouble, well this is a prime example as to why
roxlad said on October 6, 2007 13:23:
Mmm.... it would be interesting if we get rare old songs as well as the hits ones:
- Så skimrande var aldrig havet
- For free
- Innan du går, kom tillbaka
- Änglamark
- Violett
There’s a lot they can put in not to make the cd monotonous!
abysmo said on October 6, 2007 15:57:
Would be great to get a video for the new single. The last one was Det som var nu. It´s more than 7 years.

Oh, come on.... if Marie does realy work, she can record something new, as the studio is RIGHT in HER OWN home!!!
If she does nothing and releases just one another “greatest hits”, because she has to pay for her credit..... :(((( Well..... that’s not any fun at all.... (((((((
roxtexanet said on October 7, 2007 01:28:
So... a re-release of “Äntligen - Marie Fredrikssons Bästa 1984 - 2000” without “Antligen” ?
Seriously, though - I have no issue with MF releasing a compilation, record companies demand them of artists all the time and they’re good for casual listeners (if not for fans), but isn’t the concept here kind of silly? I mean, this is like releasing a compilation of Roxette’s best English-language songs... I hope some of the rarities Roxlad mentions are included (but I doubt it).
