STOCKHOLM - Tomorrow on Swedish TV4 between 20 and 22 CET "Team Gessle" will perform his new hit single "Silly Really." The occasion is of course Fotbollsgalan - The Soccer Gala.

Moves: PG

STOCKHOLM - Expressen's Anders Nunstedt has gotten an exclusive prelisten of "Party Crasher," here are his comments:

SILLY REALLY - Relentless keyboard riffs dominate the album's absolute feel good-hit, which consists of 87 % hair mousse and 13 % disco.

THE PARTY PLEASER - hard-as-a-nail pop song with tons of oh la la's, hey-hey's and yeah yeah's. It sounds like two Roxette robots mangle P!nk with a gigantic steam roller.

STUCK HERE WITH ME - Per Gessle goes Justin (!). An r'n'b ballad (!) which is more exciting than Gyllene Tider's "Upphetsad" ("Excited")! As if the title starts with "F" instead of "St"…

SING ALONG - Helena Josefsson, who sang like a British nightingale from the '60s on "Plumber" takes a lot of space. Power ballad á la "Joyride".

GUT FEELING - Per buys a ticket to a T-Rex dream and sounds about the same as the latest Swedish solo album. Great rock song.

PERFECT EXCUSE - The pop magician transforms magically in this nice ballad: he changes and sounds like - abra cadabra - Michael Jackson!

BREATHE LIFE INTO ME - Gessle has already done the best whistle solo thru times ("Här kommer alla känslorna"). Now he's laying back in his soul chair and whistles a nice reggae.

HEY, I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN - A Timbaland-remix of "Wish I Could Fly"? A typical Gessle ballad, as romantically airy as the title suggests.

KISSING IS THE KEY - "Kissing is the key/to an everlasting love". And the music settles it. This is Eurythmics in "Tommy's Pop Show" circa '83.

THAI WITH A TWIST - Per rhymes "womanizer" with "kaiser" and "tranquilizer" before the song disappears in an unexpected saxophone solo drenched in audience sounds. Rather silly.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO TURN YOU ON -  The B-side of "Silly really". Electronic pop reggae with a brilliant synth solo.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE - Amazing little synthpop ballad that, how odd it may seem, sounds like an electronic mash-up of Van Morrison and the Pet Shop Boys.

Anders Nunstedt also adds that the Roxette party is over, for good, and that there's a new party in town. Per's party.

(Updated) - "Silly Really" is now available to see at Aftonbladet. Featured in the video is, besides Per and a bunch of drunk stock brokers, also  Frank the rabbit from Donnie Darko!

Update: The video is now available at gessle.com in better quality.

Per will go on a small signing tour after the "Party Crasher" release:

Thursday November 27 at 16.30
Åhléns City, Stockholm

Friday November 28 at 17.00
Skivlagret, Halmstad, Brogatan 6

Saturday November 29 at
12.00 Rocks, Kungsbacka, Kungsmässan
15.00 Bengans, Gothenburg, Stigbergstorget 1 

On UK's 4Music TV channel, Roxette's "It Must Have Been Love" from the "Pretty Woman" OST ranked number 6 on the programme "50 Greatest Movie Song", which was broadcasted today between 11:30 and 16:00 GMT.

The "Pretty Woman" cut of the video was aired in its entirety at around 15:20.

Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from the "Titanic" OST came first. The list was created by the editors based on "popularity" rather than facts like the number of singles sold.

This TV programme is likely to be repeated several times.

NEW YORK - It's been awhile since we've given anything away to a lucky reader… and since we know there are those amongst you who are interested in discovering what else is happening on the Swedish music scene beyond what Per and Marie are up to… we thought we'd give away a sampling of music from Sweden this year.  Several CDs and a USB drive full of music from up-and-coming artists are included.

Most of the material was intended for music journalists and music industry insiders and was acquired by TDR at the annual Swedish Music Seminar held last month at Scandinavia House with Ulf Ekberg of Ace of Base as one of the participants. A poster of male Swedish recording artists hanging on one wall included a large image of Per Gessle.  Sweden is the third largest music exporter in the world with over 800 million dollars in revenue last year – superceded only by the U.S. and the UK. 

All you need do to enter is to send an email to dailyroxette@gmail.com stating your TDR UserName, your real name, and the address we should use to send the items to should you be the winner!   One winner will be selected at random from all entries received by November 23, 2008.  We'll let everyone know who won during the last week of November.

Tomorrow, Tuesday November 4 on SVT 1 at 21:00 CET, Per Gessle will be featured on the series "Dom kallar oss artister" ("They Call Us Artists"). The program will be re-run no less than three times. Check out the link for exclusive material (mostly in Swedish) and more insight about the album!

(Updated) - "Silly Really" enters the official Swedish singles chart at #1 this week. "Unusual and unexpectedly strong if you ask me!" comments Per to The Daily Roxette.

Another teaser for the video has been uploaded to Gessle.com. It seems to be karaoke inspired…

Per has revealed the different album bonus tracks:

iTunes bonus:
"I'm Glad You Called"

Telia bonus:
"Theme from 'Roberta Right'"
