Does anyone knows how this song sounds like ? I mean, there are some fans that heard a bit of it in a meeting/promotion thing with Per.
I’m so afraid it’s going to be another crappy dance song. And if so, I would love to know it already, so I won’t get too disappointed, like I was with “The Centre Of The Heart”.
PS: Hoping that “Opportunity Nox” is going to sound like “Sleeping In My Car”... GUITARS PLEASE.

It is coincidental, that I am in Germany over the 3rd of Feb 03!!! So I will actually be able to hear that Song on the Radio!!!! I am lookin forward to it soooo much! As it most likely will never be played here in Ireland...

does anyone know when the “pop hits” is expected?
Agus said on January 15, 2003 17:48:
Great news! But, what’s the hurry?
Please, don’t get me wrong, i’m of course willing to listen to new material. But I really wonder if there’s such a hurry: they released ATAY and The Ballads in September/October, if I remember well, and now, just a few months later, there will be another single and another compilation. To me, this is quite unusual. I wonder if there’s a reason for it.
Who knows... Take care, regards! :)

Marie is the best and still the one.
ROXETTE= MARIE & PER
brunorox said on January 16, 2003 21:15:
YES ROXETTEFAN, I also want to see the new video, i anyway hope it will be a great song. I really expect to hear it in Belgium !!!
PerFanatic said on January 16, 2003 22:37:
well, that’s a bit harsh, especially considering Marie’s condition. But, at the core of your example there is an undeniable point. Yes, Per’s song writing is the “source” for the Roxette hit machine. Marie’s voice is also a crucial aspect, and no one could do it as well as her, but if you had to rank the 2, the song writing would have to come first.
And, to the first anonymous, Per does not have a crappy voice...
