Leipzig = Wow!!!! Haven’t been in this city since 2011 and hey, do I love to play here! Great crowd as always.
We tried a different running order tonight to get the perfect flow. Got a few more things to check out in Hamburg. That’s the way it should be, every gig should be different. That’s why we play everything 100% live. No tricks.
Thanks everyone for showing up and making that typical Roxette noise!!! Love it! See y’all soon again. Cheers, P.

Look Sharp! The 30th anniversary edition celebrates a milestone album.
Pre-order now at: https://lnk.to/RoxetteMP
“Look Sharp!” contained two US #1 singles in “The Look” and “Listen To Your Heart”, as well as the almost equally high-charting singles “Dangerous” (#2) and “Dressed For Success” (#14).
Lavishly packaged in a classic LP sized box with the original album on 180g vinyl, a 21-track CD with Per Gessle’s demos and rarities, as well as Per’s 45 minute long “home movie” dvd from the recordings, taking fans behind the scenes and into the studio work.
A richly illustrated booklet, featuring track by track interviews with Per Gessle as well as Marie Fredriksson, Clarence Ofwerman, Anders Herrlin, Mats “MP” Persson and Alar Suurna, who offers insights and memories from the recordings is the icing on the sharp looking cake.

Per Gessle in a German video report: “I only have good memories of course, we have a very strong fan base here, our songs are often played on the radio, and Germany is definitely the second home for Roxette.” Check it out! /PP

Polish interview with Per Gessle about Small Town Talk, Roxette, Marie, the beginnings, It Must Have Been Love, success, songwriting and the tour. Nothing new to hardcore fans though. 😉 /PP
Cantara Music: – Your main collaborator on the record is Helena Josefsson. You’ve been working together for 15 years. Aren’t you bored with each other?
PG: – No, on the contrary! Helena is an amazing singer, it’s great working with her. It’s getting better each year. Besides that, for me as a songwriter working with her is interesting, because her style of singing is completely different vs. Marie’s, who sings more boldly and rocky.

Per Gessle in a German interview: “It’s hard to listen to today’s top 40 stuff. This is not music but a formula of record companies that do not want to challenge anyone anymore. Americana keeps the tunes up, telling stories. At country, I feel good, as well as Dylan and Springsteen feel comfortable there.” … To the question if he will continue with Nashville sound: “Maybe I go to New Orleans for my next album,” he laughs. To the question if he could imagine writing Dylanish protest songs against populists and neo-Nazis: “I have always sprinkled small references in my texts. But political in a complete song? I think others are better at that.” Short silence. “But even if you’re not good at taking a position, you can’t avoid it right now. We’re all in the middle of it.” /PP

OÖN: – Which songs will be on the setlist in Vienna?
PG: – 80% Roxette, plus some solo songs. We start the rehearsals this Saturday, so I honestly don’t know yet. The first setlist, which I created on a trial basis, stupidly included 72 songs (laughs). There are so many Roxette songs that we’ve never played live before, like “Milk and Toast and Honey”.
