Next single and other plans for the future

Written by roxeteer on March 30, 1999 to .

The album has now been released in the UK, but North America is still waiting for the release.

Per told at www.haveaniceday.nu that the singles released from the new album will be (in chronological order) “Anyone” (April-May-June), “Stars” (July-August), “Salvation” and “Crush On You”. “Stars” remixes are also waiting to be released.

In Japan Roxette has apparently already released a double A-side single “Pay The Price / Anyone”.

The video for “Anyone” was recently shot in Portugal. The director is Jonas Åkerlund, who also directed the “Wish I Could Fly” video.

Per has also given hints about a Roxette box-set (it rhymes quite nicely, doesn’t it :-). The box is likely to contain at least an official release of Roxette’s Unplugged concert back in 1993.

Next Roxette home video may contain in addition to the Roxette tracks the excellent Gessle videos “Do You Wanna Be My Baby?” and “Kix”.

In the USA, however, things aren’t going very well. Lars-Erik Olsson, who told us about Roxette’s negotiations with Epic in the US, said recently at Rox Britannia that “the deal with Epic seems to have fallen through and it looks unlikely that the album will be out on July 4th”.
