Roxette World Tour 2011 schedule

Video for “One Wish” to include some animation

Written by CRIZ on August 30, 2006 to .

STOCKHOLM - Aftonbladet reports about the recording of the new video for “One Wish” today.


  Marie explains that she is longing to release this song. “We’ve gotten tons of mail from fans who have asked when the new songs will be released and how they sound,” she says.


  Marie also speaks of her friendship with Per. “Our friendship is getting better and better every year that passes by. It’s been such incredible fun to work with this gang again. Roxette is so big and intense.”


  Regarding “One Wish,” Marie says that it’s a classical Gessle-song, “easy to hum and at the same time with a damned nice beat. You can’t get the melody out of your head.”


  Per explains he thought it would feel strange to do something with Roxette again, “but when Marie and I met, we went straight back to our old groove. Marie made some coffee, and I played hockey,” said Per with a smile.


  The video was shot in Filmhuset’s basement at Gärdet, Stockholm. “Since the song is released [in conjuction with] our 20th anniversary, the new video will contain much from our older videos,” explains Per. “Some parts of the video will be animated,” reveals Jonas Åkerlund.


  Per also comments about another US #1: “We don’t feel we have to sell one million records this time around. It’s just cool to do this again.”


  Roxette will be on a promotion tour this fall, including the shows “Bingolotto” and the “Världens barn” (Children of the World) gala in Sweden.


  Norwegian newspaper VG also reported about Roxette today. When they enquire if there will be a new Roxette album, Marie explains they haven’t decided yet. “We take one thing at a time. Right now I draw a lot, and I’m planning a new exhibition, but it’s not impossible,” she says.

Sascha said on :

Yeah, it all looks very promising! I hope for lots of promo performances. :-D

GT_85 said on :

Bingolotto and Världens Barn will be Playback. As all other Roxette tv-gigs. Just hope for some “real” promo gigs. Like the one in Barcelona during RS.

crashroxer said on :

Wow, can’t wait to see it!! Especially Marie’s complete outfit...

If the song & the video is just as good like ATAY - I’m very very happy!!!

crashroxer said on :

“Världens Barn” - never heard from this show. Any details?

Max-Tob said on :

haha! look at the guy with the green thing on his head: that’s definitely Per! LOL

daniel_alv said on :

Världens barn - They try to get money donated to help children in the world.

ncurran said on :

Marie looks fantastic in these pics! Cant wait to see the finished video and hear the song.

Rox-Van said on :

Yay Roxette will be on a promotion tour!!! BRAVO!!! ITS A GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roxvet said on :

Hey, finally good news!!!! Thanx!!

“It’s a classical Gessle-song. Easy to hum and at the same time a damned nice beat. You can’t get the melody out of your head.”

WWOOOOWWWW, si si si!!!! YEs yes yes!!!

Well it seems the video is something like Almost Unreal....Don’t you think?

And....the second picture is making me think! .....

Is Per imitating Michael Jackson with that glove? or
Will Per be a magician in the video?

Come on!! Put your bets!!!

etrejos said on :

I’m excited now, this looks very promising. Marie looks absolutely gorgeous!!

Secretkeeper81 said on :

Now THAT is a good piece of news to hear ;-)

Leila said on :

They look so young and perfect!!!

KixGuy said on :

“It’s a classical Gessle-song. Easy to hum and at the same time a damned nice beat. You can’t get the melody out of your head.” I think that by ’a damned nice beat’ Marie means it’s a dance song... :( I really hope I’m wrong!!!

Nox1983 said on :

I love the clothes, and green colours as well. Can´t wait to hear One Wish, can´t wait to watch them on TV again. I´m sure there will be some special live show... :D

tevensso (moderator) said on :

It’s not a dance song, but Marie’s comment in Swedish is hard to translate correctly. It could also mean it has a lot of “go”. :)

abysmo said on :

Now Rox Box doesn´t exciting me anymore. I want to hear “One Wish”, “Reveal”, see video, see TV shows, see them back in the business. Yesssssssss.

ally77 said on :

I can’t wait to see the video also! Looks good!

Jud (moderator) said on :

I guess they will show parts of other old videos on the background.. ?

chrisjankunas said on :

It sounds exciting. Wanna hear this song and see the video !!!! 20 days til radio release date !!!

gyllene_tjej said on :

@Judith - you mean like copy and paste? :)))) I hope NOT! I’m game for an interesting summary of their video history. We’ll soon find out what it is like, fingers crossed that the clip turns out good!

That’s the news to cling to for the time being!

Jud (moderator) said on :

lol not copy and paste, but Per has that green background, and I suppose old Rox videos will be shown there, mixed with the new one.. I’m about to update the article with the full translation, then you’ll know what I mean :)

unreal said on :

great!!! I WISH i lived in Sweeden!!!

ally77 said on :

I am curious to see it!

Baby-C said on :

Please just don’t mix things up... it says “PR-tour”. No mentioning of any real gigs what so ever, so I’d keep calm for a while more. The only thing they mention is the “Världens Barn” gala, and Bingolotto. Both will be playback as usual for sure.

Jud (moderator) said on :

so I’ve updated the article with a more extended translation and some info from Tcooh :)

Rox-Van said on :

New album? Marie says: “we take one thing at a time. Right now I draw a lot, and I’m planning a new exhibition, But It’s Not Impossible.”

Oh my God i love Marie !!!!!! i’m crying!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GT_85 said on :

The video might be like madonnas “ray of light” which Åkerlund also made. That video also had a blue screen or whatever it’s called. At least I hope it’ll be like the Ray of light, very cool video. :)

ncurran said on :

And hundreds of TDR members collectively cross their fingers for the possibility of a new album....now THAT would be something to celebrate!

abysmo said on :

I do. Hope we´ll get new album in some 24 next months.

GT_85 said on :

If a record company are going to realese a new album, and promote it well, this project have to be a succes, i think. And i doubt it will be... Hope i’m wrong.

abysmo said on :

There are so many little groups which sold much less albums and they can exist, touring, and releasing new albums. Why not Rox?
They have so much money that they can do it for joy. Look at Marie´s and Per´s last albums.

GT_85 said on :

Yea, but their last album barely sold anything outside of Sweden.
And Roxette has been a HUGE succes. Bigger than anyone here can imagine, really.
I don’t think they want to release something “just to release something”. They want to sell as much as possible, and be remembered as a great band.

You should quit when you’re on the top. Hopefully Roxette are on their way to the top. :)

rox-kuryliw said on :

aww its nice to know marie reads and hear’s what fans have to say .

I love roxette for the hooks, catchier than an office called i read in an english paper and that explains my love for there music. :-D ( just wish they would change the horrid out of place one wish cover )

abysmo said on :

No one Rox album exceed 2,5 milion copies in last 10 years. It´s not so great success. I know that it´s better to be successfull, but sales all over the world are going down.
And if Rox will release brand new album with classical hits like Wish..., Stars or Center..., I believe, (if EMI will do precious promo) it can attack border of 2 milion copies. And it´s success in time like these.

daniel_alv said on :

I really hope that One Wish and the Gr hits gets a lot of promo in the US, now is the time to get Roxette back there.. I think that could get Roxette back on the world stage.

Fernanda-Brasil said on :

I think Marie is getting enthusiastic about a new album :)
I feel so happy to see them together again. It’s like a dream to see Marie healthy by Per’s side :D
They are my idols. Can’t wait to put my hands on this Roxbox and listen to the new songs!!!!
Love you Marie and Per ;)

cgvazquez said on :

WOW!!!!!! great news day by day!!!!!!!!!!!!

I´M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

roxchilean said on :

MARIE AND PER I LOVE YOU....
ROX IS ON THE WAY AGAIN....

A GREAT HUGE FROM SANTIAGO DE CHILE

lonely_girl said on :

hmhm...

Ok, I wonder how one wish sounds ;-) Can’t give up fandom so easily it seems, not after 15 years ;-)

tomos85 said on :

This information brings a smile into my face... :)

And what abou this alien in the photo? It’s written in AB that he’ll appear in the video. Looks very nice :-)

imazombieinthem... said on :

looking good! cant wait :D

miss-misery said on :

Per doesn’t look too happy on the picture, he might have read all the comments here about the Rox-Box... :s

whateveriam said on :

Hmm... did he expect us to not notice the sheer lack of new stuff I wonder? He does look a little miserable.

RobS said on :

Great news and stunning picture :-D

GT_85 said on :

miss-misery, so he read things (at least) a day before anyone had written anything?

whateveriam said on :

Marie looks awesome in that!

nusaderenda said on :

Good to see some positive comments after all the moaning. I was thrilled to see them on the newspaper’s front cover. Who would believe THAT would happen in 2006? I can’t wait to hear the songs...but I never intended to buy the box :-)

whateveriam said on :

moaning is too weak a word- revulsion was better word for that moment in time. I’m happier now, cos at the end of the day, it is new stuff! New single, promo show type stuff although I can’t get there, its all good!

Rox-Van said on :

Hey look at this ;)

Thanks to german forum, I upload for shared...

whateveriam said on :

Wow!

Had brainwave- how about spoof versions of the classic videos?

substitute said on :

AMAZIN PIC,Roxvan!!
I WANT THAT MAGAZINE!!!!PLZZZZZ!!!!

RobS said on :

Wow a 2-page spread about Rox20!! Very nice.

Sascha said on :

Cool picture! Would love to get this bigger.

Santi said on :

How cool... hope they don’t hire the same guy who animated Opportunity Nox. That was... “bad”.

But don’t expect miracles with chroma-key techniques. As far as I remember David Hasselhof’s “Hooked on a feeling” is done with that as well :DDDDD
Ok, let’s hope this is better :P

pg_91 said on :

OMG I am longing soooo much!!! :D It’s GREAT!

AURYTE said on :

I want to watch the video. Though I’m a bit “afraid” of that animation part hehehe...
