“The video for the song (A Thing About You) will be shot in Stockholm about two weeks from now. It will be directed by Jonas Åkerlund, who has directed many of Roxette’s previous videos, including “Wish I Could Fly” and “The Centre Of The Heart.” ..... Jonas Åkerlund is highly involved in everything from ideas to packaging, photos to advertising spots... Jonas has previously directed no less than 14 Roxette-related videos.”
HAA-HAA-HAA-HAA . . . . . . (in the famous words of ol’ Bart): EAT MY SHORTS!!!
And btw: Gessle singing the song? Cant wait to hear it! He’s got an awesome voice for singing ballads: It takes you no time.../Vulnerable/Place your love/I want you to know/Lay down your arms/I wish you the best/and every1’s fave: I’ll be alright! Bah!
Also: i think the 2 seperate cd’s are an awesome idea - 6 brand new song + a collection of the all time best trax?! What MORE can the buying public want?! Celine, Westlife, Ronan, Robbie, NSync, Britney, Bryan, etc have ALL done the same thing: re-releasing material with a bonus disc - Bryan Adams have released how many bloody GH compilations? Within the release of only 1 or 2 albums! Same with that really shite band, Michael Learns To Rock. I think Roxette are just doing what every1 else is doing. Who knows? Maybe this will be the answer to all die hard fans’ prayers! ANd come now: wouldnt you want 12, yes, thats right: TWELVE BRAND NEW SONGS from them? Well then, hang around for the next 6 months and you will!
Cheers.

On the bonus EPs there won’t be brand new songs, but previously unreleased ones. Kinda like a “Rarities” bonus disc for both compilations. And I suppose there will be ballads on the bonus disc for the ballads album...
But yea, hopefully they will put “Stupid” on the EP for the uptempo compilation.

i dont recall per saying the bonus ep will not contain new songs...abbas box set was considerd a set of rarities and contained unreleased materail. It would be nice if they held over the roxette version of stupid as a roxette single on because technically if i rembered right emi withdrew stupid as a per single, so lol they already have a cd format art work lol the cheap asses at emi justhave to burn the cds. LOL
also...cello and acoustic guitar..hmm similar to green days time of your life? the video better not be boring :)

I think the bonus EP will contain unreleased songs which were already b-sides to the singles. Songs like See Me, The Sweet Hello...., Crazy About You, The Voice etc..
For the fans not new, but new for the big audience.

I’m sorry you don’t have the right nor the nerve to DEMAND anything from Roxette... nor you nor anyone ...if you are not pleased just keep your face down or just go finding out something else that might pleases you musicallywise
If you want 12 news songs do them yourself per and marie do music for self fun not for fan demanding
Get a grip for a while

I really look foward to the new releases.Ive been excited ever since I first heard about it. If it gets promoted well, it could easily oversell both HAND and RS. It will be very intressting to see witch one of the 2 compilations sell more- the ballads or the uptempos...

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?! DO YOU ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND ENGLISH? ROLMAO!
My God, I said that we ARE getting 12 new songs from the 2 compilations: 2 new songs + 4 unreleased trax on the EP (which i doubt will be b-sides, seeing that b-sides are classified as released trax) = 6 new songs! DUH!!!!! And 6+6=12, Dimwit.
And, btw: “I’m sorry you don’t have the right nor the nerve to DEMAND anything from Roxette...”
Do you actually know what NERVE means?! Actually I DO have the nerve to demand, but I wont cos I dont need to. Every1 else is doing it already;o)
Bah!

Im “cynical” cos I cant stand MLTR?! Jeez, u ppl seriously need a copy of the Oxford Dictionary! LOL! I dont LIKE MLTR, thats it. Their music does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me. Like MOST of YOU DONT like the HAND sleeve - where as I thought it was absolutely STUNNING - or Jonas A’s vids - which are ABSOLUTELY KICKASS!!! Its about taste, isnt it? And who’s got betta taste the P&M? They got Karl-Magnus to design the HAND sleeve and got Jonas to film their BEST vids.....you ppl are funny! LOL!

I totally agree! You go carbonboy! Just hope that the bonus EP won’t be just balads on the balads album, and powertunes on the uptempo album - would love to have STUPID on this new bonus EP!!
