“I know very, very little about Roxette... which I initally thought was the female vocalist’s name (a mistake everyone makes, probably). The impression I get from Roxette’s music is that this pair is similar to a thousand couples-bands throughout the world. The last one I saw live was a young husband/wife team performing in a resort lobby during happy hour; the one before that in a Ramada Inn dining room, during supper. They were backed by a synthesizer providing drumbeat and various instruments, while the vocalists both played guitars and/or keyboards, creating the effect of a band with several musicians. They sang lovely songs and rock songs, anything the customers wanted to hear – some old stuff, and some original stuff. Both of the couple-groups I heard sounded almost the same. Much of their stuff was, in the final analysis, background music.

Roxette, though, broke away from that, and in a HUGE way. They are that Ramada Inn couple in many ways, but they found the key to vaulting upward to a much higher order of magnitude, and their music is original, striking and fantastic...”

Ok so first they were new ABBA wannabies, then the swedish eurythmics, and now the Ramada Inn couple?? Now that’s new!!
