Seems like promotion for the comeback is finally starting (at least here in Switzerland)! There was an article in my newspaper today which referred to this article: http://www.musik-news.de/musik-news/10305/roxette-wieder-vereint.htm
in addition to that, there’s an article in Switzerland’s biggest newspaper at all: http://www.20min.ch/unterhaltung/sounds/story/23744008
It’s German, but you could vote here: http://www.20min.ch/community/rating/rating.tmpl?ratingid=163
they want to know, who you want to come back with a new album. You just have to click on the picture. Right now, Roxette are clearly in the first place with 49 points. Second is “The Cure” with only 13! Pretty clear :)

What about promotion or such little articles in your country?

really strange pic chosen for the first article.

andi11 said on :

Yes, the picture is quite old, from a show 1999 in Cologne.
But there’s even a “better” picture in another article from the same page: http://www.musik-news.de/musik-news/10311/roxette-haben-zwei-neue-songs....
That’s not even Per, is it? It’s Anders I guess, but I’m not sure though...

An article from www.los40.com, here in Spain.

Only say about two new songs for the next compilation, and that roxette stopped recording in 2002.

pwbbounce (moderator) said on :

There was a big 5 page article in Q magazine about Roxette, and double page spread in Rolling Stone too.

Oh No - hang on. That would be my dream. LOL

The UK has seen a big fat zero so far!! Surprised?? Me?? You bet!!!

These Swiss articles are based on a press release. Here’s what the Austrian press agency APA wrote (in german):

Roxette wieder vereint: Zwei neue Songs zum 20. Jahrestag

Utl.: Kommen im Oktober auf den Markt =

Stockholm (APA/dpa) - Das schwedische Popduo Roxette hat vier Jahre nach der überstandenen Krebserkrankung von Sängerin Marie Fredriksson (48) zum ersten Mal wieder neue Lieder aufgenommen. Wie die Band am Mittwoch auf ihrer Internetseite mitteilte, kommen im Oktober zum 20. Jahrestag der Roxette-Gründung zwei neue Songs auf den Markt.

Im Jahr 1986 hatten Fredriksson und der Gitarrist Per Gessle (47) die weltweit erfolgreiche Band gegründet. Roxette gelang 1989 der internationale Durchbruch, es folgten in den neunziger Jahren mehrere Welthits wie “Joyride” und “The Look”. Ein 2002 diagnostizierter Gehirntumor der Sängerin zwang das Duo zu einer Pause. Nach zwei erfolgreich verlaufenen Operationen und ihrer Genesung nahm Fredriksson 2004 zunächst ein Solo-Album auf. Gessle hatte stets erklärt, er warte nur auf grünes Licht seiner musikalischen Partnerin für ein Roxette-Comeback.

English summary: They just write that Roxette were in the studio to record two new songs as this year it’s their 20 year anniversary. Then they shortly summarize Roxette’s history, including Marie’s illness. The only interesting part is that they write about 2 operations of Marie. So that was at least new to me. The rest is known.

Spanish media is also reporting about roxette comeback, they mainly talk about roxette new single one wish and the fact of roxette playing at Bravos gala in Germany.

Here are the links to the articles that can be found at 3 of the mayor spanish newspapers.

Promotion in Australia?? *falls over laughing* The most I heard was a radio DJ talk about it in her news segment, but she mainly wanted to talk about Marie’s brain tumour because her father also had one.
