My MINI Shrine to Roxxette


This is my tribute to a band nobody seems to know of any more. The Band is Roxxette.

I realize many people have heard the name "Roxxette, but never know what songs they sang. If you've ever heard "She's Got the Look", "Listen to your Heart" or "Must have been love", then you've heard Roxxette.

Roxxette is made up of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gussle, two natives to Sweden. Per writes all of the songs and Music, and Marie sings most of it (however, Per Sings alot too).

Alot of my friends are surprised I like Roxxette. I usually go for Alternative stuff, like NIN, Rammstien and Orgy. They are even more surprised when I tell Roxxette is my FAVORITE band. Alot of them are anti-Eighties, so It's no surprise they don't like Roxxette.

I've liked "Must have been love" for a long time, but only 2 years ago did I learn Roxxette sang it. Since then, I've been Collecting Roxxette Cds.

Don't think Roxxette is a washed up 80's band-They recently came out with a new Album with the Single "Wish I could Fly".

Update! (7/8/98) Roxette's new album is now available in Europe! There are several mp3s floating around from it on the internet, though...

Update:8/17

"Wish I could Fly" is now on American Radio stations! Look for it!

Below is a clip of Roxxette:
