..Sadly Marie Fredriksson died on 9 December 2019, at the age of 61, following a long battle with a brain tumor. In her honor, I request you do "It Must Have Been Love"...please...Thank You for this one...

Roxette carried the Swedish pop torch left behind when ABBA went on hiatus in the 80s. Their album "Joyride" is pure pop perfection from start to finish.

[@Torsdagskvallsmys]

Yes, If we only count internationaly atleast, Roxette was the only big band we had. Europe where also big, but that aint pop, so..

Highly underrated. Everyone cites hair metal bands when talking about the late '80s/early '90s power ballad era, but arguably, Roxette had three of the top 10: this song, "It Must Have Been Love," and "Fading Like a Flower."

[@glennkelley2307]

Watercolors in the rain another good one

[@yukonr]

there were power ballads before metal, Nights in White Satin is an example, they only became a metal thing because the record companies knew it was a sure fire way to sell more albums

[@fpier]

Why you saay underrated? In the 90 they were really really famous

[@debbiejohnson1484]

Another awesome Swedish group! RIP Marie! Always give me chills!

Yes lighters were a thing! For slow heartfelt, romantic songs the audience would put ‘lighters in the air’ and sway with the music. Nowadays the audience uses their phones! ♥️♥️

[@Bozbaby103]

Yes, lighters were a big thing at concerts during big ballads. These days cell phone flashlights are used, but the practice isn't as prominent.

[@rileyandmike]

That’s because now they use the cell phones to record the concert

[@bethshadid2087]

Yeah I've burnt my fingers few times. As for recording.....they don't experience the music....but then again music ain't like it used to be. Remember you'd get kicked out if you had a camera 😓

I should have scrolled before I said the same thing LOL I also mentioned that we all usually had lighters handy - for those 'party supplies' at concerts ;)

[@rhondamcbath6279]

Wow this is such sadness 😥😧😔. More reactions, OK, please 🥺😢🥺😢😓

[@michlkwitz]

Roxette was Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Both wrote, sang, played guitar and piano, and produced their albums. They didn't have a lot of hits in the U.S., but were huge around the rest of the world, especially their native Sweden. As others have mentioned, Marie lost her battle with cancer in 2019. You should definitely hear "Dangerous", "The Look" and "It Must Have Been Love".

[@xenialafleur]

Marie's second solo album Den sjunde vågen is really good (I picked it up for $1 at Camelot Music).

[@marox79]

They had 4 US no. 1s.

[@herobreaker9011]

"Joyride", "The Look", "It Must Have Been Love", and "Fading Like a Flower" are all excellent songs

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Roxette (pronounced "roxet") is a Swedish pop-rockband whose leaders werePer Gessle (lyricist and musicwriter, guitar, vocals, harmonica) andMarie Fredriksson (1958-2019) (vocals, piano). Like many other Swedish musicians, they performed their songs in English. The very name "Roxette" comes from the title of a song by the band Dr. Feelgood[1][2]. The band's popularity peaked in the mid-1990s. During their thirty-year career, the band played 557 concerts and sold over 75 million copies of their albums.

[@jasonmcewen436]

Rosette - The Look, Dressed For Success, Joyride, It Must Have Been Love

[@DoktorPerryCox]

Roxette was (is still) very popular here in europe. They had two or three great albums end of the 80s / begin of the 90S with a lot of single hits. "Joyride", "The Look", "It Must Have Been Love", "Dressed For Succsess", "Fadeing Like A Flower"...... Their last years as an active music duo were heartbreaking. Marie, this wonderful woman, sat on a high bar chair at her last concerts on the stage because she had problems with her sense of balance. And yet she still radiated such positive energy to the last row of the audience. R.I.P. Marie

[@sifw5462]

Swedish pop perfection! Roxette had hit after hit fantastic hooks to their songs, RIP Maria what a legacy of music you have left us with, check out Fading Like A Flower, The Look, Joyride, love Silver Blue too album track. Great reviews as ever from you both really enjoy them!

Yes, holding lighters was a thing back in the day. Especially in slow emotional songs. It let the band and everyone around you know you were touched in your feels.

[@sirtango1]

I always loved Roxette’s Crash, Boom, Bang, all one title there. “I Wish I Could Fly”, Joyride, Dangerous, Fading Like a Flower, they had so many big songs! It broke my heart when I heard that Marie Fredriksson had lost her battle with cancer! R.I.P. Marie!

[@angelabowman1614]

[@mickem4322]

"Must have been Love" is another classic Roxette song... BTW..A True story- Swedish exchange student brings a music tape and get it played in an American Radio Show..The rest is music history !! Sadly, at the start of the Pandemic I think almost 80-90% of the Swedish population watched the tribute TV-concert for Marie.. and only one year later, Pelle Alsing the drummer, also passed away.. He was a very very kind guy, I used to meet him at my local cafe here in Stockholm, Sweden.. R.I.P. Pelle , R.I.P. Marie.. Thank you for the great music !!

[@formofmikey]

Roxette: “The Look” & “Joy Ride” both awesome songs

[@NOLAgenX]

Now that you got the ballad out of the way, it’s time to dive deep into an A+ group! Roxette songs to react to: “How Do you Do”, “Joyride”, “Dressed for Success.” I know the word is overused, but underrated and under appreciated truly applies to these great musicians. Sadly, Marie lost her battle with brain cancer just a couple years ago. RIP.

[@jenniferpaul1832]

[@staffan66]

Thanks for a great reaction! I really like it 👍. Roxette was a very succesful swedish pop/rock duo with Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle (the guitarist beside Marie). Both were succesful artists in Sweden before they teamed up together in the mid 80's and created Roxette. They had four No 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. "Listen to your heart" reached No 1 in nov 1989. The other three No 1 songs are: "The Look" Aug 1989, "It must have been love" june 1990 (which also is a soundtrack in the movie "Pretty woman" with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts). "Joyride" in may 1991. And they had several more hits in the Hot 100. So yes, they were quite successful with about 80 million albums sold worldwide. Sadly, Marie passed away in dec 2019 after a 17 year long battle against brain cancer, only 61 years old, leaving a husband and two children behind. Marie is an ikon in Sweden and she is dearly missed by many, many fans in Sweden and worldwide. Marie was an amazing vocalist and her emotional singing gives me goosebumbs every time 🧡

[@michaelgilbert197]

Melissa Etheridge: "Like The Way I Do" the official video and the song are amazing, but if you want to see Melissa in all her glory... the LIVE at Pink Pop '94 performance of "Like The Way I Do" is INSANE!!! Either way, it's a phenomenal song and she is another incredible female artist with MANY hits in her catalogue!! gonna watch this reaction now.... ;) ;)

Their best song: "Fading Like a Flower," though they do have more upbeat pop-rock (and later synth-pop) songs too. RIP Marie Fredrickson.

[@suzannejane1035]

Rest in peace, Marie. I love her voice and Roxette, for me, were very under-rated - they had great songs. It Must Have Been Love is their biggest hit but Spending My Time is my favourite. Another great Swedish band. Also try The Cardigans, My Favourite Game - for more Swedish female gems.

"Fading like a flower" is a superb song from Roxette. You'll miss half of your life you dont check it out.😉😊

Marie has the kind of voice that reaches in and grabs you by the gut. It's a talent most of todays singers just don't have.

To be honest, I think the only one who comes close to both the feels and the light rasp in her voice is a Japanese singer by the name of Aimer. It's been awhile since I listened to anything new from her, but her Noir album was on repeat in my car for over a year after listening to it the first time.

Back then when you could smoke indoors and when safety standards were lax, you could hold lighters up inside stadiums during epic rock ballads; these days we can just hold up our cellphones!

I love how you guys really listen to the music and depth of the words in each song you review. ❤️ I was lucky enough to see Roxette twice in concert in Australia. The first is when I was 11 and the second in my early 30s.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, listen to Joni Mitchell. She is considered one of the greatest singer songwriters ever, including men. Her album "Blue" just had its 50th anniversary and is considered a masterpiece. I'll start you off with her song "A Case Of You".

[@frankmerris8821]

both sides now. both versions. 1st when she was in her 20s then much later in life when life does what it does to us

[@kimberlyjenkins725]

Yes, I vote for Joni, A Case of You is an excellent choice!

[@lauraself8999]

You guys should give a listen to another Patsy Cline song..."She's Got You".

RIP Marie. Just an amazing voice.

EVERYONE held up lighters at concerts during ballads. And, at times, it resulted in some singed, hairspayed hair.

[@Roguefem76]

I suddenly feel very old that they didn't know that. I know it's been a while since my last concert, but when did holding up lighters for ballads _stop_ being a thing?!

[@Varekai0723]

@@Roguefem76 Far fewer people smoke these days, plus cell phones have flashlights. I'm not sure if it's even legal to light up indoors.

[@Roguefem76]

@@Varekai0723 That's not what I asked, and who said anything about _indoors?_ You do know outdoor concerts are a thing, right?

Marie Fredriksson was the main vocalist, and she was one of a kind. May she Rest In Peace. 😔 I saw them live with my bro in 2012 and it was amazing! Some other songs to check out: -“It Must Have Been Love” (you might know this one because it was not only in the movie “Pretty Woman,” but also because it’s like…their biggest hit ever!) -“The Look” -“Joyride.” -“Fading Like A Flower” -“Dressed For Success.”
