The first Roxette album after 10 years will see the light of day on February 11, 2011. The album called "Charm School" contains 12 new songs, capturing everything that's good about Roxette while still looking ahead!
Among the tracks:
"Way Out" -- power pop, 1st track
"In My Own Way" -- sensitive ballad, written in 1984
"She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)" -- newest song, written this autumn, extremely infectious groove
"No One Makes It On Her Own" -- essential track, sung by Marie
"Sitting On Top Of The World" -- bittersweet album closer
Here is the press release which was sent out by EMI and we received via Marie Dimberg:
Roxette back with a new album: "Charm School"!
On February 11 the unlikely becomes reality. After 25 years as a world-famous act with 70 million albums sold, one of Sweden's biggest pop groups steps back into the spotlight, a decade after their last studio album "Room Service".
They do it with "Charm School", a new album with twelve songs in a style that's best described as "updated classic Roxette", from the initial power pop fireworks of "Way Out" to the bittersweet closer "Sitting On Top Of The World".
The chances that this would ever happen looked slim when Marie Fredriksson in the autumn of 2002 was diagnosed with brain tumour. But Marie managed to defeat the illness, and during 2009 the pieces gradually fell together.
First Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle were reunited on stage to perform "It Must Have Been Love" and "The Look" during Per's "Party Crasher" tour in Amsterdam. And before the fans knew it, Roxette made a full-scale comeback as headliners during the "Night of the Proms" tour in front of more than 600 000 people in Holland, Belgium and Germany.
"By then we started to think ahead and plan for the possibility of making a new album -- an album that captured everything that's good about Roxette while still looking ahead", says Per Gessle. Said and done. During the tour, the band's hotel rooms were transformed into recording studios where a string of new Roxette songs took shape.
Back home in Sweden the work continued during the spring and autumn of 2010. Just as when the band recorded during their heyday there were lots of songs to choose from. The sensitive ballad "In My Own Way", for example, is a rediscovered gem from 1984, when the dream of international recognition still was just a dream.
The newest song is the extremely infectious groove-master "She's Got Nothing On (But The Radio)", written this autumn. In-between there's everything that has made Roxette one of the world's most radio played pop groups; the clinging melodies, the passionate delivery, the humorous pop sense and the unique mix of Marie Fredriksson's and Per Gessle's voices. All wrapped up in a musical package that is unmistakably 2011.
"For me the starting point has always been to write songs for Marie's voice. She got this ability to make you believe every word she sings, and that's why she brings the stories to life. As a songwriter that's an incredible gift to be a part of", Gessle says.
The album is recorded in the south of Sweden and Stockholm with Clarence Öfwerman and Christoffer Lundqvist as producers (together with Per and Marie). "Charm School" is a magnificent return to form after ten years of trials and challenges. Or as Marie Fredriksson sings in one of the album's quintessential tracks: "No One Makes It On Her Own". Hear the school bell ring on February 11.

you have rated to your own personal taste, not axactly fair, , i dont believe there is a song below an 8/10 on the whole album, its great music

plus, "tourism" isnt a studio album asshole

[EkkiProduction]

@gessle66 Hey motherfucker , for your information you can read on Wikipedia that "Tourism" is the fourth studio album mixed between new songs and live versions...and of course I'm right about everything's Rated here...There's two or three good songs on ''Charm School'' album but the rest of the album is somehow boring, or even bad

[cubuletzul]

@EkkiProduction You say: "and of course I'm right about everything's Rated here"

You're God or just a subjective human being? Or, if you took the ratings from a review site, you take them for granted? You have the right to tell your oppinion, of course, but to say that YOU ARE RIGHT... it's too much. For example, you rated under 5 every song I like better on their last album. "After All" - 2? I think it's a great song in which you can feel the Beatles influences.

@cubuletzul A large majority of viewers likes this video and they agreed about my opinion, It proves I'm Right

[grujic11]

charm school is best album after look sharp and joyride

[Nirejhenge4]

How dare you have your own individual opinion that is different to some other people? It's an utter disgrace to have a personal opinion. As such I suggest that anyone with a particular opinion that may fall slightly outside of a majority opinion should be shot at dawn. Then hung. And quartered. Then fed to sharks. Or something. Probably.

im glad see good music produced nowadays... while others singers produce shi#($J#j  Roxette are always surprising with amazing songs.

[Mega90900]

@ Ekki, Your thoughts are WRONG. Your an IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHARM SCHOOL IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

[BijaniusMaximus]

Nice work for you....Definitely not Roxette's best work, below their average, a bit uninspired it seems to ME. But you dropped the ball on "after all", one of the better songs of the album I think (stress on the I for the sensitive fans). I am sure they will pick it up on the next one...

[abelbeau99]

great work and good taste !

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

[mariselafanful]

lindidicmoooooooo cantan

[188043]

@EkkiProduction They like the video because you've got the music on here for people to listen to...in other words, they like Roxette. Your ratings are shit.

[TheRaygregory]

I really love the album. After a couple of listens every song grows on me. TYPICAL ROXETTE. I would agree that "im glad you called" isnt their best song but come on dude 3/10 for "in my own way" That is a joke! It's probably my favourite song on the album. Im so glad Roxette havent moved with the times and tried to change. This is so refreshing and I only hope they start recording another album in the near future.

[dontmesswiththelaser]

If it weren't for Roxette it would all be morkmarked!
