As you could hear it with your own ears in the Australian radio interview with Per, he started writing new songs for Roxette a couple of months ago and they will go to studio in August to record new material before they start rehearsing for the tour in September.
Now Per reveals in an interview with The New Zealand Herald that they are planning to do an EP with 4-5 songs. However, being the hit machine he is, there might be a new studio album coming! That’s what he says:
We’re talking about doing an EP, four or five songs. At the same time, knowing me, I write a lot and if everything goes well, it might as well be a full-scale album.
Fingers crossed for a full album!
Besides this, he tells what the secret behind one of pop’s most enduring relationships is:
It helps that we never had a romance. We’ve known each other all our lives and it’s like a brother-sister relationship. When Marie got ill in 2002, it was a nightmare for all of us. I’m so pleased that she’s still alive. To be able to do these tours again is just amazing.
We are all so pleased, too! Bring on the new album and the tour!
This makes me curious what he was recording since autumn last year till now.
Seems strange to me. First tour started without any new material? First Rox EP ever? Another Hits compilation? I was expecting full-lenght album just before tour starts. And as eduard33 said, question of the day is So what was Per with C&C recording since autumn last year till now?
It crossed my mind that he might be re-recording some demos for TPGA.
