The Per Gessle Archives – The Have A Nice Day Demos

by

A new set of demos is released under The Per Gessle Archives on 24th April. This time it’s The Have A Nice Day Demos.

Per says:

I had plenty of time to write songs for the Have A Nice Day-album. Roxette had taken a couple of years off after 8 very intense years. Our families got expanded with new beautiful children and I was also busy working on “The World According To Gessle” while preparing the new Roxette album.

I’ve included 26 of my demos in this collection. Looking back I find most of the songs became so much better in the studio in Spain while others could have been treated differently. Sometimes I actually prefer the demo! That’s the way it goes.

Some tunes also turned up years later in other projects, others have stayed in the closet where they truly belong! Hope you’ll find something you like.
