Marie Fredriksson – a set of lovely backstage moments

by

While we are still badly missing the tour, I’ve put together some of those nice videos in which Marie is appearing during backstage rehearsals. You may remember Per once wrote this on Roxette Official: ”How could Marie go wrong with a band like this?” From these videos you can see that she didn’t go wrong with them at all. Pure fun!

By the way, once in a while it would be great to see some pics or videos of how Ms Effe is doing these days. Short videos from the studio where she’s working on her solo project would just be awesome. Until then, enjoy this set of lovely backstage moments.

Grattis på födelsedagen, Marie!

Snippet of Marie’s song from Magnus Lindgren’s album

by

marie_lindgren

As we reported some weeks ago, the upcoming album by Magnus Lindgren, “Souls”, will feature a song sung by Marie.

In an EPK uploaded to Magnus’ YouTube, Magnus reveals that the song is called “On a Sunday” and that it was written 10 years ago for an album they had been working on together but “was never released”. He also explains that the lyrics were written by Marie and her husband Mikael Bolyos “on a Sunday afternoon”, and thus the title.

You can listen to a short “snippet” of the song, which has been recorded again for this album, in the video below.

The release date of the album is still unknown.

Bolyos family no longer online

Just a short note while surfing the net:

Though a new Marie Fredriksson album (and maybe tour?) seems to arrive this or next year – at least this is what the rumours say so far – the two websites Mikael Bolyos and Marie Fredriksson used to promote their releases, are not online anymore.
The domain bolyos.com, which Mikael used to promote his own solo album “A family affair” in 2007 has a new owner and is now used by Austrian estate agent Peter Bolyos (probably a relative of Mikael).

The domain maryjane.se – used for several releases of Marie Fredriksson – now is a blog, filled with articles of a Swedish guy called Erik.
So, the interesting question is: Which new domain will there be when Marie’s album is out – probably mariefredriksson.se?

Marie Fredriksson’s new genre: jazz?

by

Magnus Lindgren is known for being a very talented Swedish jazz musician, a multi-instrumentalist. Roxette fans might know him because he was working together with Marie on some of her earlier projects (The Change, Äntligen). An Indonesian article is writing about Magnus’s forthcoming album, Souls, which Mr. Lindgren will present on SXSW Music Festival* on 16th March, 2013. The article says there are several vocalists featuring on the upcoming album. Guess who is one of them! Yes: our Miss Effe.

We hope that these 4 letters (SXSW) are not a bad omen for premieres and we don’t have to wait as much for the song with Marie as we have to wait for the Small Apartments soundtrack album.
