Per Gessle confirmed that on Facebook by saying

Global Repertoire Labelcopy Document

by

EMI Music has prepared a Global Repertoire Labelcopy Document, which includes some interesting pieces of information regarding the forthcoming TRAVELLING album. There are some mistakes as well, so please don’t regard this as the final document.

All songs were mixed at Aerosol Grey Machine in Vallarum – except no 11 “The weight of the world” mixed in Polar Studios in Stockholm. According to the document only “Me & You & Terry & Julie” was mastered outside Sweden in USA, but it seems this is wrong information as “mastering location” is Stockholm. Stockholm is not in US, isn’t it?

3 songs – “Turn of the Tide”, “Perfect Excuse” and “Easy Way Out” were recorded in South African yet unknown hotel – though two first tracks are being labeled as recorded in “Sweden” after all. One songs comes from Rio de Janeiro and one from Dubai. There is only one song being written by Marie Fredriksson and it’s “See Me”.
