New titles from Roxette’s new album Travelling revealed; updated tourbooks on the way

by

Per Gessle has revealed to The Daily Roxette the titles of 5 of the tracks which will be included in Roxette’s new album Travelling, due to be released end of March.

“Me & You & Terry & Julie”
“Lover Lover Lover”
“It’s Possible”
“Excuse Me, Sir, Do You Want Me To Check On Your Wife?”
“Touched By The Hand Of God” (including the happy small town poetry ‘I guess my kind of talking was misplaced like hell Just like the “funk” in Art Garfunkel’)

Per also announced in Facebook that he already got the mastered version of the album, and that the first single will be released “to radio in a couple of weeks.”

In addition, he mentioned that the tourbooks will be available to purchase via the Roxette online store, and also that there will be an updated version after the Australian and Asian leg of the tour.
