Hard Rock band Candlelight Red just finished up a video for their new single “She’s Got the Look,” a cover of Roxette’s “The Look”.
“She’s Got the Look” is the second single off The Wreckage, the video was shot in Stanley Kubrick’s family warehouse by indie video aficionado Alex de Campi. The video twists the song into a horror story of a lonely teen boy who dreams of finding a girl who ends up finding him, as well as featuring a performance by the band.
Hotel Tylösand, owned by Per Gessle and Björn Nordstrand, was going through major renovation and reconstruction in the previous months. On the Hotel’s Facebook page several photos from the newly opened “The Look” suite were posted. Yep, this room has definitely got the look!

This evening, German channel RTL will have Roxette once again on their TV show “Die ultimative Chart Show”. Roxette is seen performing (playback) their evergreen “The Look”, recorded in February when they also performed the current single “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)” for another episode. Motto of tonight’s show is “the most productive acts of all times”, broadcasting starts at 21:15 EST.
The Chart Show had between 3 and 3.5 million viewers in the last season. Normally the episodes get broadcasted again after some months or even years. The show’s concept is a song countdown with videoclips based on the German charts/sales according to the motto. Some celebrities are talking and commenting the songs on a couch, while a couple of show acts perform on stage.

According to Aftonbladet Victoria Bernadotte wants to hear Roxette’s “The look” on her wedding which will take place on June 19th. Rumours has it that ABBA’s Benny Andersson will write a new song for this ceremony.
Have you ever known that it was Clarence who counted 1-2-3-4 in “The look”? This and more in the exclusive footage from the recording studios in SVT’s “The look” documentary. It seems it was co-produced by Danish and Norwegian TV-stations, so it’s very probable it will be broadcasted in other Scandinavian countries.
In my opinion – the best Roxette documentary of 21st century.
Update: Fellow rox fan shirley is working on an English translation of the documentary, which should lead to a subtitled video. You can read her work in progress at R2R forums and maybe help her!
A very nice teaser with Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle, Anders Herrlin… and more! Don’t forget to watch SVT tonight at 21.45!
