the_lookAs Roxette.se has previously informed (RoxetteBlog.com article) there will be a new programme in Swedish TV in which one of its part will be dedicated to Roxette’s “The look” hit single.

After the success of “Dom kallar oss artister” (They call us artists) show (Per Gessle was one of the stars), the Swedish public television decided to produce another interesting music document series – “Hitlåtens historia” (The hit song’s history) based on the stories behind the most important Swedish songs.

Roxette’s “The look” will be presented as the first song on January 20th, 2010 on SVT 1. Don’t miss it!

Per and Marie met for an interview about “The Look” and sent a brand new Roxette picture with it.

“A brand new photo of Roxette at EMI Studios, Stockholm. Roxette has been interviewed by Magnus Broni who’s making a documentary about “The Look.” Magnus has been all over the US interviewing Brian Philips (former EMI boss) and Dean Cushman (former exchange student), among others.”

Update: Another new picture has been uploaded to roxette.se. Have a look at the sheet of paper. Looks like the NOTP arrangement, ain’t it?

“The Look” covered by rockabilly band “The Baseballs”

Jul 17

Posted on June 28th: German rockabilly band The Baseballs included a cover of “The Look” in their first album “Strike”, which was released in May 2009.  The album also includes covers of Rihanna, Robbie Williams and Maroon 5 among others.

Digger, singer together with Sam and Basti, explains why they choose “The Look” in an interview published on Münstersche Zeitung yesterday, “we wanted to give the album a personal touch. I chose “The Look”, which I relate to my start with music. It was my sister’s first LP and the first song I could play on keyboards.”

I personally find the version of “The Look” one of the best on the album, but you can judge yourself on YouTube, where you can also listen to other songs included in the album.

If you want to learn more about the band, you can visit their homepage (in German) or page on Facebook. And if you’ve been convinced by their music, you can buy their CD on Amazon.de

Update 18th July: just found out that there is another German band who already covered “The Look” back in 1991. The band is called Boppin’B and they named the album containing the cover “The Look”.
