“It’s possible” – cover and duration

According to Play.com – the “It’s Possible (Version One Radio Edit)” with duration of 2min 35sec is to be released on Monday, March 4. The German radio show “Hey Music” on Radio Berlin informs that “It’s possible” lasts for 3min 22sec. We have no information at this point which information is correct.

The B-side of the first single will be T&A Demo of “It’s possible”.

Update: It turned out that correct duration is 2:34 for the first single, which makes it the shortest one leading single in the history of Roxette.

“It’s possible” – new Roxette single

German online shop Grooves-Inc informs that the first single off the TRAVELLING album will be “It’s possible”. The single will be released on the CD on March 16th – a week before the German premiere of the new album. Thanks to Lea Binias for finding out this information.

We were also informed by Aussie fans that the song was performed at the soundcheck in Perth on February 28 for the very first time, so the band is preparing to include it in the setlist.
