This Oriflame CD-sleeve was found the other day by Per on his balcony. We really like the idea of looking for a full rox concert DVD on this balcony as well. C’mon Per, you can do it! 🙂

“Touched By The Hand Of God” – the second single off TRAVELLING (Update)
Radio Berlin in its chart show “Hey Music” has recently added Roxette’s “Touched By The Hand Of God” to the voting list. We have no information if this is the second single off TRAVELLING or just a pick from radio’s dj.
Update Per Gessle has confirmed on Facebook that this is the second single
Yep, looks like TBTHOG will be the 2nd single off Travelling! A wise choice do you think?
Russia: Roxette have written “a special song” for Oriflame
Last September we revealed that Roxette are set to play at Globen in Stockholm this summer (August 2012) on the special anniversary corporate event organized by the Swedish company Oriflame. In the beginning of May this year it turned out that Russian edition of “Travelling” does not include the very first international single “It’s possible” in both versions.
You may ask how those two things go together? Well, it turns out that Russian chapter of Oriflame claims that Roxette have written a special song for them. What’s its name? Yes, you’re right – “It’s possible”! In the end of May the 9th edition of the Oriflame magazine will be released together with a special bonus CD – including 11 Roxette hits and a new track called “It’s possible”. At this point we only know this will be released in Russia and will cost 99 rubles (ca USD 3.5). The artwork for both the cover and CD discs is shown above this text.
The tracklist for the album:
01. It’s Possible
02. It must have been love (Live in St. Petersburg)
03. Wish I could fly
04. How do you do! (Live in Stavanger)
05. Dangerous (Live in Stavanger)
06. Reveal (Attic Remix)
07. Speak to me (Bassflow Remake)
08. Dressed for success (Live in St. Petersburg)
09. Sleeping in my car (Live in Stavanger)
10. Real Sugar
11. Milk and Toast and Honey
12. Listen to your heart (Live in St. Petersburg)
Thanks to Evgeny Perekopskiy for sharing this news.
Russian edition of TRAVELLING
Roxette’s latest album TRAVELLING was released in Russia last month. This edition is a bit of strange as it includes only 13 songs and both versions of “It’s possible” were removed for unknown reasons. Picture was taken by Alexander Funk.
English language Roxette book on the way?
We were informed by several different sources that Sven Lindström, author of Per Gessle’s Swedish language biography released in 2007 called “Att vara Per Gessle” (To be Per Gessle) and co-host of Nordic Rox show on Sirius XM, was seen during Roxette’s Argentinian tour in Neuquen. It seems like this is the news many international fans waited for a very long time – rumour has it that he is currently writting an English language Roxette book.
Let’s keep fingers crossed for this to happen!
