Per Gessle writes soundtrack for new Jonas Åkerlund film

Per Gessle has just confirmed what we already suspected in November: that the soundtrack he was working on is indeed for “Small Apartments”, the new film by Jonas Åkerlund. Per has just written the following on Facebook:

Yes Box Alright! I’ve done the soundtrack, based on the Son of a Plumber vibe, for Jonas Åkerlund’s new movie “Small Apartments”. The music has been recorded at the AGM Studio and as expected the mighty Mr Lundquist & Mr Ofwerman have been the cornerstones. The film? Well, it’s a “dark comedy” (based on the S.A. novel) starring Matt Lucas, Billy Crystal, James Caan and Peter Stormare in the leading parts. And yes, it’s a wonderful movie. And yes, there will be a soundtrack. And yes, we have to release it on vinyl as well. I’m really proud to be part of this. Cheers, P. PS. Jonas is God.

So if we didn’t have enough with Tourism 2 (or 2rism or 2Rism or however it will be called) and the tour.. there is even more for our ears this year.

“No One Makes It On Her Own” video got officially launched

This week saw the official media release of Roxette’s music video for the 4th “Charm School” single “No One Makes It On Her Own”. The beautiful animated video for the download-only single was made by Russian fan Tanya Rush and got published already in March. EMI now decided to buy and use it as the official video for the ballad.

The animated work appears to be retouched a bit if you compare the old Youtube with the new DailyMotion or MyVideo (D-A-CH) upload. There’s also a new end screen.

The single itself has no specific release date, since there’s no CD or download bundle – not even a cover. Just buy an album version if you haven’t yet!

Charm School demos will be revealed tomorrow – in Barcelona

In case you are attending the Roxette concert in Barcelona tomorrow, you should also consider to attend the huge fan party afterwards.
The Charm School demos, which will be released on the revisited edition of the album next week, will be played exclusively tomorrow evening.

So take your time and join the party!
