RunToRoxette.com site did an interesting interview with Mats Udd, the director of the latest Roxette video for “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)” single. The interview is English and you can read it here.
Here is one of the most interesting answers Mats gave:
What is the spirit of the video for “She’s got nothing on (But The Radio)”? I actually sent four ideas which was very different from eachother and they pick the last one and it was the most brightest idea cos they wanted a happy video. So that’s the spirit of the video, happiness but I tried to do it with a little twist. Of course, I wanted to go much deeper into weirdness but I guess that wouldn’t be true to the Roxette fans haha.
Mats Udd, on his own blog site, published some photos from the making of the “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)” video. On December 21st, the second day of the recordings, Mats posted 4 photos – on that Tuesday “the story part” was recorded. It is unknown if these photograpies are some scences from the video or just the people behind this clip.
Per Gessle has informed us today that he just got hold of the first version of the She’s Got Nothing On (But The Radio)-video clip and that it looks promising. The premiere is schedule on January 7th.
26-year-old Mats Udd from Falun is working on the new Roxette video for “She’s got nothing on (but the radio)” single. The world premiere is scheduled for January 7th.
EMI Svenska liked Mats Udd’s videos which he did for e.g. Swedish musician Familjen and he was appointed to record the new Roxette video in the end of November.
– I gave them four proposals and one of them was chosen. Just over a week ago I was told that “we are doing this”. On Monday I filmed Per and Marie and on Tuesday we did a story part.
The video will be put together in New York as Mats Udd is planing to spend Christmas holidays there.
He has made many other clips before for such artists like Timo Räisänen, First Aid Kit and Those Dancing Days. With Roxette for the very first time he has got the chance to work with a much larger productions.
It was a windy and cold night in Norwegian Stavanger on August 21st when Roxette performed in front of over 8,000 people. In fact it was unforgettable evening even for nature as the beach where the gig took place was so destroyed during the concert that it is very probable that there will be no Summer Festival out there next year.
To quote Per G.
Truely magnificent gig in Stavanger. Thanx everyone for making life sweet!!!!
Marie was great. Her hi-lites were Halmstad, Stavanger and St. Peter.
Spanish fan team decided to record everything on tape (high quality one! :), but there was some minor problems and that is the reason why the first two songs – “Dressed for success” and “Sleeping in my car” are missing. Anyway – sweet sixteen from Stavanger only for you on RXB.
