Roxette back with new album Travelling.Three years after their 2009 comeback, Swedish pop phenomenon Roxette are hotter than theyve been since their early 90s heydays. Their world tour is in full swing with almost a million concert tickets sold since the tour kicked off in the Tatneft Arena in Russian Kazan a year ago. On top of that another million Roxette records has been added to the already dizzying 70 million that Roxette has sold over the years. The idea has been to tap into all the positive energy that has boosted the band during this dazzling trip, and channel it to new Roxette music. In short, an album that just like 1992s Tourism captures the feeling of a band on a rollconstantly on the move, snatching inspiration as they go; recording in hotel rooms, studios, at sound checks and in concert. The result is a fascinating musical postcard with 15 superb songs, most of which are new, some that are revisited classics and others being pearls that for various reasons hasnt seen the light of day before. A tight and inspired band has gathered around a batch of Gessle tunes, where the relentless hit-maker again and again proves that his sense of melody and ability to surprise is still top-notch.
