» INFO | did you know? « By the time singer/songwriters Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson came together officially as Roxette, both were established artists in Sweden. They met in 1979 while in separate bands.

In 1981, Fredriksson sang for the first time with Gyllene Tider and was featured as a background vocalist for a Swedish-language album the band released in 1982 and for a Swedish-language solo album Gessle released in 1983. » INFO | did you know? « Roxette took a turn -- "adult," as Marie Fredriksson described -- with the 1994 release of Crash!

Though the two have an edge on this album, they almost seem to have become a bit bored." Roxette | Voice RingtonesDisplaying 1 - 1 of 1 ringtones:
