Title: Don't Bore Us - Get To The Chorus! Roxette's Greatest Hits Condition: New Format: CD Description: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ROXETTE
AMAZON Rarely has a "best-of" package been so aptly (or so admirably) named. While never quite able to shake off the inevitable ABBA comparisons, Sweden's Roxette have, indeed, worked to a fairly simple blueprint over the course of their 13-year career: simple, workmanlike songs with insistent hooks; occasionally daft lyrics--sounding, at times, like a cruel parody of Europop--and slick, radio-friendly production. In terms of commercial success, the result--over 40 million records sold--speaks for itself. Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson first came to international attention with two singles, "The Look" and "Dressed For Success"--the latter, perhaps the most naked declaration of intent since the Pet Shop Boys' "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)". The careful placement of "It Must Have Been Love" in the Pretty Woman soundtrack didn't exactly hurt their careers either, and from that point on their fame was assured. Later efforts ("June Afternoon", one of four new tracks included here) have hinted at the influence of Prince, but why change a winning formula? --Andrew McGuire Genre: Pop Artist: Roxette No Of Discs: 1 Record Label: Venture Entertainment EAN: 0724383546626 Type: Alle afdelingen MPN: 724383546626 Release Date: 08/07/2017 Release Year: 2017 Missing Information?
