 TWAS 156: Gyllene Tider, Per Gessle, MaMas Barn, Marie Fredriksson, Roxette, Per Gessle
Pearls of Passion, the long-rumored reissue of Roxette's first album, was on my list, but I was pretty sure it hadn't been released yet, and otherwise my Roxette collection was more or less complete.
How Roxette's flawless pop got constituted out of these ingredients, though, is only marginally clearer to me now than it was when my knowledge of their history began with "The Look".
"Pearls of Passion" could be nothing more than oblivious nostalgia, but instead of returning to the time when pearls of passion came their way, it's alleys they're retreating to, so they know that recapturing old glories entails losing other things.

 Soul Deep by Roxette: Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Roxette's debut album, issued in late 1986, is a portrait of a band in its formative stages.
Both Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson had previously pursued solo careers in their native Sweden, and Pearls of Passion was the band's attempt at international stardom.
It was preceded in the summer by a very '80s pop single called "Everlasting Love," which became the band's first bonafide hit...at least within Sweden.

When the album was released later that year, things were much the same; while the album was a hit in Sweden, the rest of the world failed to pay much attention at all.
And listening to the album, it's not that hard to tell why: nothing here is bad, but it lacks nearly all of the elements that made albums like Joyride and Look Sharp into massive hits just a few years later.
Roxette's most intriguing qualities are that they are a pop band that can rock and that Gessle is a crack songwriter that almost never produces a bad tune.

Their music is best summed up by the title of their greatest hits album - fresh, melodic pop featuring Fredriksson's voice (though "The Look" was sung mainly by Gessle), and Gessle's jangly guitar.
With the release of Pearls of Passion in 1986 Roxette became a hit in Sweden and later also abroad, and it was quickly followed with a remix album, Dance Passion.
