Roxette

Roxette is a Swedish pop rock duo formed in 1986, fronted by vocalist Marie Fredriksson and songwriter and guitarist Per Gessle. Their sound combines melodic, hook-driven pop songwriting with rock instrumentation and polished studio production, alternating between upbeat, radio-friendly tracks and expressive ballads, and frequently featuring the interplay of Fredriksson's lead vocals and Gessle's harmonies and songwriting voice. They emerged from Sweden and became one of the country's prominent pop acts of their era.
