For this project Per has joined forces with long-time Roxette collaborators Clarence Öfwerman, Jonas Isacsson, Christoffer Lundquist and Magnus Börjeson together with the amazing vocalists Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg, both closely linked to the Roxette touring band. Always being the main songwriter and driving force in the band he continues to work both in the studio and on the road. Per Gessle is determined to keep the Roxette legacy alive. But the songs were still here, there and everywhere. When Marie Fredriksson sadly lost her long battle to cancer in 2019, the Roxette saga seemed to be over. Breaking big all over the world in 1989, they would score four US Billboard Hot 100 Number One’s – “The Look”, “Listen To Your Heart”, “It Must Have Been Love”, and “Joyride”. Which they did like no other Scandinavian act. Starting his career in 1978 as the songwriter and lead vocalist in Swedish early 80´s pop phenomenon Gyllene Tider, he and singer Marie Fredriksson teamed up in Roxette with the humble aim to conquer the pop world. With a gift for catchy hooks, both musically and lyrically, he has composed chart-topping pop hits for more than four decades. Per Gessle is one of Scandinavia’s most successful artists and songwriters of all time.

Watch a short video of the recordings HERE! I’m extremely proud to be part of this Blacklist-project that connects artists and bands from all over the world for good causes. So what I’ve tried to create now is to make it sound like a classic Roxette song. We always joked about that it actually could have been an amazing Roxette ballad, hahaha! I remember hearing Nothing Else Matters all the time on the radio in the early 90’s when Marie and I travelled the world constantly. I’m very pleased and proud with the outcome.Īll proceeds from the recording will go to Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation and to UNHCR, a charity I chose together with Marie Fredriksson’s family. My ambition was to treat the song with respect while transforming it to a style of my own. Under the banner ”PG Roxette” I joined forces with long-time Roxers Clarence Öfwerman + Jonas Isacsson + Christoffer Lundquist + Magnus Börjeson together with Helena Josefsson + Dea Norberg, both closely linked to the Roxette touring band of the past. “Nothing Else Matters” has always been a favourite of mine. Picking a song to record from their classic “Black Album” was pretty easy for me. I’m thrilled to participate in the “Metallica Blacklist” project. In June, when PG shared the news he said: All profits will be donated to charities of each contributing artist’s choice along with Metallica’s own foundation, All Within My Hands. The Metallica Blacklist is now released digitally and will be out on 7 LPs / 4 CDs as well on 1st October. From the 12 tracks of the album Per didn’t hesitate when asked which one he wanted to interpret – he picked Nothing Else Matters.
