They just want to use everything at their disposal to hook you. Still, Roxette is in no danger of being mistaken for speed-metal Huns like Slayer. By doing this, Roxette has racked up an impressive string of hits and become worthy successors to the tradition of air-headed catchiness set down by their fellow Swedish pop tarts, Abba, although this duo isn’t intimidated by electric guitars and its female singer, Marie Fredriksson, goes for a bit more grit.
