小簡介
Per.Gessle1959年生于瑞典Halmstad。Gessle是瑞典流行樂壇最驕傲的創(chuàng)作型藝人,他的妻子名叫 Nordin.Gessle。組建Roxette前他曾是著名樂隊“Gyllene TIder”(Gold Times)成員。他們僅在北歐銷售超過百萬張唱片。 1986年她與Per.Gessel首次合作組建Roxette。她們錄制了單曲《Neverending Love》,很快這首歌便成為瑞典最紅的曲目,同年他們推行第一張專輯《Pearls of Passion》。 1983年P(guān)er推出第一張個人專輯,它與“Gyllene Tider”風(fēng)格迥異。1984年“Gyllene TIder”試圖把他們的音樂推向世界,他們以“Roxette”的為新隊名在美國推出新專輯。第二年樂隊解散,同年P(guān)er出了他個人第二張專輯。次年 Per與Marie組成Roxette樂隊。Per創(chuàng)作了Roxette樂隊決大部分歌曲,他或許是世界上最好的歌曲創(chuàng)作人。
As one half of the duo Roxette, Per Gessle became one of the most successful Swedish artists ever, and probably the one earning the most money from his music. Gessle does have a certain gift for catchy hooks, but he also worked diligently to break worldwide through his entire career. When the teen idol band Gyllene Tider failed to do so, only being one of the best-selling bands in Sweden, he disbanded the group and tried a solo career, until finally settling on the duo format together with Marie Fredriksson. His music has always been on the lightweight side and never very inventive (the lyrics even less so), but Gessle has proven to be a very skilled songwriter.
Per Gessle was born in the seaside town of Halmstad in southwestern Sweden. Inspired by the new wave movement, he had a brief session in the duo Grape Rock in the late '70s, before forming Gyllene Tider. Within a few years, their nonsense lyrics and extremely catchy hooks had Sweden entranced, and they caused chaos on their summer tours. In 1983, while most of the band members were doing their military service, Gessle released his self-titled solo debut, but it didn't come close to the success of Gyllene Tider. In 1984, the band had reunited and tried for the North American market, touring under the name Roxette (a different Roxette than the duo Gessle later formed together with Marie Fredriksson), but passed relatively unnoticed. Discouraged by the failure, Gessle, who has always been more inventive commercially than artistically, disbanded the band and released another solo album, Scener, while forming the actual Roxette as a side project.
The other part of Roxette, Marie Fredriksson had a more arty reputation than Gessle, and was initially advised not to spoil her solo career by singing lightweight pop music. The advice went unheard though, and in 1986 Roxette's debut album, Pearls of Passion, was released. In two years, they had become one of Sweden's most popular groups, and in another year they reached number one on the American charts for the first time. During the first half of the '90s, Roxette was tremendously successful worldwide, while getting little acceptance from the critics. In the late '90s, they lost much of their audience in Europe and North America, but kept up a solid following in Asia and South America.
In 1996, Gyllene Tider reunited for a summer tour, releasing an EP with newly written songs, as well as re-releasing a compilation. Both sold extremely well on the Swedish market. The next year, Gessle released his third solo album, which was the first one in English, this time backed by members of Gyllene Tider and Brainpool. The album, called The World According to Per Gessle, didn't sell well even at home, but proved that Gessle hadn't got all caught up in formula at a time when Roxette had started to feel pretty outdated. The following two albums by the group did little to change that impression.
