Today it had finished the second exhibition that Marie Fredriksson has realized from 2005. It began on February 7 under a great discrection.
The exhibition has been a success of public and of sales. Practically 300 catalogues (prize: 295 Sek) have disappeared. A great number of fans has flown from different points of the planet to see the fantastic works that there Marie Fredriksson has painted.
Let's hope that it is not her last exhibition that she realizes and even the great Swedish artist wants to do a session of signature of books for her fans.

H: It is a song from your new album, which you haven’t written by yourself this time.How did you choose the songs? MF: I have searched among old records at home.

Marie comments about the songs from "The change", album released in november 2004. The Change - An obvious song to open with and a natural title for the album. 2nd Chance - My song of happiness. I wrote the text very quickly. It was just there. All pieces fell into place and after this song the writing became a joy. All You Gotta Do Is Feel - This is Micke's song that he wrote a couple of years ago and one of my favourites. The entire composition is brash and loud (rock-n-roll) somemething I really love! April Snow - I wrote this song some time ago, when good friends of mine decided to go their separate ways. You get inspired by many things in life, not just your own. Love 2 Live - When we were on holiday in Miami, there was this guy playing in a bar. It happened to be Gary T, who was once with the same Swedish record company as Micke. Together, they finished the words to this song that Micke had already started. Mother - Recording this song was very special "we only made one recording. I felt such strength at that moment in time. A feeling that would be impossible to recreate, impossible to sing again". Many Times - One of many songs on the album recorded live with the band in the studio. There was such energy . I love those recordings and I am glad we have found a way back to that. All About You - This is actually a love song to me, written by Micke. Everyone ought to have a love song. The Good Life - Somehow, I feel that this classic is a key song for the album since it was the first song we recorded, initiating the entire project. Bad Moon - I originally wrote this song for Roxette many years ago. It just did not seem right at the time, but I have always liked Bad Moon and have kept it until now.
