In this week’s conversation, Per Gessle of Roxette discusses the creative process behind iconic songs like 'It Must Have Been Love' and 'The Look', and the unexpected journey of their music from Sweden to global fame, particularly through its association with the film 'Pretty Woman'. He shares insights into his songwriting process, the evolution of Joyride - The Musical, and the legacy of Roxette, especially in light of Marie Fredriksson's passing.
