Description

Roxette vocalist Marie Fredriksson was diagnosed with malignant brain tumour in 2002. As a theraphy her husband and Marie started to work on a solo album in English. The end result would be The Change, her sixth studio album. Musically, the record is inspired and influenced by roots, rhythm and blues and gospel music that Marie listened to as a child. Fredriksson also created the album’s cover art with charcoal in her dining room as another form of therapy. The album was a commercial success in Sweden, debuting at number one and being certified gold for shipments of over 30,000 units. Many hailed The Change as a triumph with everything that Marie went through at the time. This also shows that the human creativity peaks when an individual is in crisis and The Change became her most important album in her career, even though it wasnt her best.
