Dance Away

When you dive into the recording of Dance Away, you encounter an interesting detail: the mixing of this piece involved the collaboration of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, the two pillars of Roxette, along with Clarence Öfwerman and Alar Suurna. This gives us an idea of how they worked at that time, involving the main members in the final stage of the sound. The song, with a duration of 3:25, is part of an album that marked a before and after for the Swedish duo.

This track was conceived during a period of great activity for Roxette, specifically during the recording of their second album, Look Sharp!. This work took place between March and September 1988 in studios in Stockholm and London. While commercial success in their native country was immediate, reaching number one and obtaining multiple platinum certifications, it was in the international market where the album truly exploded. The songs from Look Sharp!, including Dance Away, were what catapulted Roxette to global fame, achieving platinum certifications in various territories and placing several of their singles at the top of the charts.
