LIMITED COLLECTOR’S EDITION that includes Marie’s 2004
English-language solo album The Change on CD—previously
unreleased in any physical format in North America—as well as
bonus track “Sea of Love” (2017), the last song that Marie
recorded. This edition also contains foil gilded page edges and a
satin ribbon marker. Listen to My Heart is a completely candid and
passionate, heartbreaking yet often witty life story of one of rock
music’s most resilient lead singers, Marie Fredriksson from
Roxette ("It Must Have Been Love," "Listen to Your Heart," "The
Look," "Joyride"). Given only a few months to live following a
harrowing diagnosis in 2002, Marie boldly forged ahead into a life
with newfound courage and inspiration. She continued as both a solo
singer and with Roxette, where she performed over 550 concerts,
sold 75 million records, and released over 50 singles including
several global hits. In all, Roxette is Sweden’s biggest music
group—second only to ABBA. Filled with behind-the-scenes stories
involving everyone from Tina Turner and Elton John to The Rolling
Stones and Frank Sinatra, Listen to My Heart also explores her
humble family beginnings, an early tragedy in the sudden loss of
Marie’s sister, her transition into the music industry as a solo
artist, and the formation and challenges of being in one of the
world’s most successful pop groups. All while trying to maintain
a stable marriage and being a mother to two young children in the
face of a life-altering illness. Marie passed away in the
aftermath of her diagnosis in December, 2019. Heart-wrenching yet
winning, and told with exceptional energy and sincerity, Listen to
My Heart sheds new and revelatory light on the life and work of one
of our generation’s most talented and courageous artists.
Contains a foreword by Marie’s longtime friend, director Jonas
Akerlund (Madonna, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, U2) and over 100
personal photographs, live and backstage shots, and memorabilia
images.
