Roxette
A Swedish duo of pop musicians, Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson[?]. Like many Swedish artists, their material was sung in English.
They had several Top 10 hit singles around the globe, including "It Must Have Been Love", which featured on the soundtrack to the movie Pretty Woman, "The Look", and "Joyride".
Their music is best summed-up by the title of their greatest hits album - fresh, melodic pop featuring Fredriksson's voice (though "The Look" was sung mainly by Gessle), and Gessle's jangly guitar.
