"Around the corner (The comfort song)", which has just been released, features Helena Josefsson as guest singer.

In a personal letter, Per Gessle writes: “I completed 'Around the corner' the day after Marie died. Three days later, my mother-in-law died. Death was everywhere. I wrote it to myself. But I guess I also wrote it for all of you out there. We are many who have lost someone dear and who do not really know where to turn. "

Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle formed Roxette together in 1986 and a few years later the duo became world famous with songs such as "The look" and "It must have been love". She died on December 9 last year in the suites of a long-standing cancer disease.
