5.0 out of 5 stars The Change Album, December 12, 2004

This review is from: Change (Audio CD)

This album is great. This album started being produced after Marie Fredriksson's battle with cancer. On September 11, 2002 she collapsed in her bathroom and was rushed to the emergency room where they found she had a brain tumor.

This album reflects her emotional pain from this incident. All the songs are great on this album. My favorites are 2nd Chance, The Change Orchestra, All you've gotta do is Feel, Mother, and Love 2 Live.

Bad Moon was written by Marie for Roxette, but she finally put it on this album.

This album is awesome. It is not very dark and gloomy as one might expect, but rather an album about surviving a terrible tragedy.

The songs on the album reflect the style of Marie and Roxette's previous work. I would rate this album higher than a five if I could. Goto Maries site at www.mariefredriksson.net

4.0 out of 5 stars Marie's Back, August 28, 2005

For those who may not know, Marie Fredriksson is the Swedish power songstress from the 80's pop group Roxette, which she co-fronted with Swedish pop veteran Per Gessle. 'The Change' is her first solo album in English since the last offering by Roxette.

I purchased the CD hoping to hear more of the kind of soulful introspection I enjoyed on her tracks with Roxette. And I'm happy to say I was not disappointed.

Granted, among Roxette fans, there are those who gravitated more to Per's upbeat happy-fun music, and those fans will admittedly find less to like on this album. But for the rest of us who want something a little more substantial in their music, Marie delivers in spades with this work.

Highlights of this album for me were 'Love 2 Live' and 'Mother'. Heartily recommended.

Marie has a fantastic voice but I am totally disappointed in her
songs. Her voice is so powerful and the songs just don't make use of it.
