Roxette – Baladas en Español album art
In 1996 Roxette decided to thank their Spanish speaking fanbase with an album in Spanish. They collected all their successful ballads such as “Listen to Your Heart” and “Spending My Time” and translated them into Spanish. The Spanish lyrics were written by Luis Gomez Escolar and Roxette caught a lot of flak regarding his translations as they were regarded as ‘childish’ by the fans.
Per and Marie don’t speak Spanish so they didn’t realize this. Also they were given a line in Spanish to sing in the studio, and when that line was nailed, they were given another. According to the Spanish speaking fans their pronounciation is great. The album was re-released digitally in 2022 with added tracks and a different running order.
The album cover was designed by Kjell Anderson, using Corporate S throughout.
