""Antligen" is a Swedish language greatest hits collection of ROXETTE's Marie Fredriksson's swedish solo work. This is a wonderful album. The styles of songs vary and the melodies are instant. Marie's voice is beautiful...it makes the songs come alive. You don't have to understand Swedish to appreciate this effort. The feeling transcends the language. My personal favorites are "Om du sag mej nu" (If you saw me now) "Mellan sommar och host"(Between summer and fall) and "Efter Stormen" (After the Storm). These songs have at the same time a familiarity and a uniqueness. Some of the songs have an 80's pop ballad sound while some of the newer songs have very interesting productions and melodies. Not overproduced at all...the true music of the songs shine through...and with Maries beautiful expressive voice; it makes for a fine combination that's definitely refreshing. You don't have to be Swedish to enjoy this album, the songs speak for themselves. Turn it up loud and enjoy the artistry of Marie Fredriksson! TAK SA MYCKET MARIE FOR DITT ROST OCH MUSIK!"
Incredible! You must own this cd!

"I recently bought Äntligen, and all I can say is WOW. I've been a fan of Marie's since 1988, when I first really got into Roxette, and had heard some of her solo music, but this album really captures all of her best. From classics like "I En Tid Som Vär" and "Efter Stormen," to her new release, "Äntligen," Marie's voice is incredible, and I really can't say enough about this album! It's great if you're like me, an American fan who wants her music but can't afford to pay $30 for each of her solo albums. This has all the best, and even though the price is a bit steep, I promise you, it's very worth it. So you don't speak Swedish...doesn't matter! You can identify with the emotion in her voice. Marie is a true diva, and this album is a must-have for fans, and anyone who can appreciate such talent. Tack så mycket, Marie...jag älskar dig!!"
Tack sa Mycket och Grattis Marie! (THANKS MARIE!)

Her voice is exquisit and is honestly best appreciated in Swedish,her English eforts with Roxette are brilliant too though! If you love Roxette and are curious as to Marie's solo efforts,this is a great cd to get started!"
