Per Gessle Talks P-UD! - Idea

The idea behind "Pop Up Dynamo" was to recreate the style of songwriting I had

When I wrote Roxette's Luke Sharp and Joyride

As a songwriter, you tend to develop and change without realizing it

Nobody invents the wheel anymore, but you slowly alter your direction and style

Because the rest of the world is spinning around

Things change

That's natural and normal, and it has to be like that

I wanted to try to go back to the style I had in, let's say, 1988, and go from there

I didn't want it to sound like a retro record

I wanted a modern twist in the production

But I wanted myself to write songs in the manner I did in the late '80s and early '90s

It felt very inspiring
