Singles from Mazarin

Mazarin is the fourth studio album by Swedish pop musician Per Gessle, released on 16 June 2003.

Per Gessle thought of this album as his little side project from Roxette, but it turned out to be a huge success, subsequently being certified 5× platinum status in Sweden. He also played some of the songs from it on the Gyllene Tider's Finn 5 fel! tour in 2004, despite the fact that they were not Gyllene Tider songs.
