Het vind

The album was recorded with many of the same musicians who featured on Per Gessle's 1983 debut solo album, with whom Fredriksson would later form pop duo Roxette. Gessle composed two songs for the record: "Tag detta hjärta" ("Take This Heart") and "Rickie Lee", although the latter was not selected for inclusion. Gessle's own recording of the song subsequently appeared on his 1985 album Scener, and Fredriksson's version would remain unreleased until Het vind was remastered and reissued on CD in 2003.[3]

Unlike the power pop of Fredriksson's previous band MaMas Barn (MaMas Children) – which she formed in the late 70's with her then-boyfriend Martin Sternhufvud, who also wrote one song for the album: "Jag ska ge allt" ("I'll Give Everything"), Het vind is a relatively contemporary record. The material differs from her previous band in that it has a more soft rock lean, and several songs feature arrangements indicative of Roxette's later hit power ballads, such as "Listen to Your Heart" and "Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)". A number of other songs contain elements of disco and 80s synth-pop.[4]
