Synopsis

Roxette perform "Fingertips '93" in a stark monochrome video built around close-ups, shadowy lighting, and energetic performance footage. Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle appear separately and together as the camera moves between intimate portraits and stylized shots of the duo and their band. The stripped-back black-and-white presentation gives the song a moodier, more serious edge than many of Roxette's brightly colored early-1990s videos, keeping the focus on the vocals, attitude, and unusual atmosphere.

Factoids & Trivia

• "Fingertips '93" was the electrified single version of "Fingertips," which originally appeared on the 1992 album *Tourism* in a more acoustic arrangement.

• The original recording was made during Roxette's 1992 touring period, with sessions taking place at Nas Nuvens in Rio de Janeiro. The single version was remixed later at EMI Studios in Stockholm.

• The single was released on January 26, 1993, but only in selected markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Belgium, and Australia.

• Its commercial performance was modest. The song reached No. 30 in Spain and No. 2 on the Dutch Tipparade, rather than becoming one of Roxette's major international hits.

• The video is notable for its monochrome visual style and relatively minimal presentation. It is more performance-oriented and less narrative-driven than several of the duo's better-known videos.

• "Fingertips '93" was included on Roxette's 1995 video compilation, which helped preserve the clip despite the single's limited release and comparatively low profile.

• The song later appeared as a bonus track on selected editions of the "Almost Unreal" single. Some cover artwork for that release also used imagery associated with the "Fingertips '93" video.
