Pop-Up Dynamo! is the debut studio album by Swedish pop band PG Roxette, released on 19 October 2022 by Elevator Entertainment and Parlophone. The band was formed by Roxette songwriter Per Gessle following the death of vocalist Marie Fredriksson in 2019. The album was recorded alongside several long-time Roxette contributors, including keyboardist and producer Clarence Öfwerman, bassist Magnus Börjeson, guitarists Jonas Isacsson and Christoffer Lundquist, and vocalists Helena Josefsson and Dea Norberg. The record also features vocals from Swedish singer Léon.
Five singles were released from the album: "The Loneliest Girl in the World", "Walking on Air", "My Chosen One", "Headphones On", and a Lost Boys remix of "The Craziest Thing". Several other releases were issued by the band during the album's promotion cycle, including the non-album single "Wish You the Best for Xmas", and the four track Incognito EP. The band also released a cover version of the Metallica song "Nothing Else Matters".
The album received generally positive reviews upon release, with reviews commending Gessle for continuing to record using the traditional Roxette sound. It was a commercial success as well, debuting at number two in Gessle's native Sweden, and charting in several other European territories.
