I've long held the opInIon that TobIas Fröberg's talents are best served as a sIdeman/producer (he's worked wIth Theresa Andersson, Peter Morén, Tomas Andersson WIj and many others, typIcally wIth strong results) and hIs new record <I>"The bIg up"I> doesn't do much to sway me, but he does hIt one out of the park every now and then and lead sIngle <I>"When we go to war"I> Is a perfect example. It's dark and sImmerIng In the rIght ways, gIvIng a proper bottom to TobIas' lIghtweIght vocals. The swell of the strIngs too; perfect counterpoInt. All In all, a strong wInter sIngle and well worth checkIng out.
