Today I’m listening to Magnus Bergman’s fourth solo album “Ljusspår”. And I like what I hear, the best I’ve heard from Magnus so far. With flangy sixties’ guitars and a double bass in the frontline he manages to create his own warm sound. A sound with which he can safely wander between the songs and the style variations without losing anyone; from early Direstraits-rock to country rock to folk pop and even some rockabilly doses. And Magnus himself sings with a comfortable, relaxed expression, conveying the theme of the album, which is about the story of a man who finds his way home in life, first of all within himself. A classy album, both when it comes to songwriting and production.
The songwriter, producer and musician Magnus Bergman has just released his fourth solo album “I Mexico” (Tailor Maid). An album that was a pleasant surprise and real entertaining to listen through.
Magnus has managed to create an album with a lot of variation. The base is in a Swedish singer/songwriter pop with interesting and thoughtful lyrics and with influences from classic rock, americana and country in various songs. Really good melodies that together with Magnus personal and expressive voice create a nice, special atmosphere.
