Swedish singer-songwriter Tobias Froburg has just released a new full-length album Somewhere in the City. The album is a mixture of folk and alternative with a hint of pop just to mix it up a bit.

You know when you are that tired you just can’t sleep, well put Love and Misery (A Duet With Ane Brun) to make you fall asleep. It is painfully slow and drags on for way too long. It would put even the worst insomniac to sleep.

Picking the pace up a bit is Forever is Just a Word in a Love Song. It manages to slightly redeem the album but the only problem is it is not until the end of the album that you get to the song. The only problem is the word “forever” is repeated about thirty times before the end of the song. It takes repetition to a new level.

Oh My Love (Here She Comes Again) is another one of those tracks that is quite slow. The difference with this one is that his vocal work is much more suited to the slow tempo of the song. The guitar work also is a major highlight of this song.

Tobias shows potential but a weak track list makes this album less than it could be.
