Tobias Froberg has released two albums, For Elisabeth Wherever You Are and Somewhere in the City . You can have a listen off his myspace page or his official website . News January 2008: The new album Turn Heads is mastered and ready to be launched. But first, Tobias will go to New Orleans to produce swedish-american singer Theresa Anderson's new album.

Now that we've laid down the basics for what makes an anthem, an anthem, I think it's time we got down to some more specifics in our final segment. I hope you're enjoyed this segment of anthems, and my pseudo-intellectual approach to dissecting its instant appeal. You might think this all a bunch of BS-that's fine-but trust me on the sunscreen. 5) Case in Point: Art of Fighting - Eastbound Yes, this song has been featured on this blog before, but it's awesome enough to show up again.

Am I the only person on Earth who believes Justin Timberlake is overrated? 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' wasn't all that, and the latest single 'What Goes Around...Comes Around' is a piece of bland, overproduced pop ballad that tried too hard to repeat the success of 'Cry Me A River'. The 'epic' music video is atrocious, too. It didn't help that his public image makes me think of him as a self-indulgent, cocky, whiny, annoying momma's boy...Feels good to let that out. Just an opinion, don't hate-mail me. Apparently, Swedish musician Tobias Forberg has done his own indie-pop cover version of 'What [...]
Once again I'm really busy, so I only have time to post a quick one from the mailbox. Swedish singer Tobias Fröberg covers What Goes Around by Justin Timberlake . This version is a lot (and despite the Swedish accent, I mean a LOT) more likeable than the original (probably because JT is second on my list of "least-favorite-artists"). + What Goes Around

Cheap Lullaby artist Tobias Froberg sings Justin Timberlake's What Goes Around Comes Around in his sweet little Swedish accent. It's kinda funny. It almost comes off lethargic...not quite the same amount of hurt or anger as we got from Justin. I really enjoyed Froberg's 2006 effort, Somewhere In The City . You can purchase the whole thing or just a few tracks at his [...]
Avi Roig is a Scandinavian music expert. In fact it's all he writes about on his website It'a a Trap . He even puts out records too . Below he talks about eleven Swedish artists that are visiting the U.S. this month to play SXSW and elsewhere. --- DOWNLOAD: Marit Bergman - No Party (MP3) Consensus has it that Marit Bergman 's latest album "I think it's a rainbow" [...]

I'm still sick, but since SXSW have announced their lineup, with free mp3s as usual, here's a look at some of those playing this year. Una has a list of irish performers. Duke Special, the man above isn't playing, but he will be playing Berlin soon, and hopefully I'll regain my health in time to see him. Have a nice weekend.

Hayden - " Hollywood Ending " [mp3] Canadian Hayden Desser is so laid back, you might miss just how damn good he is. Like an athlete who's so smooth that he appears to be coasting on the field, Hayden can have the same effect with his throat of Northern smoke and low key song characters. But this song bursts into flame in several places; the wacked out LA storyline, the la la la la la's, and the surprisingly perfect trumpet. HAYDEN : official site * record [...]

As mentioned before here on ThaBombShelter , we're big fans of Paste Magazine . Tobias Froberg is one of the reasons why. Featured in this month's "4 to Watch" section, Froberg's gentle, acoustic singer-songwriter style is right up Paste's alley. I've been listening to his second album, "Somewhere in the City" for the past several days, and it just keeps getting better and better. Paste recommended his music for fans of Paul Simon [...]

Sweden On the latest album from Tobias Froberg he gets a lot of help from people like Linus Larrson, Ane Brun, and Teitur. This is recommended for anyone who likes artists like Jose Gonzalez . "What A Day" Tobias Froberg on MySpace
The beauty of Somewhere In The City, Tobias Froberg's sophomore LP, comes from its ability to travel without a road map. Throughout the album, Tobias continually remains "somewhere," while in turn allowing himself to be everywhere. By refusing to pin himself to one point on the globe, a pitfall of many current singer songwriters, Somewhere In The City builds upon itself with each song sung, yet
Tobias Froberg is one of those Scandinavians we've all come to love recently - like Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche, Jens Lekman - and specifically, Froberg is from Sweden - and of those, he sounds most like Kings of Convenience. The tracks on Somewhere In the City are mostly sparse, warm acoustic songs with the occasional eclectic arrangement. Case in point: Tobias Froberg - God's Highway. Here's what Froberg says about it on his site: "I wrote that song in a guitar store, trying an old guitar. Immediately I heard two lead-vocals, the vocal arrangements came to me in that...
