Description/Reviews
Sjöblom is no stranger to releasing multi-chapter pieces (see Sleeping in Traffic, “The One Inside,” and “A Love Story,” for instance), so it makes sense that the LP begins with “Love and War Part One: I Am Who You Are.” Led by a quick, upbeat tempo, warm acoustic guitar strums, and various subtle effects, it’s a bit folksy, to be honest, and as expected, very catchy. Really, it’s among the most accessible and uplifting tracks he’s ever composed (although there are still flourishes of prog rock complexity throughout). It would do well as a radio single.
