11th studio album by Eva Dahlgren is a fine return to form. After her '95 collaboration album with Anders Hillborg, she released the self-produced album Lai Lai in 1999.
Snö signals a change of style away from her rock and pop / rock image. The album is much more laid-back and more singer / songwriter founded and it's the closest she has been so far in making a more traditional folk album. As a natural consequence, most of the songs are ballads, which I think is her strongest form. "Det som bär mig nu" and "När jag längtar" were single releases - the first the perhaps most up-tempo song from the album, but really not the best. The album is in my mind one of her absolute best.
