Time for a Miracle

Time for a Miracle is the second album, released by Frontiers on 4 September 2020. The bass chair had changed: Mats Byström came in for P-O Sedin. Outside hands appear from this record on. Mårten Eriksson mixed it, and Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers — the man behind Rammstein and Volbeat records — mastered. Kent Hilli said on announcement that it was slightly heavier and bluesier than the debut, with good riffs, and that Rolf Nordström's playing on it was out of this world. Of the title, he added that it suited a moment when the world was going through hard times. The title track breaks into a run out of a fanfare-tinged opening, and "Better Walk Alone" follows. Hilli wrote that one during a low period, and has said it is about facing a relationship that has reached a dead end and choosing separate roads; it became the first single, with a video by Marcus Stridsberg. "Heart to Stone" leans toward Foreigner-style AOR, and "Fighting to Win" is the piano ballad, which the band dedicated to their partners and children. The high chorus of "What About Love" and the speed and bluesy habits of "Nobody's Fool" lead to "Don't Leave Me Here Alone," closing all twelve.
