The Swedish rock trio known as One
Vision have released their highly awaited debut video, “I Want
You.” The video was shot on-location at Bohus Fortress, built in
1308 on the old border between Norway and Sweden, from which castle
the surrounding county takes its name. The video has been produced by
Joakim Poromaa Helger. Exciting, melodic, and bearing the tale of a
young noblewoman and her sworn protector, “I Want You” is a rock
video which hearkens to the beat of romantic history.

One Vision are guitarist Roger
Pettersson, keyboardist Pia Pettersson and lead singer Stefan
Palmberg. They have cited as main artistic influences such legendary
bands of the rock genre as Whitesnake, Journey, U2, and fellow
Swedish crew, Europe, as well as their musical contemporaries from
the Netherlands, Within Temptation.
As might be surmised, One Vision's own
sound is a blend of the above with certain key similarities making
them stand out from the rest. Their blend of soaring electric guitar
and agile, dynamic keyboard sounds is reminiscent of Europe's early
work, while the overall production, narrative lyrics and symphonic
rock feel are closer to those of Within Temptation. Many of One
Vision's songs are inspired by a Gothic or Medieval sound and their
lyrics are often narrative. The opening bars of “I Want You”
seamlessly connect One Vision's brand of rock music to the music of
lute-playing minstrels in the Middle Ages.
One Vision's current official bio
describes them as a “soft hard-rock band” from Gothenburg. The
band was started in 2012 by guitarist Roger Pettersson and lead
singer Stefan Palmberg. Roger started his music career in the early
1980s and has since toured with many different Swedish bands while
sometimes working as a studio musician. In 2012 Roger began for real
to produce his own songs and started One Vision with Stefan.
Stefan has always had a special love
for music and in particular towards the rock genre. At the age of 14
he joined his first group of fellow rock lovers as a drummer. It was
several years later that he realized his potential as a singer and
the urge to develop as one. Since then he has played with several
other bands and musicians before finally meeting Roger and joining
One Vision.
