Wighfield

Wighfield is the stage name of Swedish musician Per Anders Magnusson, who started in heavy metal before moving to dance music in the early 1990s. His 1994 track 'Saturday Night' gained attention across Europe, but it was 'Close To You' that became his biggest hit, with its catchy melody and his distinctive vocals making it a staple of mid-90s Eurodance.

In 1996, he was involved in a legal dispute with the band Haddaway over allegations of plagiarism in his song 'Baby Jane.' He won the case, but the incident affected his reputation. Other songs like 'Ain't It Blue' and 'Gimme Gimme' followed, but the fast-changing dance scene and personal issues made it hard to sustain momentum.

He recorded several tracks during that period, including 'Big Time' and 'Don't Walk Away,' before fading from the spotlight. The details of his later work are sparse, but those early singles remain what most people remember.
