The band's first two albums are primarily influenced by the popular music of the late 1950's to early 1960's. With their third album Into the Light, Weeping Willows took a stylistic turn towards a more modern sound with alternative rock leanings.Singer Magnus Carlson has also made albums as a solo artist and is due to duet with fellow Swedish band West End Girls on a cover of the Pet Shop Boys' single "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" in February 2008.
