Cover of Lucy Dacus' latest album, Forever Is a Feeling.
Lucy Dacus explores a new sound for her music with her latest release. On March 28, Dacus released her first album since 2021, “Forever Is a Feeling.” This album marks a significant change in her style, being more string-focused than her usual indie rock sound in previous albums like “Historian” and “No Burden.” To go more in depth in how she presented this new album, here are my track by track thoughts.
Overall, “Forever Is a Feeling” is an excellent example of how to effectively change artistic styles. Even if slight, it was fun hearing how Dacus explored different approaches to her instrumentation. It didn’t feel like a few songs that she decided to throw together and release, it felt like a cohesive and intentional project. Because of this and the good production, I give this album an 8/10, but there were many overlooked details that deteriorate the experience of the album. However, the overall quality of the album was excellent and I plan on listening to it frequently.
