Forever Turned Around

Whitney accomplish a grandeur all their own on Forever…, finding themselves, right now, exactly where they should be.

A deeper look at Forever Turned Around reveals a score of meticulously crafted songs that all work together to create a very specific mood, a near-flawless soundtrack for the changing of the seasons.

Even though they sound like they’re strumming their way through a lazy afternoon, they have a lot on their mind.

All of the beats are familiar, perhaps to a fault, from the instrumental at the midpoint to the shyly epic closer, but Forever Turned Around represents nuanced progress from an admirably subtle band.

Sometimes no big surprises is a welcome result.

‘Forever Turned Around’ may not be a record that will quicken any pulses but what it lacks in bangers, it makes up for in beauty.

Forever Turn Around ends up being meandering, sleepy sometimes to a fault, a charmingly doe-eyed take on the kind of classic rock revivalism that plays well at music festivals.

Forever Turned Around is striking in its warmth.

Forever Turned Around is a bold accomplishment by Whitney, the perfect record for the nights where summer turns to fall, and after a beer or two, you fill with memories of what could have been.

None of it’s new, but it’s proof that a lot can still be done with a beery-eyed keyboard and a six-string strum.

Though relying on their well-worn instrumental strengths and lacking Light Upon the Lake's compositional variance, Forever Turned Around sharpens Whitney's songwriting for another intimate collection of heartfelt tunes.
