<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nForever the Forest Sings <\/em><\/strong>is a new collection of solo piano pieces by Finnish-Swedish pianist and composer Julia Andersson<\/strong> inspired by the forests of her homeland and the seasonal changes and emotional landscapes they reflect. Written and recorded at home over the course of what she considers a transformative year, the songs are meant to represent moments of reflection\u2013\u201dlike wandering through a forest where every trail holds a different story, yet each one leads inward\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A certain quietude and affecting melancholy permeate the music and in the listening one feels a grounded sense of stillness. As she demonstrated on her previous album Dr\u200b\u00f6\u200bm<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (2023), Andersson is an expressive composer and performer, and she is at her spellbinding best here aging. The heart of the new album, we are told, is about \u201cfinding refuge amid life\u2019s constant changes\u201d and \u201can invitation to pause, to listen, and to remember there is always a place of grounding\u201d and that is a welcome invitation indeed. <\/p>\n Prior to the release of Forever the Forest Sings<\/em><\/strong> later this month, take a moment to enjoy this beautifully shot video of Julia performing the albums third single entitled \u201cBlank Slate\u201d in which she gently evokes the contrasting and sometimes complex emotions experienced that come with new directions and life changes. <\/p>\n \n
