The Canadian-American ambient pop artist, Hollie Kenniff’s full-length, For Forever, is streaked with lush, dense thickets of melody—patiently building to a satisfying payoff of a crescendo while always keeping the listener on the edge of their figurative seat. Spanning electronic and acoustic soundwaves, For Forever delivers miles of endless bliss, resulting in Kenniff’s most satisfying statement to date. It’s impossible not to be moved by the music she’s put forth on For Forever, a record of heart-stopping beauty that only signals even greater peaks to come from this special artist. Following her 11 song album at the end of 2024, Hollie Kenniff returns in early 2025 with reworks of a medley songs off the album. The second offering is from Ghostly International affiliate artist Christopher Willits, who has worked with Taylor Deupree, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tycho, and others. Here, Willits lends his own blend of ambient and electronic, a sound both tranquil and uplifting.
