Acclaimed singer-songwriter and one-third of the Grammy-winning supergroup boygenius, Lucy Dacus, returns with her fourth studio album, Forever Is A Feeling.
Lucy Dacus is here, and she’s chasing the impossible. Fresh off a career-defining run with boygenius, where she picked up no less than three Grammy Awards, Dacus returns to her solo work with Forever Is A Feeling, a deeply introspective new album that dives headfirst into love’s peaks and pitfalls.
Regarded by many as one of the better songwriters of her generation, Dacus turns her attention to the fleeting nature of love, desire, and devotion across 13 songs that range from lush, orchestral swells to stripped-down, heart-wrenching confessions. Where her past records have balanced personal storytelling with poetic ambiguity, Forever Is A Feeling is a full-blown excavation of the heart and everything that makes it beat.
The album unfolds like a love letter written in real-time, documenting the intoxicating highs of romance and the quiet devastation of it ending. It’s about love, but it’s also about what it means to believe in something eternal, knowing deep down that nothing ever is. The title track sets the tone, capturing the euphoria of a love that feels infinite, while songs like “Ankles” and “Limerence” add to the weight of the album.
Following the critically acclaimed Home Video (2021), which chronicled coming-of-age moments with unflinching honesty, Forever Is A Feeling finds Dacus embracing grander musical lands. Dacus has always had a gift for making the personal feel universal, and here, she refines that ability to stunning effect. Whether she’s dissecting desire’s contradictions or the ache of a love slipping away, her voice carries a weight that feels at once deeply lived-in but always relatable.
