Lilly Hiatt performs with the candid writing and guitar-driven energy that define her new album, Forever, created at home with her husband, Coley Hinson, who produced and played much of the instrumentation. The record confronts change and growth, the impulse to run and the weight of anxiety, and the tough journey from self-criticism to self-acceptance. The songs read like journal entries while still inviting listeners to find their own reflections. The sound fuses alt rock muscle with the intimacy of a singer songwriter, offering a raw portrait of adulthood and a reminder that feeling lost does not mean being alone. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Tennessee, Hiatt first drew attention with two early solo albums before breaking through with 2017’s Trinity Lane. That release led to dates with John Prine, Margo Price, Drive-By Truckers, and Hiss Golden Messenger, along with festival appearances from Pilgrimage to Luck Reunion. It earned praise from NPR for its bravery and emotional force, and Rolling Stone highlighted it as a unified and confident high point. She followed with Walking Proof in 2020 and Lately in 2021, drawing further acclaim, with The Boston Herald noting her gift for direct yet lyrical writing and Uncut calling the work compelling.
