Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2019 | #37: Shura's 'forevher'

November 26, 2019 Albumism Staff

#37 | Shura | forevher
Secretly Canadian

According to Matthew Hocter: “Full of optimism and romance, Shura has co-written every song on the album and exposed herself in a way the wider community all too often takes for granted; speaking openly and without restraint about love. Her songwriting is raw and honest, her voice breathy yet powerful, and her message although sometimes ambiguous, always remains meaningful to those that truly listen….forevher may be an album about love, but it is also an album that has inadvertently broken barriers and given yet another voice to a community that all too often has very little voice where love is concerned. And yet, Shura’s inclusive songs somehow manage to resonate with everyone, a feat very few songwriters have been able to achieve.”
