Hollie Kenniff
The Canadian-American ambient pop artist, Hollie Kenniff’s fourth 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. Kenniff’s latest LP, which also doubles as her debut release on Nettwerk Label Group, follows last year’s fantastic and evocatively titled We All Have Places That We Miss—and it’s another impressive jewel in a career that’s been steadily moving for more than 15 years, since her days in the electronic pop outfit Mint Julep with her husband Keith Kenniff, who also records as Helios and Goldmund.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.
