This raw and empowering project showcases the newcomer’s knack for crafting emotionally bruising pop anthems laced with hard truths. To celebrate the release, Barrett shares a self-directed and edited visual for album highlight “dear god.”
With young forever, the 20-year-old turns the mirror upon herself, dissecting the music scene, L.A. and the fame game as well as her own struggles as she comes of age. On album opener “tired of california,” which dropped last week, for example, Nessa playfully mocks the City of Angels, where everything is a little too perfect.
She then broadens her scope on “dear god” and “lovebomb,” examining her intimate relationships. Other stand-out tracks on the album include “gaslight,” “too hot to cry” and “fuckmarrykill.” Nessa partnered on young forever with frequent collaborator Evan Blair, who also executive produced Barrett’s 2020 debut EP pretty poison.
About young forever, Nessa explains, "Each and every song on this album is so personal to me. Music is how I cope and writing this album was my therapy. I’ve questioned why I had to go through so much pain in life and always felt like it was a curse. But now I’ve realized it was so I could make songs like these to help others go through theirs."
