Once Was Ours Forever represents an evolution for Jonny Nash, embodying a confident, stripped-down sound while maintaining characteristics from his previous album. The album encapsulates a pastoral vibe, transporting listeners to serene landscapes. Nash's experience is illustrated through his assured guitar playing, signaling growth in his artistry. While reminiscent of his prior work, this album presents a sense of familiarity blended with new exploration, making it easy to appreciate over repeated listens. The production captures a feeling of paradise mixed with an element of excitement and depth.
Once Was Ours Forever isn't much different, except in all the usual ways Made of the Same Stuff albums are: a bit more insular, more stripped-down, more confident and, inevitably, shorter.
The vibe is pastoral, bucolic, folky, a world of limestone crags jutting from emerald pastures.
This time around, the record focuses on Nash's newly assured guitar playing.
There's a too-muchness to this music that keeps it exciting.
