Lilly Hiatt will release Forever on January 31, 2025, via New West Records. The 9-song set is Hiatt’s first album in four years, produced by her husband, Coley Hinson, and mixed by Paul Q.

The album is a bold, guitar-driven exploration of maturity and adulthood, grappling with themes of growth, change, escape, anxiety, self-loathing, and self-love.
