    This album is slightly different from "No mythologies to follow". We can observe how she's been making progress over the years developing herself in order to find her own identity. I was a little bit mixed about her last few songs before the album released but when it came out i was shocked and delighted. I can't stop listening to it. It definitely live up to my expectations.

    Awesome album and worth the wait! These new different sounds from her album are just a world apart from her last EP and her debut and I really love how the songs are headed into a concept like magical and nostalgic which is so appealing to me since I've been a fan of her for when she started around the music business. Recommended!

    This album is a gem. Forget NMTF. This shows that Mø is a true artist, not afraid to do something different. I think this album deserves everything good. Love all of it, Red Wine, Mercy, Blur top tracks
    This woman is truly talented in every way. Mø Thank you.

    UNO DE LOS MEJORES ALBUMES DE MØ
    Sin embargo, estos números que le dieron no son justos con ella.

    El álbum es muy bueno. Una excelente producción y unas hermosas e increíbles letras. Sus ritmos son pegajosos sin necesidad de ser 'genéricos' y muy original, los vocales son muy relajantes y exquisitos. Un excelente álbum.

    Not even a single song is worth there. MØ has lots of talent and this album lacks it completely. Another great artist falling into generic, shallow music. All the good reviews probably comes from fans that can’t admt that this is a more boring version of Katy Perry’s Witness.

    created an account just to show my major disappointment with this album. after a great album and half a good ep, she releases something that sounds like chainsmokers/major lazer leftovers.

    MØ é (ou já foi) uma artista maravilhosa, mas tem se perdido bastante ao longo de sua carreira. Saiu de um álbum maravilhoso como NMTF até... chegar nisso aí. As músicas do Forever Neverland ou parecem incompletas ou tem informações demais; vocais extremamente alterados, drops e/ou breaks péssimos, enfim... O álbum é uma completa bagunça. Que deus ajude essa mulher.

    The new record from MØ is obviously inspired by a lot of fellow-pop ladies, such as Lykke Li, Sia, and Tove Lo. It is heavily and beautifully produced, even though some beat-breakdowns feel forced and out of place here and there. MØ's vocals are raw and unfiltered, sending a feel of authenticity throughout the whole project.

It is heavily and beautifully produced, even though some beat-breakdowns feel forced and out of place here and there. MØ's vocals are raw and unfiltered, sending a feel of authenticity throughout the whole project.

    As stated before, the productions are original and grand: for instance, the usage of a vocoder for the build-up in songs such as 'Blur' and 'Beautiful Wreck' give the songs a feel of vulnerability. 'If It's Over' is catchy, and feels like a sequel to the previous MØ-XCX collab 'Porsche' on Pop 2. 'Nostalgia' is a bold step forward, and the verses are basically just told, instead of being sung, which is reminiscent of songs such as 'Timebomb' by Tove Lo. Other songs are just so full of energy and make you wanna get up and dance ('I Want You' is a true banger).

    However, at a certain point, the album starts to feel repetitive and, somewhat, tiresome. 'Red Wine' being placed towards the end of the record, feels like some of the songs that precede it were put in a blender and mashed together. Maybe tracks like 'Imaginary Friend' and 'Trying to be Good' are quite interesting, but the listener is kinda bored at that point to even focus on them.

    All in all, "Forever Neverland" might not be the most timeless pop record of the year, but it definitely does its job and is a very enjoyable listen, even if it's mostly for its first half.    … Expand

    Deep album w lots of hidden meanings. 'Blur' is about how Princess Diana was actually a lesbian. Just 2 name a few

    MØ is an artist I want to like, and she does have some pretty good songs, but for some reason there's something about so much of her music that's rather unsatisfying, and this album is a perfect example. Most of it is at least decent, but it seems a bit too generic and lazily written to really be memorable. I also feel like there should be more variation in her vocals.

I think MØ has a unique and expressive voice, but every song sounds whiny and strained, regardless of what she's singing about, and it just gets kind of annoying after a while.

    De Denmark, Karen Marie Orsted es una cantante y colaboradora de música Pop y Electronic tipo EDM que es popular por su participación en álbumes de MajorLazer, Elliphant, Iggy Azela, entre otros. En su carrera, a pesar de sus constantes colaboraciones, solo ha presentado dos álbumes, el primero llamado "No Mythologies To Follow" en el 2014 y, ahora, presenta "Forever Neverland" en las que participan Diplo, What So Not, Two Feet, Charli XCX y Empress Of.
    El álbum no es una sorpresa, se siente, más que nada, como una propuesta personal que recibió permiso de publicarse. La música define mucho a la artista, sin embargo no la enaltece o promueve como una artista Pop diferente. Las letras son el mismo cliché femenino de desamor en el que la chica haría todo por conseguir al hombre de sus sueños, disfrutar el momento porque pensar es cansado y complicado y tomar en sus manos sus propias decisiones. Sin la intensidad de la voz, las letras valen poco, pero cuando se cantan, al menos, logra darles una connotación de liberación, fuerza de voluntad e inclusión. Y aunque su voz es muy bonita, la producción musical no la apoya. Ésta está encargada de 16 personas y, a pesar de eso, el álbum mantiene una misma monotonía. Los productores más destacados son STINT, Andy Steinway, Kurtis McKenzie, Mantra Beats y Dale Play, quienes realizaron las únicas 3 mejores canciones de un álbum de 14. La música desde el comienzo, parece prometer una exploración de una intención interesante entre espiritual y terrenal, sin embargo, los dos siguientes tercios parecen comprimir la intención de liberar a través de la música y le dan todo el espacio a útil a la cantante. Por lo tanto la música es sensible, pero es afectada por las letras de MØ, y cuando MØ canta, la música no es atractiva, creativa o entretenida. "Forever Neverland" es un equilibrado álbum entre las cosas que se deben de cambiar en el mundo lírico y la necesidad de darle un permiso más amplio a la música electrónica o, al menos, construir una personalidad más compleja y dinámica.    … Expand

    It's very interesting and it's actually great. It surprises with impeccable production and even better vocals from Karen.

    Forever isn't a huge creative leap forward, but at its best--particularly on dancefloor-friendly laments such as Beautiful Wreck--there are moments that hint at brilliance. [Nov 2018, p.109]

    Forever Neverland is an illustration of how modern pop should be--full of character, colourful and 14 tracks full of pop hit after hit.

    Forever Neverland contains enough catchy moments to warrant a listen, but mostly remains fodder for de rigueur 2010s alt-pop playlists.
