Forever by Lamorn
To outsiders, Lamorn must seem like the anointed artist—and, consequently, the envy of aspiring electronic-dance-music producers worldwide. In August of 2020, the Phoenix, Arizona-based producer/multi-instrumentalist (aka Seth Person) had the good fortune—and undeniable skills—to be signed by global EDM superstar deadmau5 after he sent in his track “Physical Layer” to the mau5trap Monday demo-critiquing Twitch session. This fortuitous event led to Lamorn opening for deadmau5—of whom he'd been a fan since grade school—on his 2021 & 2022 tours, remixing his and Kiesza's track “Bridged By A Lightwave,” and which now culminates in the hotly anticipated debut album Forever (mau5trap).
The album begins impressively with “Forever,” which rockets the listener to a paradisiacal realm through its twinkling, lapidary melody and a vocal of dreamy yearning. “I'm naming the album after this song because it feels like the all encompassing theme of the rest of the music. I'm an extremely sensitive person, which comes with its great strengths and terrible weaknesses. All the emotions in my life are so rich. I love so much. The connections I have with my family and friends are truly what I care about, and that's purely where this all comes from. The lyrics in this song tell me to give in to that, and let myself feel those things, because that what truly makes my life great. I never want it to end.”
Forever concludes with “Eleven,” the album's longest track at almost eight minutes and its most extreme tonally, featuring its roughest bass frequencies and most blissful bleeps. The melody carries the air of a bittersweet departure, as moving as Brian Eno's output circa Apollo. It's the grand finale of a debut album that solidifies Lamorn as one of America's most promising young EDM artists. The fact that Lamorn completed the album with deadmau5's assistance in the latter's Toronto studio lends Forever the air of a master musician passing the torch on to his disciple.
The strong sense of joy and longing that pervades Lamorn's uplifting, danceable songs should resonate with listeners worldwide. “I would hope that people can find comfort in my music. Whether that's feeling happy or sad with it. It would be an honor to be able to connect with someone on that level, in a similar way to how a lot of music has connected with me.”
