Julia Logan meets life’s sweet, unwavering pulse in her new single, “Forever Changes Around” released on the same day as her sophomore album, “Faraway Nearby“. In this new track, Logan weaves a subtle yet undeniable calm, mixing folk-rock warmth with a rock undertone that feels both natural and unforced. Each element, from her voice to the gentle instrumental melodies, makes this song feel like an invitation to slow down, to breathe, and to listen.

Logan’s voice flows as if it were simply telling a story, each line folding effortlessly into the next. The track pulls us in through delicate yet consistent instrumental layers, blending folk with a gentler rock element that mirrors the cadence of a soft conversation. The overall effect feels reminiscent of Feist in the way Logan uses melody and lyrics to hold the listener, balancing emotion and clarity throughout.
Logan’s choice to feature the piano prominently in the latter part of the song is a brilliant move. When the listener feels comfortable, this subtle change brings “Forever Changes Around” to a new level of expression. It’s an arrangement choice that feels intentional yet refreshingly light—each note resounding with Logan’s message without any excess.
