LEX AMOR, FORWARD EVER

Lex Amor is a DJ, producer, sound designer, engineer, rapper, youth mentor, and community activist from Northern London. Over the past number of years, Amor has turned to poetry as a way to 'find meaning in the world that unfolded around her,' and began performing at open mic nights. Over time, Amor's poems morphed into rap verses which she place over subtle and hypnotic beats.

"FORWARD EVER is a statement of intent – a reminder to persevere and navigate through the haze of modern life – an offering of a perspective. It’s about finding beauty where you stand and having faith in the timing of your journey – seeing the thorn as you see the rose. The album is born out of a lifetime of introspection, capturing the movement of a mind on this earth – a time stamp, a reminder that I was here – London, 2024: thinking and hoping, navigating – alongside everybody else." -Lex Amore-

On her sophomore album, Forward Ever, Amor plays with hip-hop, jazz, electrionica, and afrobeats to create a hazy and dreamlike soundscape which serve as a backdrop over which she floats her poetry. As a whole, the album lives in an almost meditative state. It's one that I have found myself wanting to step into more than once.
