Mix in The Beatles, add a little of The Beach Boys and you get Hello Forever. Hailing from Topanga, California, The 7-piece group recently released their debut album, Whatever It Is. We had the opportunity to talk to Hello Forever about new music, inspirations, and how they’re keeping busy in quarantine.
BTS: Introduce yourself to the readers.
Hello Forever: Hey. <3 xoxo
BTS: How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never listened to you before?
Hello Forever: We make contemporary classic pop music. It’s full of vocal harmonies and the songs are short.
BTS: What are/who are some inspirations for your music?
Hello Forever: The universe. Our friends. Too many idols from around the world throughout music history to list.
BTS: How did all of you come together to form Hello Forever?
Hello Forever: We met on Tinder, but we’re just friends.
BTS: You recently released your debut album, Whatever It Is. Who/what inspired this album?
Hello Forever: Whatever It Is was a joy to make. It was about making peace with ourselves, and getting out of our own way.

Hello Forever: We just try to listen to what the music wants to be, and let it come through us.

We are continuously making music in the hopes that we might create something to uplift anyone who hears it.
