Yours Forever is the fifth studio album by Australian singer Jessica Mauboy, released on 9 February 2024 by Warner Music Australia. It is her debut on Warner after leaving Sony Music Australia in 2020.[1]

Upon announcement of the album on 11 August 2023, Mauboy said "Yours Forever is me at my truest self, comfortable in my skin, not comparing myself or trying to be someone or something that anyone expects me to be. When you strip it all back, musically, it's beautiful melodies, storytelling lyrics, rhythms that connect with the soul, and it has a depth that I've never gone to or shared before."[2]

The album was supported with a three-month Australian and New Zealand tour commencing on 12 March 2024 in Victoria.[3] [4]

The album was nominated for Album of the Year at the National Indigenous Music Awards 2024.[5]

Singles

"Give You Love", a duet with Jason Derulo was released as the lead single from Yours Truly on 11 August 2023. The song peaked at number 74 on the ARIA Chart, while its video was nominated for ARIA Award for Best Video at the 2023 awards.[6] "Flashback" was released on 10 November 2023 as the album's second single. Mauboy said "'Flashback' is a song that holds a very special place in my heart - this song captures the exhilarating feeling of falling in love".[3] "Never Giving Up" was released as the third single on 22 December 2023. "Forget You" was released on 19 January 2024.

Reception

Mary Varvaris from The Music said "Yours Forever is Jessica Mauboy at her realest and most transformative. She's utterly genuine as she jumps between gospel-inspired soul, fierce funk, effortless mainstream, vibey pop, trap and acoustic balladry." Varvaris said "Shes not just the girl next door R&B singer you've come to know (or still expect), She's so much more."[7]

Women in Pop called it "a stunning album that shows Mauboy at her absolute best - a kaleidoscope of sounds and emotions that explore multiple genres whilst still remaining cohesive and true to Mauboy."[8]
