'Forever' is the first worship album created by Spain-based Jori Alguilar performing as lap child. The 10 tracks on this album seek to lead personal meditative worship. Generally slow to moderate tempo with lyrics of praise to God, the return of Jesus and our need to seek him out and thank him for his grace, this is gentle, computer-based music backing her solo voice. The lyrics are overly repetitive and very simple, the music lilting but unspectacular with lap child straying out of key from time to time. In a Christian music world full of praise and worship and soaking albums this mediocre effort will struggle to gain any recognition outside of those who know Jori personally.
