River of Stars makes use of elements from folk, pop, alt rock and creates an enticing mix of modern music that harkens to times past. Think of it like a classic reborn in new clothes. The album is an impressive body of 12 tracks that have been masterfully produced in the way you would expect the top music labels to make their albums. Hill also showcases his incredible vocal range to prove yet again that his rise over the years have not been a fluke. ‘Crazy Days’ has a dark feeling compared to most of the other songs on the album, but you can feel the percussion beneath that creates a complex haunting sound that you fall in love with slowly. ‘Floats Away’ makes use of a beautiful guitar accompanied by a cello to suck you into the story he’s trying to tell, yet another impressive display of instrumentation and melody.

Forrest Hill’s River of Stars, just like the name, shines through with flowingly amazing music that is the culmination of many years of hitchhiking across post-Vietnam America and personal experiences from his meditation practice. This is definitely one for the summer playlists.
