Michael Bernard Fitzgerald Explores Love on Upbeat Pop Folk Track

Catch "Forever and Always," Taken from Upcoming Horizon Lines Album

In 2024, following the success of his most acclaimed record to date, Love Valley, singer-songwriter Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is set to release his sixth full-length album, Horizon Lines. Created throughout the transformative journey of entering fatherhood, the new music continues to weave together soulful sounds and introspective words, reaffirming a dedication to crafting songs that speak to the heart.

Fitzgerald is now sharing the album’s second single, the bright and driving “Forever and Always,” co-produced and recorded with Josh Gwilliam Its pristine acoustic guitar and anticipatory percussion provide the backdrop for what Fitzgerald refers to as a song akin to “the dance we do when finding a partner and building a love.”
There are hopes and dreams we have for ourselves in love and then there is also the capacity we have to give and receive that care. So much growth is needed to truly partner, to truly get past parts of ourselves to really become a team. ‘I want love this time’ talks about building something with substance for the first time, getting past my own pitfalls.‘Teach me how to confidently say, forever and always’ - be that constant for one another, as we learn to get past some of the same blockages and hurdles. – Michael Bernard Fitzgerald
