Baril shares his creative vision behind the album, stating, “I wanted to create an album that truly reflects who I am. I carefully considered what I value when it comes to electronic music. It had to exude energy yet carry a touch of melancholy, providing a soundtrack for both introspective moments on the couch and wild nights on the dancefloor. I aimed for something that feels sweet yet edgy, capable of evoking both laughter and tears.”
“For You, Forever” will be unveiled gradually over the course of four months, with four emotionally charged singles serving as tantalizing teasers of the album’s magic. The journey begins on March 1st with the release of “I Need You,” followed by “Are You With Me” on March 22nd.

This album is the culmination of Baril’s lifelong ambition, and he couldn’t be prouder. During a visit to Amsterdam last year, esteemed artist Fred Again had the privilege of hearing the album in its entirety at Baril’s studio. Enthralled by what he experienced, Fred Again showed his support by sharing Baril’s music on Instagram, instantly doubling the young artist’s following.
