3 time Classical BRIT nominees and You Tube sensations with over 200 million views release their brand new studio album titled "Forever", containing 13 newly recorded songs and coinciding with a World Tour in 2023. 6 page gate-fold digipack CD plus 12 page colored booklet and full color on-body. 'Forever' is the first album recording without Libera's founder, Robert Prizeman, at the helm. The Libera sound was conceived by Robert and was first truly realized in recorded form in 1999. Since then, the sound and repertoire have evolved as the group has gained popularity with audiences across the globe. In the early days the music was mainly based on Robert's compositions, taking influence from ancient plainchant and the great choral repertoire, as well as contemporary production and instrumentation. The boys' voices, however, have always been front and center. We now get to hear and enjoy the new Musical Director Sam Coates's contribution to the group's choral legacy.
