FOREVER is the sixteenth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on 7th June 2024, through Island Records. Going into a new Bon Jovi album with an open mind in 2024 requires the understanding that this isn't the same band from forty years ago. Gone are the bare-chested, libidinous glam-metal anthems of the MTV era. And there's nothing wrong with that. Every audience needs a hero, and Bon Jovi has always been the people's champion, keenly aware of who they serve. Their adaptability allowed them to weather the grunge storm, stay atop the charts and pack arenas well into the 2000s as many of their former peers were relegated to summer package tours. On their sixteenth album, FOREVER, Bon Jovi takes stock of their four-decade legacy, reminiscing and coming to grips with the present across twelve often catchy, predictably cheesy and unfailingly earnest songs. Jon Bon Jovi celebrates the simple pleasures of good friends and a woman who loves and supports him. He reflects on ruling the Jersey Shore cover-band scene with his buddies in the pre-platinum days. The guitars are sterile, the lyrics are treacly and you can telegraph exactly where the band's going to drop out for Bon Jovi to utter the hook — yet despite your best efforts, these songs will lodge themselves in your brain, because that's what this band does best.

Bon Jovi opens FOREVER with a triptych of songs whose titles seem like testaments to the band's legacy. Perhaps Jon Bon Jovi isn't explicitly singing about his long-running band, but it's hard to ignore the fact that FOREVER arrives forty years after the group's debut, accompanied by the four-part documentary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. Far from hiding from their part, Bon Jovi are embracing their status as survivors, a designation that comes with its share of loss, including the 2013 departure of founding guitarist Richie Sambora - an event that doesn't play into FOREVER as much as Jon Bon Jovi's 2022 vocal cord surgery. Some latter-day records showed evidence of vocal wear from Jon. As the first record Bon Jovi has made since their singer's surgery, it also functions as an unveiling of a revived band. Whether it's through the miracle of medicine or the recording studio, Jon does sound more robust than he did on, say, 2020. It's also true that Bon Jovi isn't making music that would push their singer to his limits. FOREVER is filled with ballads and midtempo anthems that would sound bigger on an adult contemporary station than an arena. Sense of refinement suits a group who knows they're a bit older and a bit slower than they were forty years ago but they're grateful to still be happy doing what they're doing all these decades later.
