S**t, a heartbroken Coi Leray might be her best bag.
As crazy as it sounds, What Happened To Forever? might just be the best Coi Leray album to date. Built on themes of heartbreak and supported by instrumentals that seamlessly blend R&B and hip-hop, Coi delivers picture-perfect melodies and choruses, pouring her heart out in a way that feels genuine and raw.
One of the album’s biggest strengths is Coi’s ability to effortlessly switch between rapping and singing, channeling emotions of betrayal, confidence, and vulnerability all in one project. At times, she sounds completely over him, at others, she’s sexy and empowered, and in moments, she comes across as someone still picking up the pieces of a broken heart.
Though the project is short, it packs a punch—especially if you’ve ever experienced heartbreak or betrayal. What Happened To Forever? is proof that Coi Leray continues to evolve, and this time, she might have just delivered her most satisfying project yet.
