On his latest release, "Don't Forget," the Americana singer-songwriter Michael Anthony Milton drops a tender ballad that is as timeless as it is timely. Anchored by warm acoustic textures and plainspoken folk storytelling, the song feels like a back-and-forth between heart and memory, a testament to love with lasting strength.
Penned as a tribute to caretakers but really, to anyone who sustains Love through the seasons of life, "Don't Forget" is an intimate meditation cloaked in simplicity. Milton's voice has warmth and weight, and she sings her way through lyrics that are part gentle reminder, part heartfelt prayer "Always remember, don't forget / Love is a memory too."
Fans of James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and Alison Krauss will recognize familiar traces in Milton's melodic approach and disarmingly sincere style. But what makes this track special is its quiet bravery. It has the nerve to slow down, to grieve, and to pay respect to those who bear the weight of so many on their shoulders. The arrangement, centered on acoustic guitar and softly stacked textures, leaves room for the song's emotion to breathe, so that each of its words sounds as if they were written just for you.
"Don't Forget" is a film about the resilience that is built through faith and the power of memory against the passage of time. If you have ever loved, nurtured, or been swept up by someone else's Love, Milton has a timely new release for you. Michael Anthony Milton shows in "Don't Forget" that it's the sometimes simplest tunes that stick with us the longest, echoing in our thoughts through Love's most excellent resolve.
