French singer-songwriter Clara Quilichini returns with her new single “Dear Future Girl”, following her debut EP Cardiogram in 2022. The track is a personal pop-folk ballad, written as a letter and reflection on empathy, closure, and learning the process of letting go.
“Dear Future Girl is about those moments of emotional growth, when you have to find the strength to move on,” Clara says. “Writing it was cathartic, and I hope it resonates with anyone who’s been through something similar.”
The song carries a balance of sadness and hope, making it feel both personal and universal. Clara’s lyrics are vulnerable yet empowering, speaking to the challenges of letting go and finding peace. The song has a gentle, introspective quality, accompanied by acoustic instrumentation that accentuates the lyrics emotions.
At 2:25, there’s a striking instrumental break where soulful strings and piano intertwine. The piano plays flowing arpeggiated notes, while the strings add a different emotional layer to the piece. Clara’s vocals during this section adds intensity, creating a moment that really stands out in the song.
“Dear Future Girl” marks the first single from Clara’s upcoming debut album, set to be released in 2025. It shows Clara’s ability to take personal experiences and turn them into something that others can connect with. Drawing inspiration from artists like Gracie Abrams, Taylor Swift, and Olivia Rodrigo, Clara is getting ready for her next chapter by independently growing her audience.
With “Dear Future Girl”, Clara aimed to write a song that wasn’t just another typical breakup song. While it carries a sense of sadness, it also offers hope, reflecting the emotions she was experiencing at the time.
Originally an actress, Clara uses music as a way to explore her emotions and connect with listeners on a deeper level. “Dear Future Girl” is a representation of her ability to transform contemplation into something universal.
