Hailing from the North of France, Parisian singer-songwriter Line Beauclair is officially making her debut. Crafting art that blurs the lines between music and poetry, Beauclair lets us into her heart, her soul, and her mind straight away — releasing the first song she ever recorded in a studio. Titled “Soft”, the track details the delicate yet powerful moment where you truly let your guard down and allow your true self to exist in a relationship. Written in only half an hour, it combines the budding star’s innate knack for storytelling with an ambient production that helps bring her words to life.

How are you feeling about the debut release?
I’m honestly thrilled! This is my very first release and the first song I ever recorded in a studio. The positive reaction and words of love truly mean the world to me.
How does the single introduce us to your artistry?
This song’s backbone is the lyrics, which I feel is essential to my musical style and something I take great pride in. Although, I always want my music to have a certain ambiance to it, almost like it could be on a movie soundtrack which I think is also reflected in this song.
What was the songwriting process like for “Soft”?
I wrote it alone in my room! It was honestly very seamless and took me less than 30 minutes, as it covers a topic that I had been pondering over for a while. Going into the studio with my producer was really the highlight to me as seeing one of my songs come to life for the first time was truly mesmerising!
Can you tell us a bit about what it covers thematically?
This song is about the moment in a relationship where you finally tap into your vulnerability. There is no smoke and mirrors, you no longer craft this version of yourself that you think the other person finds most desirable — you’re just yourself. I define that as being soft — because it’s such a delicate, beautiful and difficult thing to do but still harnesses so much power.
How do you combine your French and American influences into your music?
The DNA of French music is in its writing. It’s truly such a rich language with so much nuance that it just creates a playground for expression. I think that that’s what I want to export the most and I hope it reflects in my music. I grew up listening to “La Chanson Française” from my mom and grandma and some songs even transcend generations which is what I hope to accomplish.
American Pop music truly is what dreams are made of — nothing will ever beat listening to it on full blast when you just need to let go. It’s an outlet and just so much fun that it’s addictive, it transports you while making you feel understood — that’s something I hope I can incorporate as well.
