Today Glide is offering an exclusive premiere of Prince’s new single “Dear Future Me,” a song that immediately brings to mind the softer ballads of Dolly Parton. Through her poignant lyrics and truly standout vocals, Prince gives an old soul sound that feels wise beyond her years. What sets this apart is that she isn’t overtly trying to tap into the bland Americana sound that is all the rage in Nashville these days, but rather going for something that feels simultaneously classic and fresh. The lovely touch of piano and twangy pedal steel give the song a sense of timelessness, and there is an excitement to the song as a whole that makes you eager to hear how Prince will progress as she continues to find her footing.
“‘Dear Future Me’ is a letter. It’s a letter to my adult self, written from a place of sadness, wondering if there is any possible chance that in the future I will lose the insecurities I grew up with. I wonder if I’ll ever be confident, and not filled with doubt, and worry. Who knows what my future self will do, and what I’ll think of her.” — Stella Prince
