Released on May 11th, 2025, Lina Fouro’s emotionally stirring single “Someday” is more than just a piece of music—it’s a heartfelt memorial, a coping mechanism, and an offering of comfort to anyone navigating the pain of loss. In this deeply personal work, Fouro reflects on the passing of her mother with both sorrow and resilience, creating a tribute that feels intimate yet universally relatable. Framed by her unmistakable voice and poignant songwriting, “Someday” stands tall as a timeless ballad of remembrance and hope.
Written in the wake of her mother’s passing, Fouro describes the song as a “lifeline” and a “declaration of hope.” And that sentiment echoes through every note. The lyrics are deeply personal, yet they avoid self-indulgence. Instead, they hold space for listeners—particularly those who have grieved someone they love—to find their own meaning. “Through the lyrics, I found faith that one day, somehow, somewhere, we will meet again,” she says, and that belief gently carries the song forward. It’s not a cry of despair, but rather a whispered promise: someday, love finds its way back.
The song was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Newcomb Studios in Colborne, Ontario, a peaceful studio overlooking Lake Ontario. That serene setting seems to breathe through the recording itself. There’s a calmness in the track’s production that acts as a counterbalance to its emotional weight. The vocals—warm, clear, and haunting—are the centerpiece, capturing the ache of absence and the strength it takes to keep going.
Producer and co-writer Kice Soroor played a pivotal role in shaping the emotional core of the song. His touch is subtle but significant. The arrangement is restrained but powerful, letting Fouro’s words and delivery do most of the storytelling. It never feels overproduced. Instead, it sounds like a conversation with grief—honest, slow, and full of pauses where breath becomes part of the rhythm.
The accompanying music video, directed by John Petrella of DaVinci Cinema, is another layer of artistry that elevates this release. Filmed in Niagara-on-the-Lake, its natural beauty serves as a metaphor for both mourning and moving forward. The visuals do justice to the song’s tone—quietly majestic, never overdone—and they amplify the sense of timelessness that “Someday” naturally carries.
Releasing the single on Mother’s Day was no accident. For Fouro, it was a sacred decision—a way to honour her mother’s memory and share that emotion with others. It’s a powerful act of vulnerability, and it gives the song added weight and meaning. But “Someday” isn’t just a tribute to one mother. It’s for all of them—for anyone who’s loved and lost, for those carrying grief in their chest like a stone that softens with time.
Fouro also makes it clear that this song was never about getting it perfect. “Every take brought us closer to the heart of the song,” she explains. The goal wasn’t perfection, but truth. And that’s exactly what listeners hear—truth in every breath, every lyric, every echo of her voice as it rises and falls with grace.
What makes “Someday” stand out is its authenticity. It’s not just a song, but a shared space—a sanctuary for sadness and the soft beginnings of healing. Fouro’s artistry lies in her ability to let her own pain serve a greater purpose. In giving her grief a melody, she gives others permission to feel, remember, and eventually, to hope.
As Lina herself says:
“We’ve all lost someone we love and in that way, this song belongs to everyone. It’s a reminder that grief is universal, but so is love, and it never truly leaves us.”
With “Someday,” Lina Fouro doesn’t just process loss—she transforms it. And in doing so, she offers something beautiful to those of us still learning how to carry ours.
