In 2019, Chicago’s Claude introduced her existential dream pop to the world with her Enactor EP. Now, Claudia Ferme is readying the release of her debut album, a lot’s gonna change, which was produced by Michael Mac (a collaborator of Tenci, Tasha, Devin Shaffer and Mia Joy).

“This album is a snapshot of my early-to-mid twenties — formative, sometimes confusing years,” detailed Claude. “I can pinpoint specific experiences and instances that correlate with each song. Yet, I was frustrated I still didn’t have things figured out like I thought I should and that things weren’t working out the way I’d hoped they would.”

The project is introduced by the single “twenty something,” a lush and dreamy offering about the experience of coming of age. “I’d rather be hurt by my own doing, than be let down by someone else, at least that’s what I tell myself,” she sings to reassure herself over warm arrangements.
