Joely Engelbert's newest single, "Until She Smiles," features a performance that is both quietly devastating and profoundly hopeful, and it stays with you long after the last note. The song is featured at the end of her father, Matt's, well-known movie, "What Tomorrow Brings." It gives us a close look at Clara, the character played by Joely, a young woman who is finding her voice again after going through difficult times.
Zoey Engelbert, Joely's sister, wrote the song. It describes an emotional landscape that is both fragile and resilient. The writing itself shows a mix of weakness and strength, and Joely's singing brings those feelings to life with an honesty that feels completely real. The truth-filled rawness of her delivery is what makes the track work. It sounds like someone emerging from the darkness after a long time. Every phrase is intentionally rough around the edges, which is the most beautiful thing about it.
The song's honesty doesn't need to be loud; it's enough to be genuine. Instead, it has a quiet clarity that pulses through it, a calm but steady push toward healing. This makes "Until She Smiles" a powerful sonic reflection of Clara's journey and the emotional heart of the movie. It shows that the family worked together on it with instinct, intention, and amazing artistic chemistry. The song is a testament to authenticity, heart, and the lasting power of creative connection.
