If infectious partial sobriety is a state of mind, Victoria Canal provides the musical conduit to its borderlands in “California Sober,” a Guajira-dyed composition that booms. Sensual in its lyrical content and dripping with the panache of Canal’s vocals, the track is summer-hot and aligned with an exciting new phase for this burgeoning artist.
With an international tour on the horizon, this Spanish-American talent is riding a much-deserved wave of success that derives propulsion from this new single by showcasing a refined and professional composition. No thrumming bass is by mistake here, and each tempo change raises the stakes for a climax that is intentional and euphoric.
Meticulous in deployment is what has characterized the career of Canal, who ascends to rightful prominence across media—appearing on Apple TV shows like Little America and having her 2023 EP WELL WELL released by Coldplay’s label Parlophone—while sharing the stage with rising contemporaries like Sammy Rae & The Friends.
For an artist so driven, the sky's the limit, and 2024 still feels young as “California Sober” and her previous 2024 single “June Baby” pack a one-two punch knockout that has us seeing stars and awaiting the next flourish. The 'Just What I Needed' tour begins August 17 at the Lowlands Festival in Biddinghuizen, Netherlands.
It should be accentuated, last but not least, that there is a fearless freedom of expression in “California Sober” that displays the confidence and drive aforementioned, acting as the catalyst that takes listeners to a place where, governed by a blustering beat, they can too close their eyes, dance, and fantasize.
