Victoria Canal todayshares her beautiful new single ‘pity season’. Lifted from forthcoming newEP Elegy, out Friday 16th September via Parlophone Records, ‘pityseason’ follows ‘own me’ as the second single from her new project andwas premiered by Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1.
Elegy is a collection of deeply heartfelt tracksthat work through stages of grief, hurt and acceptance in Canal’s gorgeouslyeffortless songwriting style. Following the EP’s narrative, pity season takesthe listener inside a conversation between a sick person and their son overdinner, where he breaks the news about his illness to the family.
“They’re all at thedinner table and the song is told from the kid’s perspective,” Victoria explains. “It’s theirperspective of ‘what the hell is going on?’ as they try to make sense of aterrible situation.”
Part of the song alsosees the son exploring how he measures up next to his father. “It’sthat fear of a loss of identity when the son wonders ‘How can I be like you,measure up to you, if you’re not around for me to observe and follow yourlead?’” Victoria says,“The song eventually sees the parent assumingthe strong role: they are there for their child once more.”
Victoria Canal ‘pity season’
Victoria Canal’s newEP Elegy is due for release in September via ParlophoneRecords. Of the new project, she explains: “Elegy is probably my mostheartbroken work to date. I wrote it in the first few months of the pandemicwhen I found out someone close to me was quite ill. I was thrown neck-deep intothe crushing awareness of time, having conversations with a person whosealiveness I no longer took for granted. In a weird form of therapy, I couldn’tstop watching ‘This Is Us’.
There was just so much emotional nuance thatapplied to my own life in every single episode. These songs and stories pouredout of me, often right after watching an episode of the show, in some attemptto cope with anticipating loss and grief. I honestly never thought anyone wouldever hear these songs; I wrote them because I had to, and the thought of someof these words being public still scares me a little bit because of just howhonest they really are.”
23 year old singer,songwriter, producer and activist Victoria Canal makes soul-stirring, emotivepop music. Born in Munich, Spanish-American Canal says her internationalupbringing fostered her love for a nomadic life in music. A proud “thirdculture kid,” she lived everywhere from Shanghai, Tokyo, Amsterdam, London, andDubai to Atlanta, New York, and Forth Worth, and is proud of her identity as aqueer, disabled, mixed-heritage woman, which fuels much of her activism.
