Victoria Canal

Singer-Songwriter Victoria Canal, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Feb 20, 2025

Spanish singer and songwriter Victoria Canal mixes pop styles, from bangers to weighty tunes with thoughtful, often probing, occasionally flirty lyrics, which revolve around her own complicated identity. She won two of Britain’s prestigious Ivor Novello Awards, famously sang with Coldplay at last year’s Glastonbury Festival, and had released a pair of EPs that marked her as a distinctive songwriter.Her latest LP, Slowly It Dawns, sparkles with wisdom hard-learned and offers up vulnerability - all with a sense of light-hearted play. Victoria Canal plays some of these songs, in-studio.
