For almost two years, singer-songwriter Victoria Canal used her gift primarily as a way to process grief. The result of this transformative period was 2022s Elegy EP, a bittersweet collection of tracks. Now, after experiencing creative and emotional catharsis, Canal is turning the camera back on herself and zooming in further than ever before. Grown from heartache and made with unabashed honesty, her upcoming release finds the artist at her most vulnerableand her most courageous.Canal, who received the 2023 Rising Star award at the prestigious Ivor Novellos, embraces the discomfort of self-analysis. These days Im writing mostly to confront things about myself in order to gain more of an understanding and acceptance of them, she shares. She first started sowing the seeds of her new project during quarantine, in part while watching the TV show Parenthood. She recognized herself in a people-pleasing character, remarking, Ive definitely shrunk myself down before to please everyone else. I deserve to take up space.Canal challenges the habit of self-shrinking across all of her work, magnifying parts of herself that shes never openly shared before. The gentle gut-punch of opener Shape delves into the complex and intimate topic of body dysmorphia. Against folky guitar and airy backing vocals, her retrospective lyricism brings to the surface internalized moments, like the lasting impact of passing cruelty and the relationship between self-image and faith. These experiences are all too common for anyone who sits outside the status quo, and Canal reclaims her own power by bringing them to the surface on her own terms.She Walks In continues to explore body image, this time from a more current perspective. The idea of this song stems from a beautiful girl turning heads when she walks into a room. I have the experience of people staring at me, but its because of my limb difference, Canal shares, Theres an inherent yearning for people to look at me the way that they look at her. This vulnerability comes through in her poignant reflections set against waltzing watery instrumentals. Its candid delivery and gentle rocking almost makes you forget its devastation. But she ensures that it cant be ignored.Canal recently made her acting debut exploring the ideas of confidence, belonging, and self-awareness with regard to limb difference in Apple TV+s acclaimed anthology series Little America. She has also been featured in campaigns for Nike, LinkedIn, and Mastercard.This project marks an expansion for Canal, not just thematically, but also with regard to her growth as an artist. Working with the likes of Sean Carey and Madison Cunningham helped push her creatively in a way shes never experienced before. The artist attributes her new sound to her clear vision and the dedication she brings to her craft.The project concludes with a sense of introspection and growth. After an impactful journey, Canal emerges with a renewed sense of self and a deeper connection to her artistry.
