Spanish-American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Victoria Canal released her new single “June Baby” today via Parlophone Records. The fun and flirty summer tune is co-written by the 1975’s bassist Ross MacDonald and co-produced by drummer George Daniel. Canal met the 1975 backstage during her Jools Holland debut performance last year and quickly developed what Daniel calls a “really rare” connection. 

“Victoria is a legitimate star,” says MacDonald. “To be in the studio with her and watch musical ideas and lyrics pour out of her so naturally was a joy and a pleasure.”

“As soon as Ross played me this song I was blown away and had to get on it, it felt like a breath of fresh air (a very talented breath),” says Daniel of the “June Baby” collaboration. 

“June Baby” is about the thrill of an adolescent summer romance and marks the “first chapter of a new era,” says Canal, “which will go places I’ve never gone before musically, so I’m just ready to get it out there and have some fun.” The “June Baby” music video, directed by Henry Croston and filmed throughout Barcelona, Spain, is out now.

Also today, Canal announced a worldwide headline tour, spanning the UK, Europe and North America. The “Just What I Needed” tour kicks off September 16 in Milwaukee, WI, for a three week run, before heading overseas for performances in Barcelona, Lisbon, Amsterdam, Brussels, Berlin, Paris, London and more. Artist presale tickets are on sale now, with general on-sale beginning Monday, June 17. Please see a full list of tour dates below and visit https://www.victoriacanal.com/tour for tickets. 

Last month, Canal picked up her second Ivor Novello Award, judged by acclaimed songwriters and composers from The Ivors Academy and awarded for craft and creative excellence. After winning the 2023 “Rising Star” award, she followed in the footsteps of The Beatles, Elton John, Amy Winehouse, and more, winning the award for “Best Song Musically and Lyrically” for her song “Black Swan.”

“June Baby” follows the release of intimate single “Chamomile” and 2023’s WELL WELL EP, a support tour with Hozier across the UK and Europe, being named a BBC Radio 1 Future Artist, earning the Attitude Pride Icon Award, and receiving acclaim from The New Yorker, The Observer, The Times, NME, People Magazine, and more.
