Victoria Canal - Elegy (2022) Hi Res

Victoria Canal releases her new EP, Elegy, which features lead singles "own me" and "pity season". The offering is a collection of heartfelt tracks that work through stages of grief and acceptance.

"Elegy is probably my most heartbroken work to date. I wrote it in the first few months of the pandemic when I found out someone close to me was quite ill. I was thrown neck-deep into the crushing awareness of time, having conversations with a person whose aliveness I no longer took for granted. In a weird form of therapy, I couldn't stop watching 'This Is Us'.

There was just so much emotional nuance that applied to my own life in every single episode. These songs and stories poured out of me, often right after watching an episode of the show, in some attempt to cope with anticipating loss and grief. I honestly never thought anyone would ever hear these songs; I wrote them because I had to, and the thought of some of these words being public still scares me a little bit because of just how honest they really are."
