Raquel – La La La ft. NLE Choppa

Raquel is making a significant shift with her latest release, and she’s brought considerable enthusiasm along with it. A native of Toronto is rapidly becoming one of the most compelling new voices to have emerged from Canada.

Within a span of under two years, a singer-songwriter and classically trained pianist has released joint projects with notable local artists, including TVGUCCI, Smiley, Jaegen, SadBoi, and Luna Elle. Her sonic style is a unique fusion of R&B, pop, and electronic elements, distinguishing her from others.

With “La La La,” she’s making her boldest declaration to date, a feel-good, high-energy track that includes none other than NLE Choppa.

The track is centered around a nostalgic sample of ATC’s early 2000s hit “Around The World,” and it serves as a lighthearted countdown to a memorable evening. Connecting with NLE Choppa was a strategic partnership. His charming stage presence brings a rugged quality to the album, rendering it impossible not to dance to.

The duo trade vocals back and forth over a lively, dance-club-style track that combines pop, hip-hop, and dance floor sounds in perfect harmony. The outcome is a dynamic, dancefloor-friendly song that effortlessly merges pop and hip-hop dynamics with the perfect amount of nostalgia.

“La La La” signals a pivotal change in Raquel’s sonic approach. It’s more focused on pop, more conducive to dancing, yet it remains grounded in her authentic songwriting style. If this marks the beginning of a fresh era, she’s started it on a robust note.
