Every city has its moment, and right now, Toronto belongs to Raquel. The rising genre-bending artist just dropped her latest single, “LA LA LA” featuring NLE Choppa, and it’s a champagne-soaked anthem tailor-made for nights that blur into mornings.
From the moment the beat drops, Raquel flexes her signature blend of pop gloss and emotional pull. “It goes like 1, 2, 3 / You should be here with me,” she coos, setting the tone for a flirty countdown that maps the emotional tempo of a night out. Produced by Anté O’Connor and GANGLAND, and engineered with surgical precision by Derek “Mega Man” Kavanagh, the track sounds like a summer rooftop party dipped in gold.
Enter NLE Choppa — the Memphis-born rap star injects raw sensuality into the mix, flipping the energy with lines that drip with confidence. It’s playful, it’s steamy, and it works.
The visual, shot by Abstract Digital and directed by Ioanna Al-Kayed, is pure escapism: Lambos, glitter, choreo, and club lights painting Toronto in high-def glamour. Cinematographer Andrew Lovett and AD Lala Filippone help bring Raquel’s fashion-forward dream world to life — it’s aesthetic overload in the best way.
Raquel isn’t just making music; she’s crafting moments. “LA LA LA” is proof: she’s not chasing the wave — she’s riding her own.
