Toronto-based rising star Raquel is kicking off a bold new era with her new single “LA LA LA,” featuring rapper NLE Choppa. Designed to capture the magic of an unforgettable night out, the track radiates high-vibrational energy.
Written during a spontaneous late-night session in summer 2024, “LA LA LA” uses a playful countdown structure—1 to 10—as both a lyrical motif and a timeline for a day-into-night celebration. The result is a feel-good anthem that blends pop, dance, and hip-hop into a single, genre-blurring experience.
When it came to choosing a collaborator, Raquel says in a press release that the decision was easy: “NLE Choppa just brings a level of charisma and fire that instantly elevated the record. It was exactly what the song needed.”
His signature energy contrasts perfectly with Raquel’s melodic hooks, especially on the chorus:
“At 4, 5, 6, I’m with my girls and we’re taking pics. / At 7, 8, 9, we’ll hit the club tonight. / So meet me at 10, ‘cause I wanna see you again.”
Following buzzworthy releases and a growing online following, Raquel is stepping confidently into a new phase of artistry. One that leans into pop-forward production and danceable rhythms, without losing the heartfelt storytelling that’s made her one to watch.
You can tell that the two had a fun time creating this song.
Whether it’s blasting in the car on the way to the club or playing in the background of a late summer night, “LA LA LA” is built for movement, joy, and connection. The song is a summertime anthem and encourages listeners to have fun.
