It’s hard not to feel emotional when listening to Victoria July’s cathartic, elegant vocals. That’s particularly true in the case of ‘Plan B’, the Swiss songstress’s latest effort. Wrapped in minimalist acoustic flair, the record delivers a poignant listening experience, a slice of vulnerability and honesty in the face of a romantic and personal storm. From a sonic standpoint, we are in Country-Pop territories, with an introspective guitar gracefully supporting Victoria’s dynamic, melodious tone.
We suspect that ‘Plan B’ will relate to a large amount of listeners out there; its storytelling focuses on the end of a committed relationship, one where you’ve given – and offered – everything. As July explains: “I never had a Plan B. When you’re all in, you picture forever with someone. And when it ends, it’s not just the breakup, it’s the life you imagined together that’s suddenly gone. This song is about standing in that silence and trying to rebuild yourself.”
