Olivia C. Dacal Unveils “My Tragic Love Story”

Australian musician and songwriter Olivia C. Dacal makes her Atlantic Records debut with today’s premiere of her eagerly awaited new single, “My Tragic Love Story,” available everywhere now here. The track, which follows Dacal’s acclaimed 2026 EP, Lady Love, is accompanied by an official music video shot in her current hometown of Los Angeles – streaming now here.

“With dreamy, syrupy-smooth voice that belies a range that stretches like a skyscraper…(Olivia C. Dacal) is a cinematic chronicler of the heart.” – Vogue Australia

“Raised on constant singing, early songwriting and a deep love for 70s music, her sound today draws from the lyrical storytelling of Stevie Nicks, the sonic world-building of Frank Ocean, jazz training and cinematic film scores…A fiercely self-driven artist creating rich, emotional music entirely on her own terms.” – Triple J Unearthed

Named by Vogue Australia as a 2026 “Vogue Vanguard” creative, Dacal – who recently introduced “My Tragic Love Story” to fans with a performance during Brooklyn, NY’s Sounds That Move weekend – will celebrate her fast-rising success with a just-announced festival appearance alongside Lorde, PinkPantheress, Zara Larsson, Djo, Oklou, and others at this summer’s sold-out All Points East, set for London’s Victoria Park on Saturday, August 22.

Raised in Australia and now based in Los Angeles after studying in Spain and Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music, Olivia C. Dacal creates music that blends a nostalgic soundscape of indie and dream pop into emotionally rich, genre-fluid songs. Switching seamlessly between English and Spanish, her work is defined by soulful vocals and intimate storytelling that explore love, longing, and self-discovery. Dacal has been building momentum globally, from being named Triple J Unearthed’s “Artist of the Week” and featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Top Shelf 2026, to a sold-out Ones to Watch showcase in London, two sold-out shows supporting Sienna Spiro at West Hollywood's legendary Troubadour, and a recent date opening for KELS’s “Dirty Blues Princess Tour” at Los Angeles’ The Peppermint Club. “My Tragic Love Story” and her recent signing to the Atlantic Records roster now begin what promises to be an extraordinary new chapter for Dacal, a one-of-a-kind artist of unprecedented imagination and versatility.
