(September 15, 2023) Today, La Doña releases her latest EP Can't Eat Clout via Text Me Records. Can’t Eat Clout portrays a young femme artist falling in love with herself, her lover, and her art. It maps the rise and descent of these three love stories in an electrifying journey that weaves in and out of genres, incorporating La Doña’s expertise in cumbia, salsa, oldies and reggaeton. The album promotes the amalgam of musical traditions with the contemporary movements of hyphy and reggaeton, showcasing stylistic proclivities birthed from the soil of the Bay Area.
Can’t Eat Clout is filled with the contributions of her childhood collaborators and friends Naomi Garcia, Tano Brock, Savannah Harris and Ruben Sandoval, her father, Miguel Govea, producers Adeyemi and Dreww Banga, and home girl and Bay Area Rapper Tia Nomore. The album comes accompanied by live sessions produced, directed and led by La Doña, as well as a libretto portraying the intimate story of the EP alongside musical transcriptions by Miguel Govea, illustrated by Suavecita Press’ Alyssa Aviles. Can’t Eat Clout asserts La Doña’s mastery as a composer and director and presents themes of creative-liberty, anticapitalism, and community resilience.
La Doña has steadily become an unequivocal artist to watch. She was chosen as one of YouTube’s Foundry Artists, was awarded the 2020 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival Mini-Commission, and performed at Tecate’s “El Patio” and Redbull’s “EEUU de Bass.” She also released her previous EP, Algo Nuevo, which was selected by the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the 6 best albums of 2020, and one of the standout tracks from the project, “Quién Me La Paga” was the first of The New York Times Magazine’s “19 Songs that Matter Now." La Doña's 2022 single "Penas Con Pan" was also recently featured in former-President Barack Obama's new 2023 playlist.
