History

2013: Beginnings and Infatuated

In 2013, they were discovered by the management company responsible for the launch of Auryn, and brought to Madrid. The vocalists Rocío Cabrera Torregrosa, Sonia Gómez González and Alba Reig Gilabert began this project, covering viral songs such as "Troublemaker" or "Price Tag" to upload them to YouTube as a presentation. Their great opportunity to present themselves to the public was their performances as opening act on Auryn's "Anti-Heroes" tour.

On July 30, 2013, after having signed a contract with the record company Warner Music Spain that same month, they released their first song: "Infatuated".

2014: Break of Day

In April 2014, Sweet California released their first album Break of Day. Recorded between New York, Los Angeles and Spain, it was produced by Tony Sánchez-Ohlsson.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Sweet California” as spanish girl band. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2013, 2016, 2014—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2013-01-23. The account is most persuasive where Sweet, California and Spanish can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as spanish girl band. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16637087. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2013, 2016 and 2014.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
