“California” is the fifth song on Rufus Wainwright’s sophomore album, Poses. Produced by Ethan Johns, the song is, appropriately, a sonic homage to sunshine pop. Wainwright wrote “California” about his time staying at the notorious Oakwood Apartments in Burbank, California while he was recording his debut album.
