CMU Approved
Approved: Candy Says
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 7 April 2014
Having released a trickle of singles since the beginning of last year, lo-fi pop duo Candy Says release their title track of their debut album, ‘Not Kings’, today. The album is then due to follow on 5 May.
For all its lo-fi (recorded in a garage) charm, ‘Not Kings’ is actually a very well constructed pop song, with an infectious synth line and stabs of acoustic guitar beneath singer and guitarist Juju Sophie’s vocals. It shows a real honing of a sound that arrived pretty well formed with previous singles ‘Favourite Flavour’ and ‘Melt Into The Sun’.
Candy Says will be heading out on a short tour this week, supporting Chrysta Bell, with a headline show at Holywell Music Room in Oxford on Thursday (10 Apr).
