""I started to brainwash and manipulate myself into being like, 'Okay, I do relate to this song,' I had no relation to any of the songs that I was singing in the past.""
"CANDY is Skye's spotlight: a prismatic blast of color pointed directly at her. You can feel Skye's relief at ditching her old persona."
"A song like 'Bitch in Ibiza' could have sounded trite, but Skye sidesteps club-tourist cliché thanks to bouncy bass and an irresistibly laid-back flow."
Justine Skye's album CANDY represents a significant shift in her career, moving away from previous industry pressures to conform to pop standards. The album opens with the track "Just a Girl," which encapsulates her desire for recognition. Skye's past experiences with major labels often left her feeling disconnected from her music. CANDY embraces a colorful, dance-forward aesthetic, allowing her to express joy and authenticity. Tracks like "Bitch in Ibiza" highlight her ability to blend rap and house music, showcasing her unique style and perspective.
