‘Kandy,’ by Brooklyn electronic chanteause Lavachild, is a song (as singer Chantel Marie puts it) about ‘greed and lost perspective,’ so it’s kind of appropriate for us to blog about it on the day Donal Trump has de facto won the Republican Presidential Nomination. (Ok, ok, this is not a political song at all, but… you know, today Trump is all we can think about!). This is Lavachild’s eeriest and edgiest tune to date, developing on top of abstract, moody and ever-changing layers of synths and a simple, tenuous electronic drum pattern. Chantel Marie’s voice – as sensual as always – carves delicate, haunting melodies. The track makes us look forward to the band’s debut EP, scheduled to be released later this year.
