Candy Bleakz Shapes Up for Growth and Evolution In Light of “Better Days”
Meshing influences from indigenous hip hop with elements of afropop and amapiano, Chocolate City’s Candy Bleakz is kicking off a new phase in her journey with the enthralling Better Days EP.
Across the 8-track project, Candy Bleakz makes a case for ease and joy as she contends with all the ways her artistry and experiences have evolved over the years since the release of her debut project, Fire EP. She breaks free from the hitches that previously stood in her way and sheds the persona of the “Ladies Dragon” while stepping into the role of “Dragon Queen” following the sacrifices made along the way to fully ascend the glory of the indefatigable Queen of the Streets.
Better Days EP enlists collaborative efforts from industry staples from the melodious backing of leading songstress Simi and close collaborator Blood Civilian, gritty bars from Nigerian-English rapper, DTG, as well as Nigerian rap veteran, Vector to infectious vocals from fellow street pop artist Bella Shmurda.
Better Days EP is a softening balm for all moods whether being appreciative of your “Blessing” or seeking to “Party Hard”. It punctuates Candy Bleakz’s gutsy, self-assured, confident, and ambitious exploration of self and calls on listeners to do the same.
