Claudia Valentina returns with a fearless new single, āCandy,ā released today via Electric Feel. The track reinvents the unforgettable hook from Kelisā āMilkshakeā, channeling it into a slow-burning, self-assured anthem that blends dark-pop production with raw, unfiltered attitude.
The rising singer-songwriter shares, āI like to release music the same way I make it, what I feel like at the time ācause a bad bitch can be many things in one day and āCandyā is like a taste of that other side. Ear candy moments, ācause boring pop gives me the ick.ā With its magnetic vocals and hypnotic beat, āCandyā is both an homage and a reinvention, asserting Claudiaās place in the new guard of pop innovators.
The accompanying visual takes Claudia out of the studio and into the wildāliterally. Set in a sprawling field and along dusty backroads, the music video features Claudia and an all-female crew racing in vintage cars and on ATVs. Equal parts cinematic and rebellious, itās a powerful visual complement to the trackās provocative message. āThe video for āCandyā Iāve had on my mood board for around 6 years, and for it to finally come to life feels super exciting,ā Claudia reveals.
āCandyā follows her recent singles āCry Them Dry,ā āWhen Iām High,ā and āDiamonds On My Teeth,ā all set to appear on her upcoming EP. With this latest release, Claudia cements her reputation for unpredictable, uncompromising pop.
