Janet Devlin – “Candy”
Janet Devlin’s “Candy” is one of those tracks that makes you do a double take. You think you know what it’s going to be about, and then she pulls you somewhere deeper. The sugar baby storyline could have been handled in a cheap way, but she goes for honesty instead. She wrote it with Chris Markey and recorded it in Nashville during the Emotional Rodeo sessions, and it took a bunch of different versions before she found the quicker tempo that made it all click.
She’s clearly in a strong chapter right now with major festival appearances and headline shows under her belt, and “Candy” is another reminder that this country lane suits her, so stream it, and go follow Janet Devlin everywhere you can because you’ll want to keep up with the new music and the live dates as they roll in.
