Josh Tobias’ first single to kickoff 2017, “Candy,” is a funk-infused groove, laced with tasteful slapped-bass licks and undulating synths composed over snappy electronic drums with a reggae flavor. He lays down an unfettered vocal performance, accompanied by rhythmically pleasing funk-guitar chords that complement his expressive confidence. This freshly woven dance track maintains a musical and lyrical sensuality reminiscent of a 90s r&b record, while elements of modern electronic production are brightly displayed within the tapestry’s vibrant fibers. “Candy” has telltale chart-topping potential, and is a powerful cut to begin the new-year.
