(February 13, 2025) – Justine Skye returns with the announcement of her new EP CANDY, arriving March 27 via Warner Records. The news lands alongside her latest single and video, “Thong,” produced by longtime friend and collaborator KAYTRANADA. Co-written with Daniel Caesar, the track glides on KAYTRANADA’s unmistakable groove, pulling listeners into a late-night world of flirtation, freedom, and fantasy. Playful yet poised, “Thong” captures Skye at her most magnetic, effortlessly riding the beat with self-assured ease.
With CANDY, Skye unveils her most confident and rhythm-forward body of work to date. The EP fuses R&B sensuality with house pulse, funk textures, and club-ready momentum. Contributions from Baby Tate and Machinedrum, alongside Daniel Caesar and KAYTRANADA, underscore a project that feels both expansive and cohesive. Long celebrated for balancing soul and groove, Skye now leans fully into dance music’s kinetic energy without sacrificing her emotional core.
“Thong” follows a string of dance-leaning standouts that signaled this new era, including fan favorites “Oh Lala” and “YAP,” both praised by outlets such as Billboard and BET. Together, those releases positioned Skye as a fearless bridge between R&B and house; CANDY expands that vision with sharper edges, brighter colors, and an undeniable sense of joy.
Over the past year, Skye has emerged as one of contemporary music’s most dynamic cross-genre voices — touring internationally, stepping into high-fashion moments, and deepening her bond with fans through candor and vulnerability. From Ibiza-tinged anthems to Pride-ready staples, her evolution into dance music feels organic, intuitive, and distinctly her own.
Beyond the studio and stage, Skye continues to champion mental health advocacy, recently serving as a keynote speaker at the 2025 Active Minds Conference. “Speaking up about mental health isn’t a weakness — it’s a strength,” she shared. “[When] we open up, we not only heal ourselves, we inspire others to do the same.”
Pre-save or pre-order CANDY now, stream “Thong,” and stay tuned for more from Justine Skye soon.
