“Candy is about the intoxicating rush of instant attraction, where every glance feels like a pull,” says Metro Villa on their latest single.
“It’s about the moment you meet someone and feel an urge to surrender to the intensity of your emotions, as you both lock in.”
A song as emotionally charged as this one is bound to be full of energy, and that’s exactly what Metro Villa deliver on “Candy”. Off the back of their beautiful Live At The Two Oceans Aquarium EP, they now return to form, trading acoustic sensibilities for searing indie-rock.
The accompanying music video, directed by Neil Bedeker, shows the boys in an off-white studio absolutely shredding it. It’s clean, it’s simple—just like the song itself—and that’s why it’s so good.
The band will also embark on a three-date tour at the end of the month between Cape Town (tickets) and Joburg (tickets) before their much-anticipated RAMFEST slot. Oh yes, you know it’s gonna be a goodie.
But, in the meantime, let “Candy” whet your appetite for what’s to come.
