Today, Berlin-based Kiwi singer-songwriter Graham Candy releases his new EP Keep On Smiling, a feel-good collection of infectious dance-pop that oozes summer vibes.
From the nostalgic warmth of 'Aroha' that sings about memories of sun-dappled Kauri trees and juicy feijoas, to the über-catchy title track's timely reminder of better, brighter days to come. These sing-along tunes are barbeque/road trip/dance-floor ready, complete with Candy's flair for quirky lyricism and glittery 90's-style production.
Candy reflects on the journey: "Keep On Smiling is my second ever EP and I've done a lot of soul-searching to get to this point. I finally feel like my music is 150 percent me. It's especially poignant to be sharing all my energy and love that I put into this record with my listeners, friends, and whānau in New Zealand going through a really tough time at the moment. I'm looking forward to playing these songs one day for them and have a big party!"
