Riiki Reid - Candy

Following the sun-drenched success of her chart-topper ‘Over Romantic,’ Aotearoa's own Riiki Reid has shared her captivating new single, ‘Candy.’

‘Candy’ carries a nostalgic essence as Riiki contemplates the future of a relationship as summer fades.

Over jangling guitar chords and punchy drum patterns, Riiki's emotionally charged songwriting delivers the bittersweet realisation of a romance almost too perfect to last. 

As Riiki herself explains, “'Candy' was written from a place of reminiscing the feelings that begin to take place at the end of a summer lovematch... when you’re in the grey zone and you don’t really know what the hell is going on in real life, you start getting desperate for an indication that the other person wants you as much as you want them."
