Justine Skye returns with the announcement of her new EP CANDY, arriving March 27 via Warner Records. The reveal is paired with the release of her latest single and music video, “Thong,” produced by longtime collaborator KAYTRANADA.
Driven by KAYTRANADA’s signature bounce and sleek, groove-forward production, “Thong” ushers listeners into a world of flirtation, freedom, and late-night fantasy. Co-written by Justine Skye and Daniel Caesar, the track captures her floating effortlessly over the beat with assured magnetism. The accompanying visual mirrors that energy, presenting an artist fully in command of her aesthetic and sound.
With CANDY, Justine Skye delivers what stands as her most confident and rhythm-forward project to date. The EP blends R&B sensuality with house textures, funk influences, and club-ready momentum. Alongside contributions from Baby Tate, Machinedrum, Daniel Caesar, and KAYTRANADA, the project signals a natural progression for an artist long positioned at the intersection of soul and groove—now leaning decisively into dance music.
“Thong” follows a breakout run of dance-infused releases, including “Oh Lala” and “YAP,” which drew attention from Billboard, BET, Highsnobiety, and Earmilk. Those singles established Justine Skye as a compelling bridge between R&B and house, and CANDY builds on that foundation with heightened color, clarity, and creative freedom.
Over the past year, she has further solidified her place as a cross-genre force—touring internationally, stepping into high-fashion moments, and deepening her connection with audiences through vulnerability and authenticity. From Ibiza-leaning anthems to Pride Month staples, her embrace of dance music has felt both organic and intentional.
Beyond her recording career, Justine Skye continues to champion mental health awareness. In 2025, she served as a keynote speaker at the Active Minds Conference, reinforcing her advocacy for wellness and open dialogue. “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.”
With CANDY set for release March 27, Justine Skye enters a new era defined by confidence, movement, and creative expansion. “Thong” is available now via Warner Records.
