Belgian balladeer Loverman releases wonderful new single just in time for the summer! Candyman is alluring and mesmerizing. Slowly rising as a sweltering summer sun. Acoustic guitars, elegant strings and Loverman's deep and spellbinding voice. It's powerful stuff!
“Your Candyman may be many things to many people”, James De Graef a.k.a. Loverman muses “The fire that brings joy to the party. Walking in love, unsure of what that might mean. Your Candyman is a drifter. You might catch a glimpse, a flickering, a flare up. This song, a paean as much as an indictment towards said Candyman, is like a mirror. Telling me, its creator, a good thing or two. I love my Candyman. As you might love yours. As I might love yours. As you might love mine. The fire of life that burns inside us all. Your Candyman isn’t afraid to show its life force. Its love of life. More than most of us can say, It knows what it wants from life. And we may stand by, watching and learning and watching it burning, having all the fun. Itself, learning a thing or two, perhaps finding happiness along the way."
Shot in the Tabernas desert in Spain. Loverman and Daisy Ray once again teamed up to produce and directed the accompanying video. “Daisy Ray and I chose to have our Candyman’s drama take place in the driest place of Europe. The Spanish desert of Tabernas, where the soul of many a drifter and Spaghetti Western still lingers”, James explains, “The Candyman is played by my longtime, dear friend, Michiel Renson aka Michelle. The two of us figure in the video, clothed by the most wonderful garments made by the one and only Daisy Ray.'
Candyman was written by Loverman and produced by Pieterjan Maertens & Jo Francken (known for their work with fellow Belgian prodigy Tamino and French singer Zaz) and Loverman himself.
On the back of previous singles Into The Night and Differences Aside Loverman has already strong support from BBC6 Music in the UK, FIP in France and Radio 1 in Belgium, making it to the top of their VOX listener's chart.
