Well this is all sorts of delicious. Candy Apple Blue (the only apple I want to take a bite out of) return with their trusty vocalist Nick Bramlett on new single Crying My Eyes Out. This teardrops on the disco floor, dance away the heartache epic has been given a sassy remix by the adorable Matt Pop - and the combined talents of these folks come together to ensure the listener gets a gloriously swirling glitter ball of a song. Who hasn't had the type of disappointment in love that leaves you bereft and sobbing into your gallon of ice cream? Yet rarely has the agony sounded so eloquently exquisite as it does here. The lyrics are like a peak into every unrequited love affair I had as a teen, documented in diaries long since locked away. Candy Apple Blue let those memories free thanks to a simmering melody and Nick's beautifully expressive voice (as dramatic as any season of Elite on Netflix). Meanwhile, the remix brings decadent yet graceful strings that swoop alongside the sinewy percussion and sumptuous synths. It is a full on, textured immersive experience - but one that leaves you feeling uplifted. You've finger clicked your way to a happier tomorrow and are ready to take a chance on love again. Ah the power of a timeless pop song. These are Candy Apple Blue's halcyon days - best tell everyone you've ever met.
