Justine Skye returns to announce her new EP CANDY due March 27th via Warner Records. The announcement is paired with her new single and music video “Thong,” produced by friend and collaborator KAYTRANADA. Driven by KAYTRANADA’s signature production style and co-written by Justine and Daniel Caesar, “Thong” ushers listeners into a world of flirtation, freedom, and late-night fantasy. This playfully unapologetic single and its accompanying music video capture Justine in her element as she floats effortlessly over the beat with magnetic confidence.

 

 

With CANDY, Justine delivers her most confident, carefree, and rhythm-forward project to date — blending R&B sensuality with house, funk, and club-ready energy. Featuring contributions from Baby Tate, and Machinedrum alongside Daniel Caesar and KAYTRANADA, the EP marks a natural evolution for an artist who has long lived at the intersection of soul and groove, now embracing the world of dance music.

“Thong” follows a breakout run of dance-infused releases that signaled Justine’s new chapter, including fan favorites “Oh Lala” and “YAP,” which earned praise from Billboard, BET, Highsnobiety, and Earmilk. Those records established her as a fearless bridge between R&B and house — and CANDY builds on that foundation with even more color, confidence, and joy.

Over the past year, Justine has emerged as one of music’s most exciting cross-genre voices — touring globally, high fashion moments, and deepening her connection with fans through vulnerability and authenticity. From Ibiza-inspired anthems to Pride Month staples, her journey into dance music has felt organic, intuitive, and unmistakably hers.

Beyond the music, Justine continues to use her platform for impact, including her work as a mental health advocate and keynote speaker at the 2025 Active Minds Conference — reinforcing her commitment to wellness, self-expression, and community. “Speaking up about mental health isn’t a weakness — it’s a strength,” she shared in her speech. “[When] we open up, we not only heal ourselves, we inspire others to do the same.”
