When your pride gets itself a fearless attitude it starts sounding a whole damn lot like “MIDDLE,” the new single from shining force SweetCandy! featuring Laf0822. Arriving overdriven with attitude and a heartbeat you can feel, this track is a track for the cities that reared us, somewhere we can return feeling proud just to be from. “MIDDLE” races to the heart of the matter as a sendoff to Los Angeles and Akron, written to leave no time on the cutting-room floor. SweetCandy! provides a shiny track that defines what it is to hail from the middle of the map.
It’s a song for the underdogs and the ones who hold it down when no one is looking. There’s a rawness to the production that contributes to the song’s authenticity, and it’s a similar raw edge that makes “MIDDLE” feel like something meant to be heard blaring from car systems, bumping through block parties, and echoing off neighborhood streets. The beat rocks with a purpose, but it’s the message that makes you play it again and again. Wherever you are, north, south, east, or west, this one lets you rep your city with style. SweetCandy! lets it be known that this is a communal celebration.
“MIDDLE” is dedicated to all those who have never felt fully seen, appreciated, or truly present on either of America’s two coastlines, but who still rise every morning with fire in their belly. It’s about where you come from and about owning that place unapologetically. At a time when a lot of artists are following trends, SweetCandy! doubles down on authenticity. “MIDDLE” not only puts Akron and LA on the map, but it also makes you want to put your own there. If you’re repping your city, “MIDDLE” is the song you didn’t know you were missing in your life.
