Platinum-selling Chicago hip-hop artist G Herbo has released new project Big Swerv and, at the same time, new single and video "Candyman."
"On the track, an anxious beat brushes up against airy synths, conjuring the unease of a classic horror flick score," reads the press release. "Meanwhile, Herbo digs deep. He pleads, 'God forgive me for my sins,' and he makes a confession, 'At least a hundred nights I cried when I lost my twin.' While the sonic tension tightens, he steps into another light with a sharp refrain, 'Call me Candyman.' The accompanying music video effectively channels this spirit on-screen with a nod to the timeless Chicago-set horror flick Candyman."
The video, dark and lit in red, definitely has horror movie vibes in the tradition of the movie that shares the track's name. That works perfectly with the song, which has a slow beat carrying the sisnister atmosphere.
