Iona Griffey’s “Candy”: A pop-rock anthem with a bittersweet twist!

“Candy” by Iona Griffey

‘Candy’ is the latest single from Iona Griffey, a 19-year-old singer-songwriter who blends pop-rock, R&B and folk influences. The song follows her critically acclaimed 2023 releases ‘Colourblind’ and ‘Sweet Tooth’, which received airplay from BBC Radio Suffolk and other stations around the world. 

‘Candy’ tells the story of a teenager who falls for the wrong person and convinces herself that she is in a fairytale romance, despite being treated poorly. The song explores the themes of self-deception, heartbreak and empowerment, as she realizes that she does not have to settle for less than she deserves. 

The track is part of Iona Griffey’s upcoming album Lovers and Strangers, which will be released this summer. Iona stands out from the contemporary music scene with her instrument-driven sound, featuring rich rock and acoustic guitar and a powerful female voice.
