Candydrip is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Lucky Daye, released on Keep Cool Records and RCA Records on March 10, 2022.[5] The album reached number 69 on the Billboard 200 chart.[6] It features collaborations with Smino, Lil Durk, Chiiild and Alex Isley, and is produced by D'Mile.[2][7] The song "Guess" samples "U Don't Have to Call" by Usher.[7]
Lucky Daye announced the deluxe version of the album on November 16, along with the release of a music video for the original album track "Fuckin' Sound" directed by Kanya Iwana.[8] The deluxe album released December 9, featuring four additional songs including the "original version" of "NWA" as well as "These Signs" and "Apply Pressure".[9]
Style
The album, like Lucky Daye's previous work, is considered contemporary R&B.[2][4] It is said to expand on his sound "only slightly", with the typical laidback vibe and "tasteful" instrumentation infused with "gently plucked acoustic guitar and cinematic strings alongside textural pitch-shifted vocals and rhythmic backbeats" by producer D'Mile.[2] The album takes influence from Soundcloud rap's lo-fi qualities, with some tracks such as "NWA" incorporating elements of trap.[4]
