Brooke Candy: Das Me

Discovered her music the way you discover anything that matters—half by accident, but it landed because I was ready for something uncompromising. Everything about her work refuses to apologize, the sexuality brazen and functional rather than decorative, the aggression deliberate. She constructs entire worlds around the provocation instead of just relying on shock, which is why it works. That kind of fearlessness, that unwillingness to soften anything even if the entire industry wanted her to, that’s worth paying attention to.
