"The song is delightful yet profound – it encapsulates the anticipation before a kiss, the invitation, and the assurance."
LA singer-songwriter India Shawn unveils her new single ‘Cotton Candy Blvd’ featuring Grammy® Award-winning artist Lucky Daye, released through VANTA Music/Hollywood Records.
Offering a smooth experience, ‘Cotton Candy Blvd’ was crafted by her long-time collaborator D’Mile and Yonatan “Chiiild” Ayal. It immerses listeners into a slow-funk realm reminiscent of Earth, Wind & Fire – a sweet, sensory delight perfect for late summer.
Staying true to India’s authentic and introspective storytelling, ‘Cotton Candy Blvd’ conveys a genuine and relatable message.
She shares:
“’Cotton Candy Blvd’ represents a summer evening, a leisurely drive, and a long-awaited affirmation. I've been eagerly anticipating this dream collaboration just as much as the fans, and it truly delivers. There’s a certain magic in the way Lucky and I merged our sounds on this track. The song is sweet, yet it possesses depth – it’s the tension leading up to the kiss, the invitation, and the promise. When I sing ‘I’m more than ready to love,’ I genuinely mean it.”
This release marks India Shawn’s return to music following the introspective melancholy of ‘Kill Switch’ – her first solo track since the extended edition of her acclaimed 2021 album, ‘Before We Go (Deeper).’
Having written hits for Chris Brown, Monica, and Keri Hilson, and performed with Kanye West’s Sunday Service and Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, India has established herself as an artist respected and admired by her peers.
Now, with a renewed creative energy and a clear vision, India is poised to reclaim the spotlight. This next chapter is about not only keeping pace with the present but also shaping it.
