Song #5: Candy Store

Drawing inspiration from Latin music and the indie music genre, this tune is perhaps the simplest compared to every other song on our album. It features a typical arrangement of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, but with an acoustic guitar, percussion, and a chorus sung by Proctor alumni, Stefanie Schechter. This song has me play an upright bass, a difficult task with the goal of having a distinct and unique bass tone. With a bit of a Latin groove in the verse, Candy Store features a dreamy-sounding chorus with no percussion, keeping with our theme of dynamics. To put it frank, this song was written with the intent of having it catchy and easily recognisable. It's not my favourite song that I have, but I find it hard not to think about it.
