JUSTINE SKYE ANNOUNCES NEW DANCE EP CANDY – ARRIVING MARCH 27 VIA WARNER RECORDS
R&B/POP STAR JUSTIN SKYE REUNITES WITH KAYTRANADA ON SEDUCTIVE NEW SINGLE “THONG”
Justine Skye is stepping fully into her feel-good, dancefloor-dominating era. Today, the multi-hyphenate star announces her new EP, CANDY, arriving March 27 via Warner Records — led by her irresistible new single and video, “Thong”, is produced by longtime collaborator KAYTRANADA.
With CANDY, Justine delivers her most confident, carefree, and rhythm-forward project to date — blending R&B sensuality with house, funk, and club-ready energy. The EP marks a natural evolution for an artist who has long lived at the intersection of soul and groove, now embracing dance music as home.
Her latest offering, “Thong,” is the sweetest preview yet. Driven by KAYTRANADA’s signature bounce — shimmering synths, elastic basslines, and hypnotic percussion — “Thong” drops listeners straight into Justine’s world of flirtation, freedom, and late-night fantasy. Playful, bold, and unapologetically sexy, the record finds her floating effortlessly over the beat with magnetic confidence. Justine meets the moment with refreshing directness: “I like it, I want it, I’ll do it, get to it” — building to a euphoric crescendo.
Produced by KAYTRANADA and co-written by Justine and Daniel Caesar, “Thong” continues to be one of modern R&B’s most beloved creative partnerships.
The accompanying video brings the record’s energy to life through sexy silhouettes, sleek visuals, sensual choreography, and cinematic flair. Set in a dreamy, neon-lit hotel world, the film captures Justine in her element — teasing, dancing, and commanding every frame. With its fashion-forward styling and seductive movement, the visual reflects her effortless beauty and taste.
“Thong” follows a breakout run of dance-infused releases that signaled Justine’s new chapter, including fan favorites “Oh Lala” and “YAP,” which earned praise from Billboard, BET, Highsnobiety, and Earmilk. Those records established her as a fearless bridge between R&B and house — and CANDY builds on that foundation with even more color, confidence, and joy.
Over the past year, Justine has emerged as one of music’s most exciting cross-genre voices — touring globally, delivering viral performances, fronting fashion moments, and deepening her connection with fans through vulnerability and authenticity. From Ibiza-inspired anthems to Pride Month staples, her journey into dance music has felt organic, intuitive, and unmistakably hers.
Beyond the music, Justine continues to use her platform for impact, including her work as a mental health advocate and keynote speaker at the 2025 Active Minds Conference — reinforcing her commitment to wellness, self-expression, and community. “Speaking up about mental health isn’t a weakness — it’s a strength,” she shared in her speech. “[When] we open up, we not only heal ourselves, we inspire others to do the same.”
Sweet, sensual, and made for movement, CANDY captures
