luv candy sees the worlds of producer Junior Taurus and singer-songwriter Una Rams coalesce in a sprightly blend of percussion and rhythm. “I’m always asking the question, ‘How would Una sound on everything that’s out there?’” Una Rams tells Apple Music. “I call myself a sonic nomad, so I want to have passport stamps from every genre and be able to travel everywhere sonically.” This vibrant three-pack is a taste of Rams’ journey into dance as he glides over mellow instrumentation while celebrating good vibes and love. “South Africa is the dance capital of the world, so this is a love letter to one of our greatest exports,” he says. “It blends Taurus’ soulful amapiano with the heavy R&B influence that I come in with.” Here, Rams talks us through the single, track by track. “on the run” “Making these songs, we weren’t thinking too much about what this was going to turn into. It’s a kinda fun realisation of serendipity how it all tells a tale—a body of work speaking on summertime flings. This is a soundtrack to falling in love in the summer, wondering if it will last or just be for the season. So, this speaks of a really peng ting that you see when you’re out partying. She’s with her friends and having a hot-girl summer. Everybody just wants to enjoy themselves, but she’s on her own mission. She’s scared of commitment, and that might be because she was hurt recently. She’s on the run.” “won’t stop” “One of my favourite songs on the new Drake and 21 Savage project is ‘BackOutsideBoyz’. I feel like this is a theme song in itself, saying, ‘Yo, we’re trying to be outside, for real.’ We know about the nightlife and party culture in South Africa. When you’re out, you really don’t wanna go home until the party’s done! This song is a testament to that…going from one location to the next ’cause as long as the music’s playing, people keep dancing.” “nobody else” “This is leaning more to the romantic side of everything. It’s just a testament of love. This is where the summertime fling is happening, and the love is burning as hot as the summer sun. Things are beautiful between the two lovers and just feel the opposite of gloomy. It’s all rainbows and sunshine. It’s a fun one because there’s a play on words using the popular shi shi shi amapiano refrain to make the sentence, ‘She loves me and nobody else.’”
