Talk about blasting us out of our post-Christmas slump! 'Candid', the new single from NYC's longhair song-writer MICKY, is an energetic speed ball of retro sounds and foot tapping hooks. Not dissimilar to the rock and roll-infused pop bangers of Bruno Mars or Pharrell Williams, his has a more indie flavour to his authentic pop. Originally from California, it's clear that he's taken inspiration from his idol Elvis as he embodies the kind of exhilarating delivery rarely seen these days. Notching up some high profile shows in New York, it's only a matter of time before he's rock and rolling his way over the pond. In the mean time, this one will have no trouble keeping us dancing. - SJ
