Candidate is a poignant single by Songs About Rivers, recently released and part of the artist’s upcoming, second full-length album. Reflecting on the artist’s past as a political campaign staffer, the track delves into the fading idealism and optimism of youth as one navigates adulthood. Produced and recorded independently by Brendan White the man behind his musical project, Candidate is a melodious indie rock track characterized by vulnerable vocals and a gradual buildup. It unfolds as a slow-burner, captivating listeners with its introspective themes and evocative musicality. This gem promises to reward attentive ears, particularly after the four-minute mark, where the song’s magic truly shines.
