Her unique cultural perspective ensures a listening experience that transcends borders.
The EP continues with “Mirror Eyes,” a captivating collaboration between Candy Man and Californian singer-songwriter Will Is Late. Currently based in Berlin, Will Is Late’s distinctive voice merges seamlessly with Candy Man’s spellbinding production, showcasing a harmonious synergy between the two artists.
