You need to stop what you’re doing and check out "Click," the new single from Candace in Wonderland that just hit the airwaves today (January 24th). If you’re into vibey, trippy alt-pop with synths that feel like they were ripped straight from the NASA control room, this one’s for you. Candace Matthews (she/her), the mastermind behind Candace in Wonderland, has crafted a track that’s both a cosmic anthem and a danceable ode to finding your people and your place.
The story behind this bop? Pure magic. Picture this: it’s fall 2022, and Candace is in a Nashville pop writing camp run by Hell Yes Demos. She’s chatting about her obsession with space documentaries when she finds out one of the producers in the room, Josh Roach, has worked on tracks for NASA. From there, "Click" basically wrote itself. Heavy synths, space-inspired imagery, and a sprinkle of weirdness? Yes, please. Add in the final touches from producer Tony Chetta—complete with stacked vocal layers and even a sneaky little sitar—and you’ve got a song that’s impossible not to vibe with.
Candace describes "Click" as the high point of her self-discovery journey. “It’s such a special/fun/wacky song,” she says. “I hope it makes people feel as empowered and aligned as I felt when we were writing it!” The lyrics are a mix of playful and introspective, with lines like “Am I speaking an alien language?” and “Finally the stars align”—basically, it’s giving main character energy in the best way.
If you’re into artists like Remi Wolf, Magdalena Bay, or Benee, you’ll definitely vibe with Candace’s dreamy yet punchy sound. "Click" is perfect for blasting while you’re getting ready for a night out or just dancing around your room in moon boots and holographic eyeliner. It’s the kind of track that’ll land on Spotify playlists like Fit Check, SUGAR, or Soiree in no time.
Candace in Wonderland is all about creating a surreal dreamland with her music, and honestly, Mission accomplished. Born in Sonora, CA, and raised in Walla Walla, WA, she’s now based in Nashville, where she’s been turning her colorful aesthetic into bedroom pop magic since 2019. Fun fact: she changes her hair color with every release, so keep an eye on her IG (@candace.in.wonderland) to see what’s next.
Oh, and did we mention that all the planets are aligning tomorrow, January 25th? Talk about perfect timing. Go stream "Click" now and let it transport you to another galaxy—or at least make your day a whole lot brighter.
