SEX AND CANDY
If you were alive in 1997, you can already hear the opening refrain in your head — stuck there by endless rotation on MTV. Even if you weren’t, this sultry earworm is about to become your new favorite Valentine jam, thanks to Daemon (@songsbydae). He and longtime collaborator Adrian’s Beats apply their evolving grunge-trap sound and turn slacker rock into something with real sex appeal. Their cover harnesses the soul of Marcy Playground’s original over modern production, striking a reverent tone with an edgy, updated approach.
The result: a version of the song that actually f#$@s!
