guccihighwaters Shares New Track "candy"
Today, guccihighwaters unveils his new track “candy” featuring soundcloud artist and producer, Lund. The song comes as the pair begin their North American co-headlining tour.
“My vision for ‘candy’ came to me when my friend Jay Vee and I were at the studio. He played a really somber yet comforting chord progression on his guitar and I instantly thought of something bittersweet,” explains guccihighwaters. “Sometimes you have to end a relationship that feels so good but is bad for you and won't end well. I felt like a bouncy uplifting drum pattern would complement the ambient melodies and Jay Vee laid those down real quick. After the track was done I had an open verse and was thinking about who it would sound great with — one of the first artists that popped into my head was Lund. We spoke a few times in the past about making some music together and at that time we just set up a tour together so I felt like it was the perfect timing and the perfect song for him to be a part of.”
guccihighwaters is the creative persona of singer and producer Morgan Murphy. guccihighwaters blends hip hop and emo genres seamlessly with his melodic tunes and lyrics that are vulnerable and intimately confessional. Growing up in Ireland, before moving to New York at the age of fifteen, his isolated beginnings gave him his work ethic and laid the groundwork for his succinct home recording process. Despite having only been on the scene since 2017, with his first EP Post Death, guccihighwaters has established himself as a force to be reckoned with garnering nearly 850,000 monthly Spotify listeners. He has since released two EPs November & Not Around Here and a series of singles.
