Lucky Daye Releases ‘Candydrip (Deluxe)’ Album

 

Lucky Daye's "Candydrip (Deluxe)" album cover.

Lucky Daye has reissued his sophomore album, Candydrip, with a deluxe edition.

D’Mile also co-wrote and co-produced “Apply Pressure” with Ben Maddahi. Here, Daye is crushing hard on a fly woman he wants to explore romantic possibilities with. The fact she isn’t giving in as quickly to his advances as he’d like it’s affecting his male self-esteem. He’s still doing his best to impress.

“Over,” the lead single from Candydrip, entered at No. 92 the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It’s his first entry on the main singles chart. The Musiq Soulchild-sampled tune reached No. 77 in the April 09 issue.

On Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, “Over” peaked at No. 14, while it climbed to No. 6 on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart.

This fall, Daye released Candydrip as a double LP vinyl. It’s available at Target, Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Elusive Disc, among other music retailers. Vinyl prices range from $26.99 to $33.99.

Daye is nominated for five 2023 Grammys, including Best R&B Album (Candydrip) and Best R&B Performance (“Over”).

His other nods come from his writing credits on Mary J. Blige’s Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe) and Beyoncé’s Renaissance.

He co-wrote Blige’s title track with Blige, H.E.R., Tiara Thomas and D’Mile. It’s up for Best R&B Song, Best Traditional R&B Performance and Record of the Year.

As a co-songwriter on Good Morning Gorgeous (Deluxe) and Beyoncé’s Renaissance, Daye is acknowledged as a double Album of the Year nominee.

He co-wrote “Alien Superstar,” from Beyoncé’s latest platinum album.
