Sweet, Sour, and Seriously Addictive: TRIPOV’s “Sour Candy”

When we made Sour Candy, the sound came first. We were chasing a feeling — something smooth, rhythmic, and addictive. The result? A vibrant blend of afrobeat and R&B that moves your body before you even realize what the ly

rics are saying. It’s a beat that grooves and glows, like sunshine through a window, layered with melodies that feel both playful and personal.

The afrobeat rhythm gave us that bounce — something you can dance to, something that feels alive. But the R&B side brought the emotion. It added softness, a touch of longing, a sense of intimacy. We wanted Sour Candy to live in that sweet spot: where rhythm meets heart, where fun meets feeling.

Lyrically, it’s cheeky and warm — about being wanted, being unsure, and still showing up with sweetness. But more than anything, this song is about the sound. It’s about letting go, dancing it out, and finding joy in the mix of flavors — the sweet, the sour, and everything in between.
