When Jamaicans get into something new, we try to own it. Girl group Valkyries Of Arcadia took over screens of every kind, bring a vibe wherever they show up, and now are taking on the music scene. The group consists of Empr3ss Nile, SilverN3ko, Zuri San, Quani, and Buggie, and while they dominate the cosplay, beauty, and gaming arenas, they see music as the next big step. The group makes their debut with, “Candy Rush“.
Released through V.O.A. Studios, the Valkyries Of Arcadia seek to stand out with their debut single, “Candy Rush”. As the title suggests, it’s all about sweet things and treats here as the girls are just having fun on the track. With the K-Pop wave finding its way onto our shores since its debut, the V.O.A. found inspiration there, and decided to open the door for a new subgenre, a mix of K-Pop, Pop Music, and Dancehall. The lyrics may not blow you away and the overall production and direction of the track may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when we Jamaicans try out something, there will be stumbles before it gets great. “Candy Rush” has commercial promise, as parts of the song could be used to promote products, and the ladies are no strangers to the promotion game. The single has been met with mixed reviews since its official release, but that’s just the rite of passage many Creatives go through when they’re just starting out, and the V.O.A. crew is not exempt from that. For the fans, be sure to keep this in rotation, and with the right direction, the V.O.A. will knock it out the park with the next release.
