Giora Channels Dark Pop Energy on New Track ‘POWER CANDY’

Giora previews a sharp new chapter with “POWER CANDY,” the latest single from the London-based multidisciplinary artist’s forthcoming EP FREEWAY, out 1 May via their label Holypop.

The track continues Giora’s run of genre-blurring releases that fuse experimental pop with theatrical sound design and emotionally charged songwriting. A singer, producer, creative director and sound artist, Giora has steadily built a reputation across Europe’s underground circuit, performing alongside the likes of Isabella Lovestory, Varg, and FKA twigs, while earning coverage from tastemaker outlets including NOTION, CLASH, and Wonderland.

On “POWER CANDY,” Giora sharpens their sound into something both intimate and volatile. Co-produced with Czech artist Oliver Torr (Sunnbrella, Palmistry, Evita Manji) and mastered by composer Zac Tiessen, the track threads together gothic pop sensibilities with fractured club rhythms and distorted melodic fragments. It’s a sonic palette that nods toward the avant-pop experimentation of artists like Oklou and Caroline Polachek, while maintaining Giora’s distinctly cinematic edge.

Lyrically, the single explores the destabilising pull of power dynamics in relationships, framing control and vulnerability as intertwined forces rather than opposites. That tension is mirrored in the production: shimmering synth layers and breakbeat-inflected momentum collide with a brooding guitar motif, creating a track that constantly shifts between warmth and unease.

It’s a more exposed moment in Giora’s catalogue, but one that still carries their signature sense of scale. Where earlier work leaned into dense experimental architecture, “POWER CANDY” feels more direct in its emotional intent, allowing space for the vocal performance to cut through the haze.

Having already road-tested the track in Berlin and Prague, Giora’s latest signals an artist continuing to refine a language of their own, one that sits comfortably between underground club abstraction and widescreen pop ambition.
