Candice Anitra Remembers Haiti With Funk-Laden Dance Track
Follow me on Facebook, Twitter. I guess nobody told Candice Anitra that all tribute songs are supposed to sound alike — slow moving anthemic power ballads that you never want to hear more than once. Good for her. Her song "Today," which remembers Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake on its second anniversary, is a funk-laden dance [...]
