Candy

## ***Candy***Studio album by Kim Petras

"**Candy**" is a scrapped studio album by Kim Petras. It was meant to be a replacement for the shelved album Problématique, before it ended up being ultimately scrapped, as it never made it further than being a concept.

## Background

While waiting for the delay of an album release, Petras revealed in April of 2022 that she had written 3 albums worth of songs, and with little info on this album, it's safe to assume this was one of those album concepts made to replace Problématique. In her Amazon Music Documentary "The Lead Up," she revealed an album tracklist, and in a tweet from BunheadHQ, they confirmed this album was created in or around March of 2022 with most tracks being written in 2021, other than older tracklist inclusions such as Choker & Dirty Dirty (2015), and Fascination & Pressure (2020).

It is assumed this album concept was set aside and scrapped in favor for Feed The Beast, not making it any further than being a concept album.
