So, without further ado, in the 58^th edition of Beaming with Pride 🏳️‍🌈 (2024), we highlight “Next Bitch” performed by Brooke Candy.

“Taste the rainbow 🌈, take one bite / Bubblegum, yeah, pop tonight.” Fo’ sho, Brooke Candy.  Give us more of those slick lyrics! “Special taffy, pink and white / Cotton candy bed tonight.” That is some sugary sweet sugar honey iced tea! We’d expect no less from Brooke Candy who is “Next Bitch”! That’s the name of her rainbow-bubblegum-taffy-cotton candied first single from her album, Spiral! That said, the lyrics from the bridge are much tamer than the more explicit, fiercer lyrics that appear on much of this brief but potent single.  Candy’s confidence is ‘through the roof’ on this Jon Santana-produced bop. Candy, Santana, and Liam Benayon penned this bitchin’ joint.

“Next Bitch” features electric musical accompaniment.  The rhythm is driving from the onset.  The synths are lit, and the anchoring beat goes hard.  The backdrop sets up Candy for success and indisputable fierceness.  She raps and sings on the brief cut where she asserts, I’ve got next… bi-otch! After characterizing her (whoever she is) as wack, in the intro, she asserts in the chorus, “I’m the next bitch / I’m infectious / Fuckin’ reckless / You gon’ bite this?” Woo! It’s difficult to catch everything Candy spits in the first verse, but the overall takeaway is that this girl is bad! Not only is she bad enough to “Shave my head and then pierce my nips,” she legitimately poses the question, “How many bitches get down like this?” She’s also a ‘bad bitch’ when she sings, bragging, “I, when I walk in the room / These bitches in the tomb / Miss Candy, if you pay me, pay me.”  What more needs to be said? The thirtysomething rapper/singer drops another one!
