Sandy Martin's new release, "Ice Candy," is based on when you have it all but can't get the one thing you want more than anything. She's a very powerful goddess of the cosmos and freedom and control and all that, but she can't command love.
The single deals with the space between external power and internal satisfaction. She has a whole universe to herself and seems to live outside normal parameters. This great power does not fill the loneliness of the heart. No amount of strength or control can overcome the absence of meaningful connection.
The imagery is cosmic, creating a larger-than-life setting, but the concern is very human. The common longing for love and intimacy leads us to the concept of an infinite goddess. It challenges the notion that having it all means being whole. "Ice Candy" was co-written with Tim Phoenix and produced in Hollywood, CA. It takes that premise of imagination, and it turns it into a personal fight.
Sandy Martin's themes of power, freedom, and loneliness are sewn into a character whose extraordinary powers cannot change her emotional state. The song is not about what the figure can control but what she cannot. "Ice Candy" is about how loneliness isn't necessarily cured by that sort of overwhelming power.
