Candy Apple Blue

Candy Apple Blue is an American two-piece synth-pop band and sibling songwriting duo from Pittsburgh, PA, consisting of Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick. Formed in late 2009, they are known for their vibrant synth-pop sound, which draws inspiration from 1980s new wave acts and contemporary electronic pop. The duo prides themselves on being "songwriters at heart" and often collaborate with guest vocalists on their recordings. They have composed music for several films, including the theme song for "Going Down in LA-LA Land" and "Between Love & Goodbye." Their discography includes albums like "Prone to Panic!" (2011), "Night Tracks" (2013), "Powers Activate!" (2018), and "Second Sight" (2021), with a forthcoming album titled "Breakthrough."

Candy Apple Blue's recent releases reflect their ongoing creativity and collaboration with various artists and producers. Their music often features a blend of vintage and modern elements, with Carly handling synthesizers and audio engineering, while Hoyt focuses on vocal melodies and lyrics. The duo continues to evolve their sound, working with producers like Matt Pop and Juno Dreams, and exploring different styles within the synth-pop genre.
