Feels So Good Candyman

This is a definite feels so good song, a Candyman remake from the legendary Sammy Davis, Jr.  Upon first hearing, it surely gave me a great feeling.  It's just that kind of song that you'd love listening to, over and over again.  The moment Zedd came out with Clarity, a few years back, he made a household name for himself and is a rare gem to watch out for.





Finding out the story behind it, the more I became in awe with its history that it is a classic song.  Not only as a way of promoting M&M choco but more of as a tribute to the original artist.  When it comes to commercials or ads, this is more than just a marketing gimmick because the song, both the original and the remake, sticks to your memory.





The way they also incorporated vintage, old black and white with the integrated voices of both Sammy Davis, Jr and Aloe Blacc is a very creative input.  Even for just a few seconds, the fact that they remastered Sammy Davis, Jr's voice into it is a wonderful tribute.  The fusion of the present vibe with the melody and more in-depth lyrics gives more value to the song as a whole. It maintains the originality of the song, only with deeper meaning.  You would not even think it was actually a means of celebrating the known brand of sweets' 75th anniversary.  It stands out alone as a treasured song itself.  Every time this song comes on the radio, it instantly diffuses whatever sour mood I may be in, but instead making me feel better, as the song says, feels so good.
