Mandy Moore Doesn’t Like Her ‘Candy’ Period
Mandy Moore recorded her last album, ‘Coverage’, without telling Sony exactly what she was up to and did a collection of covers by artists like Todd Rundgren, Carly Simon and Elton John rather than new material. It was the first time Moore felt that she had control over her music. “I was dead in the water, and no one really cared about me,” Moore tells Paper magazine of her period with Sony. “It was time to be with people who understand me and to have a bit more creative control.” She cringed recalling how her career began, opening for *NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys in 1999. “I was a big old geek,” she admitted. “I was 15 with this horrible hair and tacky makeup and outfits. I know what it’s like to be on the road, singing music detested. I was dancing because it was popular, even though I hated it. It’s what people were buying into. You’re out on the road promoting something you had no say in. It wasn’t working, and I was frustrated. I just wanted some authority.”
