Mandy Moore Outgrows ‘Candy’ Quick

Mandy Moore talked to YM and she told them that ‘Candy’ was naïve and there was too much rhyming. “That’s the direction most critics figured my career would stay in,” Moore said. “I think my record label probably would’ve been happy with that too. Some people probably think it was just some grand marketing scheme to launch myself as older and more mature, but it was just music I really wanted to record. I was so young, so I didn’t realize what I do now. Someone was telling me what song to sing and how to sing it. Now you can’t shut me up.”
