I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE — WATCH [[ADD LINK]]

If you’re a fan of powerhouse vocals on bone-chilling, emotive ballads, then we think you should stay.

Presented and directed by alternative disruptor Candi Carpenter, enter the new music video for their single “Friday Night (Three Stacks On The Radio),” inspired by everybody’s favorite comedian, Tim Robinson, and his series, I Think You Should Leave. More specifically, the episode titled, Friday,” wherein the suited Robinson delivers a truly impactful eulogy with a deadpan delivery that truly makes you feel as if maybe you should leave, but to leave would mean missing out on a once-in-a-lifetime performance (here.)

Replacing Robinson’s absurdist delivery with Candi Carpenter’s Lady Gaga-level vocal control and range, we’re left with the “Friday Night” that we all deserved and never suspected.

Watch the Candi Carpenter rendition of “Friday Night (Three Stacks On The Radio),” here.

On the choice to tap ITYSL for their next single, Candi explained, “As a fellow Michigan kid who learned to make little jokes when things were hard, Tim Robinson’s comedy makes me feel less alone. I am not entirely sure if I even have a real personality anymore or if I am just a sentient amalgamation of bits and lines from I Think You Should Leave. Tim and his collaborators write all of these incredible songs for the series, and ‘Friday Night (Three Stacks on The Radio)’ is such a freaking banger. Recording this cover and re-creating some of the sketch for the music video is my feeble attempt at saying ‘Thank you’ to a show that’s helped me and my friends survive a lot of rough times. If I Think You Should Leave ever officially becomes a religion, I will consider joining.”

From the raunchy, unbridled mind that brought you the ultimate 2025 protest anthem, “American God,” and the beautifully fatalistic voice behind “The Fear Of Being Human Remains,” Candi Carpenter is the ideal candidate to lead a future filled with artists that are unafraid and uncensored.

Candi Carpenter (they/them) is a queer, non-binary, openly autistic singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-disciplinary artist who is unafraid to shatter expectations. A true rock and alternative musician’s musician, Candi writes songs that cut deep, grappling with toxic religion, sexuality, identity, and the existential beauty of the human experience.

For fans of cheeky visionaries and fun sonispheres, keep your eyes peeled for more from Candi Carpenter, who plans to be a continued source of inspiration for the downtrodden, the misunderstood and the fabulous.

Never fraudulent, forever authentic, Candi Carpenter thinks we should stay.
