Fiona Apple’s “Shameika” Featured in New Candyman Movie After Pledge to Donate Royalties to Charity
The new movie Candyman, a sequel to the 1992 horror classic that was released last week, features Fiona Apple’s song “Shameika” from last year’s Fetch the Bolt Cutters. The song plays in the background on a record player during a scene set in an art critic’s apartment. Last year, Apple made a pledge to donate all of the proceeds from TV and movie placements of “Shameika” to the Harlem Children’s Zone. Check out the trailer for Candyman, and revisit “Shameika,” below.
Apple won the prize for Best Rock Performance at the 2021 Grammy Awards for “Shameika,” with Fetch the Bolt Cutters winning Best Alternative Music Album. After its release last spring, Apple’s former third-grade teacher reconnected her with the real-life Shameika Stepney who had inspired the song. Stepney and Apple then collaborated on a new song, “Shameika Says.”
