UNIVERSAL MUSIC FRANCE NEWS ARTISTS PLAYLISTS CLIPS LYRICS EXCLUSIVES SHOPS REDISCOVER EVERYTHING ABOUT KANDACE SPRINGS “SoulEyes”, Kandace Springs' debut album on Blue Note From time to time, we have the chance to witness the appearance of a singer who has perfectly assimilated the lessons of his predecessors without his profound originality suffering, of a musician managing to pay homage to the heritage musical which was bequeathed to him without becoming its slave. Kandace Springs is one of these exceptional artists. If this 27-year-old singer, pianist and songwriter based in Nashville clearly claims the influence of artists like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack or Norah Jones, “Soul Eyes”, her first album on Blue Note Records, by no means comes down to a simple imitation. This journey did not happen overnight. Produced by Pop & Oak (Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Miguel), his first EP, the eponymous “Kandace Springs”, released in 2014, was very clearly oriented R & B / hip-hop. If this first attempt gave him great success, Kandace Springs could not shake the impression that he did not perfectly reflect his true personality. After having discussed it at length with her producers Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, the singer then decided to take another direction. During this period of deep questioning, Kandace Springs caught Prince's attention. “Soul Eyes” sounds exactly the way she wanted it to. Continuing to deepen her art as a singer and songwriter, Kandace Springs is, without a shadow of a doubt, destined to capsize many hearts.
