Kandace Springs

Every so often a new singer emerges who��s able to assimilate multiple musical touchstones and still come off sounding remarkably fresh and unburdened by the past. Kandace Springs is one of those artists. The 27-year-old, Nashville-based singer, songwriter and pianist counts such stylists as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack and Norah Jones as her heroes, but as evidenced by her sparkling full-length Blue Note Records debut, Soul Eyes, Springs mimics none of them. Instead Springs allows her comely alto to become a conduit that touches upon soul, jazz and pop while transforming those aforementioned influences into a personalized sound that reveals itself effortlessly

Recorded in collaboration with Portugal's Orquestra Cl��ssica de Espinho, this reimagined take on Lady Day's 1958 orchestral masterpiece shines with sumptuous beauty and reverence while bearing Springs' delicate emotional imprint.
