Kandace Springs - Millennium Stage (January 8, 2017)

Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and pianist Kandace Springs counts such song stylists as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, and Norah Jones as her heroes. Her debut album, Soul Eyes, was lauded by Billboard as a “winning fusion of jazz and soul.”

I've been a Fan of Kandace Springs for just about 3 yr's now, since I first saw her on Daryl's Halls show Live at Daryl's House, I taped it on the DVR, watch it as many times that I can. Just ordered her new Album on Amazon and can't wait to hear the whole thing.

[@ruimarquespinto7242]

[@robindunford]

Saw Kandace at Cheltenham today, and she was just amazing.

[@stevemartin4249]

Aw man ... starting the show with my favorite from her 'Soul Eyes' album, 'Novocaine Heart' !!! I must admit though, despite actually seeing Kandace perform this live, I like the more uptempo studio cut a bit better. The following is something I just wrote on the KZbin version of her studio cut of that song ... I First heard this as background music at a little Italian restaurant in the mountains west of Tokyo, July 2017. Could not for the life of me identify the singer, so I asked the waitress, and she showed me the CD 'Soul Eyes', turning me on to this fresh, new voice. Returning to Tokyo, got the Japanese package of the CD because though it is more expensive, it contains bonus tracks. It is GOOD, and getting better with each listen ... sometimes sounding a bit like Sade, sometimes Norah Jones, and sometimes more like Tina Turner. First heard the whole CD a few weeks later in my van, taking the Chuo Expressway to return to those mountains on a late, rainy Friday evening, I was lulled by her soulful, sultry style ... until I heard this track. Something popped in me. I found my foot putting the pedal to the metal with that rhythm and catchy hook. Hit the repeat button and started getting into the lyrics. Damn, this earworm jumped into my head and I can't get it out. Don't want to. It is now my go-to track for driving in the summer of 2017. As Royal George pointed out in sub-comments below, this song in particular was Prince's favorite ... verified here ... www.billboard.com/articles/news/7416564/kandace-springs-forward-with-soul-eyes-album-debut-blue-note I also found a version on Spotify, the Paul O'Duffy remix ... and thought it was waaay overproduced. I agree with Prince ... keep it simple and keep Kandace up in front of the mix. I'm not sure if it's the bass line or the rhythm, but I am reminded of Joe Jackson's 'Steppin Out' kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2nOqWuLnN15eKs. But Kandace is cooler still. The sparse arrangement (unlike the O'Duffy remix), her first vocal chorus jumping in just a tad sooner than expected, and those subtle, chugging jabs on the Fender Rhodes add just the right amount of funk to run this smooth-churning motor. Now figuring out how to apply those chords to my modest nylon string guitar chops - may have to either drop down a key or go falsetto with the vocals, but hey, it's just personal therapy. I think this is something that would perfectly fit Jake Reichbart's chord-melody style and spot-on, back-beat rhythm www.jakereichbart.com/. The Discogs review compared it to 80's crossover and mentioned Judy Roberts as having a similar sound. Yeah, I can go with that. In the Japanese liner notes, Grammy winning producer Larry Klein wrote a bit about how Prince 'discovered' her, but I was blown away to find Larry explaining that Prince's favorite musician was Joni Mitchell. Verified it here ... ew.com/article/2015/09/15/prince-10-favorite-artists/. And like Joni Mitchell, and more than a few other musicians, Kandace has always been drawn tightly to the visual arts as well. Maybe there's something about right-brain dominance at work here. Yup. Creative genius transcends genre and domain.

[@JonathanCender]

Thanks for the info on Joni being Prince's favorite. Intriguing to say the least.

[@kaboji8013]

Got2bharmony, Thanks for the reply! Because Kandace is also a human being, it is sometimes sick. But she is a precious singer. I am a little worried.

[@mutluatacan]

🙏🙏🙏

[@kaboji8013]

I am her fan! Thank you for valuable footage! But I feel her voice is a bit different from usual. Did she catch a cold?

[@got2bharmony]

kabosu oyaji I think you're correct. Kandace is clearly struggling to deliver her usual stellar vocals here, don't know if she let the audience know that she wasn't feeling great, I've seen her live twice and her normal voice is flawless.

[@kaboji8013]

got2bharmony ！ Thank you for your reply. She sang the concert in Tokyo in March in a wonderful voice. I was relieved. (^ - ^)
