Kandace Springs – A Voice That Could Melt Snow

Kandace Springs brings soulful jazz with a warm voice and piano playing, featuring music from Soul Eyes, The Women Who Raised Me and Run Your Race. Inspired by Nina Simone and discovered by Prince, she combines her own work with carefully selected covers. Born in Nashville, Kandace Springs is known for her warm voice and melodic piano playing, and is often compared to greats such as Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. Prince once called her 'a voice that could melt snow' and became an early mentor after discovering her online and inviting her to perform together at Paisley Park. At deSingel, Springs brings a selection from her rich repertoire, featuring work from acclaimed albums such as Soul Eyes and The Women Who Raised Me, both released on the legendary Blue Note label. With her recent album Run Your Race - a personal tribute to her deceased father - she establishes herself emphatically as a songwriter and composer. Where she previously mainly performed standards, she today combines her own work with carefully selected covers. For Springs, music is a form of visual expression: each piece develops into a sonic portrait, in which she continues to search for new perspectives and unexpected nuances.
