Prince once said that Kandace Springs "has a voice that could melt snow." The music icon heard her cover of Sam Smith's "
Stay With Me" online and invited her to perform with him at Paisley Park for the 30th anniversary of Purple Rain, becoming a mentor to the young singer and pianist. Another legend, Daryl Hall, also discovered Kandace early on, inviting her to perform on his TV show Live from Daryl's House.
Kandace's 2014 self-titled EP turned even more heads and led to performances on Letterman, Kimmel and Fallon, as well as the Afropunk and Bonnaroo festivals. Okayplayer called her as "a vocal force to be reckoned with" and Afropunk dubbed her "a versatile and vital artist."
Kandace's 2016 debut album Soul Eyes presented an already remarkably mature artistic voice with an album that touched upon soul and pop while channeling her jazz influences as well as her Nashville upbringing. MOJO marveled at the album's "sensuous vocals with minimalist yet elegant arrangements" while The Guardian raved that "she has a rare ability that can't be taught - to sound like an old soul, just doing what comes naturally."
