New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Nashville singer and pianist Kandace Springs just premiered her video for "Rain Falling" at Elle Magazine, who praised the song's "spacious, pared-back combination of a hop-skip-jump vocal line and keyboard."
Kandace is currently on a run of summer U.S. tour dates, including shows in Boston (The Sinclair, Aug. 1), New York (Le Poisson Rouge, Aug. 3), Philadelphia (South, Aug. 5-6), and Chicago (City Winery, Aug. 16). See below for a full list of dates.
Kandace's new album Soul Eyes was produced by Grammy-winner Larry Klein (Lizz Wright, Melody Gardot, Joni Mitchell, Herbie Hancock) and touches on soul and pop while channeling her jazz influences as well as her Nashville upbringing. The album�s eleven songs are a mix of Kandace�s originals and co-writes as well as the jazz classic �Soul Eyes� plus songs by Jesse Harris, Shelby Lynne, Evan Rogers and Carl Sturken, War, and others. Watch a behind-the-scenes video about the making of the album.
