Indigo

Nashville’s very own honey-voiced soul-jazz siren, Kandace Springs, releases her eagerly awaited second album, Indigo via Blue Note Records. The album was produced by Karriem Riggins, a noted Detroit jazz drummer turned hip-hop producer whose credits range from Common, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West to Diana Krall and Paul McCartney. Musically, its scope is wider and it also features a greater percentage of self-written material. As well as Karriem Riggins, the album includes contributions from US songwriter Jesse Harris (who penned Talk To Me and Neither Old Nor Young on her first album), Rag’n’Bone Man songwriter / producer Jamie Hartman, and Amy Winehouse collaborator Jimmy Hogarth. Springs’ father, Scat Springs, also features on a touching duet called Simple Things. With its unique and personalised fusion of soul and jazz flavours seasoned with pop, hip-hop and even classical music, Indigo is undoubtedly Kandace Springs’ most ambitious and important musical statement yet.
