Soul Eyes

Singer, songwriter and pianist Kandace Springs releases her debut full-length album 'Soul Eyes' on Blue Note Records. Produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein, the album touches upon soul and pop while channelling her jazz influences as well as her Nashville upbringing. Kandace counts such stylists as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack and Norah Jones as her heroes, but as evidenced by 'Soul Eyes', Springs mimics none of them. The eleven songs contained on 'Soul Eyes' are a mix of Kandace's originals and co-writes as well as the jazz classic 'Soul Eyes' and songs by Jesse Harris, Shelby Lynne, War, and others. The album features Kandace's playing piano alongside an illustrious cast of musicians that includes trumpeter Terence Blanchard, guitarists Dean Parks and Jesse Harris, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, organist Pete Kuzma, bassist Dan Lutz, percussionist Pete Korpela.
