Kandace Springs | Indigo
Blue Note
According to Patrick Corcoran: “Springs has served up her sophomore album Indigo mainly under the guidance and production of Karriem Riggins. He proves a canny choice to work with as he unsurprisingly weaves a spell of richly organic textures, alongside a willingness to add hints of more insistent digital beats where he sees fit.
Throughout the album though, there is no chance of anything overshadowing the main attraction: Springs’ effortless vocals. Whether it’s a trip into soul territory, a sojourn into pop or a straight up jazz ballad, the crystalline qualities of her voice ring loud and clear with absolute conviction. She is a vocal force to be reckoned with.
The real star of the show here is Springs’ voice—it is a delight at all turns. It soothes to the very core and navigates its way through the stylistic variations that lie scattered across the album. And that is, in itself, another great strength. By shifting slightly from style to style, Springs allows a cohesive character to shine through, and it is a winning and engaging character.
No longer just one to watch, Kandace Springs is now one to rely on.”
