Kandace Springs

From the beginning of Kandace Springs' new album - as those warm, hand-plucked bass notes fill the air - you know you've arrived at something different. While 2018's Indigo found the Nashville singer-pianist bends into new genre forms, The Women Who Raised Me adheres sonically to jazz while Springs travels across a century of music, covering the women who inspired her while she was growing up, putting her own spin on songs associated with a dozen of the greatest female vocalists of all-time. Tracklist: 1 Devil May Care (inspired by Diana Krall) Feat. Christian McBride 2 Angel Eyes (inspired by Ella Fitzgerald) Feat. Norah Jones 3 I Put A Spell On You (inspired by Nina Simone) Feat. David Sanborn 4 Pearls (inspired by Sade) Featuring Avishai Cohen 5 Ex-Factor (inspired by Lauryn Hill) Feat. Elena Pinderhughes 6 I Can't Make You Love Me (inspired by Bonnie Raitt) Feat. Avishai Cohen 7 Gentle Rain (inspired by Astrud Gilberto) Feat. Chris Potter 8 Solitude (inspired by Carmen McRae) Feat. Chris Potter 9 The Nearness of You (inspired by Norah Jones) 10 What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life (inspired by Dusty Springfield) 11 Killing Me Softly With His Song (inspired by Roberta Flack) Feat. Elena Pinderhughes 12 Strange Fruit (inspired by Billie Holiday)
