<p class="MsoNormal">Trailblazing Hip Hop songstress, <b>Kandace Springs</b>, has premiered a brand new track from her forthcoming self-titled EP called “<b>Forbidden Fruit</b>”.
<b><a href="bit.ly/1lwQS3V">PRESS HERE</a></b> to listen to the stripped back jazzy tune now. Kandace’s self-titled 4-song EP will be released on
<b>September 30, 2014</b> and she will make her television debut on <b>CBS’s <i>Late Show With David Letterman</i>
</b>on<b> October 3</b>. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kandace Springs sat down at the piano at Capitol Studios and sang an impassioned rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Stunned by her arrangement and performance,
<b>Don Was</b> (President, <b>Blue Note Records</b>) offered her a record deal on the spot, after hearing only one song. It was that same inherent soulfulness that originally caught the attention of
<b>Carl Sturken </b>and<b> Evan Rogers </b>at<b> SRP</b>, the production team that signed pop powerhouse
<b>Rihanna</b>. Kandace, who hails from Nashville, has since relocated to New York and is now working on her debut solo album to be released on
<b>Capitol/Blue Note Records </b>in<b> </b>Spring 2015.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">She is joined by co-executive producer Eli Wolf (Norah Jones) and a team of notable co-writers including her production team Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers of SRP (Rihanna), Pop & Oak (Alicia Keys), and Andre
Harris (Jill Scott). The record is influenced by a diverse array of Springs’ favorite artists ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to Lauryn Hill, and is sure to be an inventive tribute to fresh beats and old soul.<o:p></o:p></p>
