In the world of digitalized everything, soul singer Kandace Springs is drawn to music that is “stripped bare” and natural.
“It’s kind of a crossover between jazz and soul. It’s really organic, all live instruments,” the Nashville, Tennessee native said of her music when she met with The Korea Herald in southern Seoul last Monday. Springs was in town to perform at the Audi Lounge stage at Club Octagon that night.
Springs debuted in 2014 with a self-titled EP that had a contemporary, hip-hop bent to it. Her new album “Soul Eyes,” the artist’s first full-length LP set for release on July 1, is soft, piano-based and closer to the kind of music she has “always wanted to make.”
“Voice-wise, I’m not a screamer type,” she said. “I’ve never been that type of singer. ... I’m more of a quiet storm, I guess you could say.
“Norah Jones is my idol,” Springs added, referring to the American jazz pop singer. Like Jones, Springs boasts breathy but passionate vocals that fill the gaps between sparse instrumentals.
Springs is an avid admirer of old-time soul artists such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. The main track of her album, also titled “Soul Eyes,” is a remake of jazz saxophonist John Coltrane’s song. Four of the 11 tracks listed -- “Novocaine Heart,” “Fall Guy,” “Rain Falling” and “Too Good to Last” -- are written by Springs herself.
