Kandace Springs

Since the release of her debut album “Soul Eyes” on Blue Note Records in 2016, Kandace Springs has solidified her position as one of the premiere jazz/soul singers of our time. Described as having “a voice that could melt snow” by her late mentor Prince, the Nashville native has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments, from national TV appearances, headlining major jazz festivals, and collaborations with such luminaries as Christian McBride, Roy Hargrove, David Sanborn and Norah Jones. The Washington Post exclaims, “Kandace Springs’s voice is undeniable. It’s one of those generational voices; from the first note, you know it’s special.” She embodies the same spirit and soul of the great vocalists of the past on whose shoulders she stands, from classic jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae, to multi-genre masters such as Nina Simone and Roberta Flack.

Now Kandace is ready to embark on her most ambitious tribute yet, with the 2025 album release and accompanying tour of Lady In Satin, her recreation of Billie Holiday’s iconic, last great album. Ms. Holiday recorded it in 1958 with a full symphony orchestra, giving many of her signature songs such as “You’ve Changed” and “For All We Know” a new level of lushness.  Kandace has lovingly reinvented and reimagined the album in its entirety. “I wanted to bring back the beautiful sound of that era,” she says. “Doing all these amazing songs, and being able to pay tribute to my idol Billie Holiday, is maybe the greatest experience I’ve ever had in music”.
