"Having gained a foothold on fame performing in one style, it takes nerve to say "this isn't me" and follow a completely new direction. Yet this is what the American singer Kandace Springs has done. So the R&B and hip-hop influences that won her US talk-show slots, festival bookings and even a call to Paisley Park to jam with Prince have on this album been jettisoned for jazz. Sure, the pop stylings are still there, but what a bold move - and how it has paid off".

"Acoustic move shows a rare ability: With a move to Blue Note, a simple acoustic-jazz format, the guiding hand of Madeleine Peyroux and Melody Gardot producer Larry Klein, the 27-year-old Nashville singer-pianist Kandace Springs - a buzz on the wires since 2014 as a soul and R&B-inflected artist, who counted Prince among her fans - is taking a career turn".
