In The Spotlight

Francis Aud – “Say It Loud”

This active New Yorker first picked up a guitar in high school and used his experiences with several heartbreaks to join a love for poetry and his music into songwriting. An university graduation later and he’s performing his music in renowned venues. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Al Green and Marvin Gaye as well as Allen Stone and Bruno Mars, he released his debut EP “Tender Things” in 2017.

Taken from his upcoming second EP “FONK”, which will be released in the Fall, his new single is a funkalicious feast of epic proportions. An invigorating rhythm and electro guitars drive this zesty jam beyond any speed limit, while picking up hitchhikers in the form of a vintage organ and exhilarating brass along the way. And with his funky, retro rapping vocals, this is a song that needs to be played loud!

In The Spotlight

Candace Woodson – “Never Let Go”

Kentucky-born, this inspirational artist discovered her singing voice at the age of 5, when she and her sisters had a gospel group. Wanting to cast her musical net further, she became the first graduate of the music program at Tennessee State University. Even though she survived cancer surgery in 2014, she continues to perform her empowering music, spanning gospel, pop, R&B and soul.

Taken from her debut album “Desire”, her new single is a velvety soul ballad in which 90s R&B meets classic soul. The easygoing percussion, smooth synths and mild strings shape a shimmering soundscape, perfect for when the sun goes down. With an infectious hook and her satiny, soul-steeped vocal artistry gently stroking your eardrums, this delightful tune is a slow-dance you never want to let go of.
