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.

In The Spotlight

Brittany Howard – “Stay High”

As the frontwoman and guitarist for the four-time Grammy-winning band Alabama Shakes, this Nashville-based singer and songwriter has performed at Obama’s White House and duetted with legend Paul McCartney at Lollapalooza. However, she’s written many songs outside of the realm of the band and decided to assemble some innovative musicians and record them as a solo project.

This taster from her upcoming debut album “Jaime”, which will drop on September 20, is a buttery-smooth, Motown inspired soul stunner. With a stripped-back, organic instrumentation of a gentle bass, mellow percussion and cheeky bells, she uses her impassioned, vintage-dipped vocals to emphasize the importance of embracing simple joys after a long day’s work and molds a luscious soul gem.
