Kandle has releasied Misty Morning, the third single/video from her forthcoming album – Set The Fire – out this spring. From being penned on a napkin while abroad, to a Vancouver studio alongside producer Michael Rendall, Misty Morning is a sonic journey that echoes with soulful vulnerability and an honest reflection of realizing true love. For the video, Kandle reconnects with director, Brandon William Fletcher (who was at the helm for her song, Honey Trap), to create classic 40s noir-inspired cine-magic, filmed along the Vancouver coastline and within the lush landscape of Stanley Park. I would love if you could check it out and consider a feature post upon its release next week.
The songs on Set The Fire draw from catharsis with an aim to replace fear and frustration with a strong sense of hope. If you’d like a further listen, a stream for Set The Fire is available upon request. After leaving her label and releasing her first ever independent EP, Stick Around and Find Out,Kandle closed out 2020 with a stunning award-nominated James Bond-inspired single/ video, Lock and Load. In March, she shared the album’s second single, Honey Trap, which arrived with a cinematically stunning noir film-inspired visual – read on in the press release here and I have included more on Kandle below.
More about Kandle:
Kandle’s mastery of music comes as no surprise, having collaborated with some of Canada’s finest songwriters, including Sam Roberts, Coeur de pirate, Peter Dremanis (July Talk) and Devon Portielje (Half Moon Run), in her impressive career to date — which also includes a Video of the Year JUNO nomination, a Prism Prize award for her Not Up To Me music video, and a Canadian Independent Video Award nomination for 2020 single, Lock and Load. Kandle also starred in Jack White’s 2018 video for Corporation, and her music was recently featured in Netflix’s, Tiny Pretty Things. Growing up in the music industry as the daughter of Canadian rock royalty Neil Osborne of 54-40 has provided Kandle’s artistry with a unique insight. She brings a seasoned performance to every line and every word, channeling over a decade of touring the globe into music that’s familiar yet undeniably her own.
With strong influences from the fierce female greats of a bygone era (Nancy Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Shirley Bassey, to name a few), Kandle writes and sings exclusively with her heart; something so often void in the modern era of overproduced perfection. She sings honest and raw, vulnerable yet empowered, never afraid to pen even life’s heaviest moments. This is an artist at her most empowered and authentic – an artist who by sharing her own story of healing, can help us all do the same.
