Singer-Songwriter Kandle discovered a true love for music listening to the likes of Nancy Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Shirley Bassey, to name just a few.  With such durable influences from a bygone era, Kandle writes and sings from an honest, raw, and vulnerable yet empowered perspective, never afraid to pen even life’s heaviest moments. Finally escaping the restrictions of unfavorable recording contracts, Kandle broke free from her label ties in March of 2020, finding herself in full control of her artistry.

Her journey started to pick up speed with last year’s EP titled, Stick Around and Find Out gaining traction. Her fourth studio record and first independent ‘ Set The Fire’, will be released in spring 2021.Kandle has long been known for her ability to transmute difficult feelings and situations into beautiful and tragic melodic stories. As a therapeutic outlet, music was always it for her. Yet here, Kandle exhibits a different kind of therapy and healing—a new, stronger way of wearing her heart on her sleeve.

The singer says, “This is the most empowered state I’ve ever been in. So much of my music has been very victimized—I’ve been through a lot. I was really dark and angry, and those were the songs I was writing,” she says. With Set The Fire, Kandle emerges from a new place of independence and power. “I’m trying to set the fire myself rather than be burned by it.”

Honey Trap is a great song. Beautifully produced, in places, it’s reminiscent of a classic James Bond cinematic feel that marries the right amount of pop sheen. Kandle’s vocals, with backing vocals by Louise Burns, Debra-Jean Creelman, and Kendel Carson compliment the vibrant melody and rock-infused instrumentation to form a memorable 2021 anthem.

She wrote “Honey Trap” in the euphoria of newfound freedom after having been trapped in a toxic and manipulative power struggle. One of the best ways she found to get through hard situations is to let loose in music and this is the product.
