A true music industry veteran, Kandle has been a powerhouse in the scene with an impressive career spanning over a decade. Following up on the recently released “Live A Lie,” she is now sharing “St. Paul’s,” the second single off her new album to be released in spring 2024. A hypnotic (and sexy) waltz through the corridors of pain and grief, “St. Paul’s” is catharsis in the face of despair.

I feel that the importance of making “dark” music lies in its relatability. Throughout my life I’ve connected with the words and melodies of artists like Nick Cave, Courtney Love, Nine Inch Nails, Leonard Cohen, Nirvana, PJ Harvey and Billie Holiday. These songs mirrored my own experiences of pain, misery and loneliness, and through that connection I was granted temporary comfort and self-acceptance, even if it only lasted the length of a song. I believe that much of the therapeutic and cathartic benefit of music is diminished when it’s over-explained. Rather it should be encouraged to project one’s own meaning onto a song and create one’s own connection. When lyrics resonate with you, it’s as if they can articulate every feeling you just can’t seem to find the words for. It is for that reason that I would rather say very little about this song.

With her newest album, Kandle aims to make you come and come apart. Weaving a thrum of trip-hop downbeats, brilliant, gut-wrenching lyrics, and her signature, sultry, haunting vocals, she casts spells that lure us off our solitary, mundane paths. She knows too well the darkness we all face, and with these songs she reaches out to all those who wish to be understood but feel they aren’t. Kandle can weave this magic so powerfully because she feels it too, she is out here in the darkness with us.
