If ever an album that deserved your undivided attention, it would be Kandace Springs’ third Blue Note Records output The Women Who Raised Me.
Released two years after her Indigo LP, this charming album helmed by Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein, tributes some of the phenomenal women in the world of pop, jazz, blues, R&B, and hip-hop that Springs idolized.
From Lauryn Hill and Bonnie Raitt to Sade and Nina Simone, Springs does an exquisite job channeling the energy of these influential women of music while maintaining the essence of her own vocal prowess.
Aside from Klein, Springs also enlists a fine list of other collaborators and musicians including the esteemed Norah Jones, Chris Potter, Avishai Cohen, and Elena Pinderhughes.
Springs attached a moving 18-minute documentary to the sterling collection that gives a deep dive at why she chose to celebrate these breathtaking female greats. Watch it here.
