Candace Devine in the Style of Soul

Candace Devine joins MyStrands with a fusion of Soul, R&B and Rock. Devine has a soulful and sexy style. Her vocals are reminicent of Bonnie Raitt with a gospel backup.

Check out some of my favorites on the album "Believe":
• Believe
• Don't Save Your Love

On her website, Candace Devine compares herself to Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin. The comparison is only valid if you see Devine in a live performance –where her energy is undiluted. Recorded, Devine’s style is more romantic, and less angry and soulful. (Both Tina and Aretha had a lot to be angry about – and they let you know it!) I really wanted to hear Devine scream into the microphone… and then I got my wish after hearing her live recording of “Drown In My Own Tears.” It was obviously a good night, and the crowd was rowdy – as was Devine’s vocals.



If you want to catch a live show, Devine can be seen occasionally at legendary Los Angeles clubs such as The Roxy, The Whisky, The Knitting Factory, The Derby, The Temple Bar and The Gig. Check out her website for upcoming appearances.
