From the moment the Spector-esque drums sound and the impassioned vocal begins, ‘All I Need to Hear’, Candie Payne’s debut single, which received a vinyl-only release earlier this year, it’s impossible not taken captivated by the plight of the song’s central character. With a second small-scale single, the rousing ‘Take Me’, now in the bag, what can we expect next from Miss Payne?
“Well, the album is all done. We’ve mixed it, I’ve listened to it a few times at home, in the car and wherever, and I’m definitely happy with itThe reason for Candie’s happiness is that brother Sean, drummer in the aforementioned Liverpool-based quintet, asked little sis’ to warm-up for the band after watching her rehearse recently.
The reason for Candie’s happiness is that brother Sean, drummer in the aforementioned Liverpool-based quintet, asked little sis’ to warm-up for the band after watching her rehearse recently.“Getting big brother’s approval is a big deal,” she beams. “But rehearsals (with backing band The Joneses, of Edgar Jones fame) have gone really well so far. It’s going to sound brilliant.”
What does she mean, going to? It already does.
