Candace Woodson made a turnaround with her hit single "Midas Touch" in 2021 which we are told has received 50k downloads/streams. A Tom Moulton remix of it is included on her new album "Perfect" due for release next Friday 8 Aug
2022.
The album has been in production for a year by Candace, Nigel Lowis, Julian
Jonah, Gary Van Den Bussche and others and will also be available on
CD.
The title track "(Trying To Be) Perfect" is a cover of a Valerie Simpson 2012 album track from "Dinosaurs Are Coming Back Again" chosen by Gary and released as her last single which was a slow burner and became a real grower.
Other tracks include "She's Back" which has a funky "Like Sugar" groove, "Spread Love" has a Mary Mary gospel vibe. "Step To This Love Song" is a song for Candace's stepper fan base with "Better Days" being a smooth jazz song. When
interviewed on Gary's Starpoint Radio Show, Candace was asked about the man in her life, to which she responded that
she was still looking for "Mr Right" which is the title of a ballad on the album.
Julian Jonah, who has just had a hit with "Now's The Time For Us", co-wrote and produced the uptempo "Better Together". Another uptempo number, "Dancin'", has been given the thumbs up by BBC's John Leech with early demo plays. Finally, "Steal The Night" was paired with "(Trying to Be) Perfect" as a double (website only) single released
earlier this year.
With the variety of ballads, steppers, smooth jazz, dance tunes, a funky number and even a gospel inspired song there is something for everyone. I think my choice cut is the remix of "Midas Touch" on which Tom Moulton has done a fine job and on the funky "She's Back" Candace is heard in a new light.
Candace is about to tour the UK on the
Giants Of Soul
tour commencing on 4 Sep with many artists who were big in the 80s e.g. Rose Royce's Gwen Dickey, Deniece Williams, Alexander O'Neal and more.
