Canadian powerhouse Kandle takes us on a deep and introspective sonic experience in her new single, “Live A Lie”, the first teaser of her forthcoming album to be released in spring 2024. Coming back bolder than ever, self-produced and in charge, this fearless chanteuse shows us once again that her cinematic, raw songwriting skills can’t be packaged up and put in one simple category. Bringing together a wide range of alt influences from the 90s that were part of her musical upbringing, from Portishead to PJ Harvey, “Live A Lie” is a hypnotic taste from Kandle’s new chapter.

The forthcoming album is a crescendo of all of her years immersed in music and an intimate knowledge of the “many ways this industry, this world can break one’s body and heart”, she explains. Arguably her strongest and heaviest release yet, the album is drenched with vulnerable and unwaveringly honest lyrics, paired with her sultry, haunting vocals. An ode to the darkness that surrounds us and the connections we find in it together.
