Hit for 2008? Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Candie Payne
Once upon a time, Shiny Media (who own the ass of this website) had a site called PopJunkie. Around two years ago, I interviewed the Queen of Pop Noir, Candie Payne. Now Candie, stunning and soulful, was doing the sixties torch beat when Winehouse was still pissing about with R’n'B. Sadly, Amy writ large and Candie stayed in the margin. However, with a Mark Ronson friendship and a fistful of dynamite singles, 2008 should see Candie getting a wider recognition. In fact, I’ll stick my neck out and say that Candie is going to be the next big star at the expense of the overrated Duffy. [video DeltasonicRecords]
