Candie Payne


In 2006, following five years of writing, recording, singing and touring, Liverpool's Candie Payne was still having trouble finding a manager: 'No one was interested because it was still all about finding the new Arctic Monkeys.' Now, with a relatively successful album, I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, under her belt and a new Mark Ronson-produced single slated for October, things are looking up. 'People have started listening ,' she says with exaggerated disbelief. 'Finally!'

She insists on 'a clean sound', has banned backing vocals and says her pet hate is 'over-singing'. She is inspired by Sixties soul singers who 'sing straight', like Minnie Riperton and Roberta Flack. Payne is wary of over-glossing her image, which she carefully balances between 'pop' (perfect hair and nails) and 'noir' (she jauntily sports a trilby).

Her brothers are both players on the indie music scene. Sean is the drummer for the Zutons and Howie is the former lead-man of Liverpool band the Stands. She had always planned to be an illustrator but, feeling lost at art college, began to sing with her then boyfriend's band, Tramp Attack. She then met Simon Dine, who now writes her music: 'I only started writing lyrics so that I'd have some words to sing.' ES

Donnie - The Daily News

I am addicted to this album. An instant classic.




'Four years ago, Donnie’s The Colored Section was the most provocative soul-fueled social commentary since the days when Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Donny Hathaway routinely offered biting analyses of current events. These days, the real daily news continues to give him plenty to talk about, which he does with wit and insight. It’s nice to be reminded that there is more to R&B than preening and pickup lines.'

'
No news topic is too taboo on The Daily News, the remarkable follow-up to Donnie’s debut, The Colored Section (2002). A dry-eyed realism shapes this material. Though Donnie’s observations are as sharp and disturbing as the barbed wire pictured in the accompanying booklet, he makes listening to the not-so-good news palatable.'
