Kandace Springs demonstrates her range and flexibility on this three song ep. She harkens to vintage soul ballads, holding her notes for emotional impact on a floating “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” with soft piano accompaniment, while she gets exotic and folksy with tropical sounds on the title track. A more funky and synthesized jazz pulse sizzles on a hip and wide wale chord feel of “People Make the World Go Round” with Springs sounding earthy and confident. I don’t care which one shows up on stage, I wanna hear this lady in concert!
