Five Minutes With: Montreal Alt-Rock Singer Kandle Osborne

The upcoming album by Kandle Osborne, set to release in spring 2024, features “St. Paul’s” as its second single. A hypnotic -and sexy- waltz through the corridors of pain and grief, St. Paul’s is catharsis in the face of despair. Coming back bolder than ever, self-produced and in charge, this fearless chanteuse shows us once again that her cinematic, raw songwriting can’t be packaged up and put in one simple category. With a wide range of influences ranging from Portishead to PJ Harvey, “St Paul’s” is just a taste of the highly anticipated upcoming album from one of Canada’s finest songwriters.
