If you are into late sixties/early seventies John Barry kind of soundtracks then you are going to love the sounds of Candie Payne. At the age of 4 she found herself in New York after having spent her first years in Liverpool. She finally returned to her hometown in the early nineties where she is now based and produces her retro-inspired music.

This is her debut single which can also be found on her upcoming debut album I Wish I Could Have Loved You More released March 26. It will be out on the Liverpool-based Deltasonic label that also have The Coral, The Little Flames, The Zutons and The Dead 60’s in their stable. The label was founded by Alan Wills who has been taking care of the drums in Shack and Top. The album is done together with songwriter/producer Simon Dine (Noonday Underground, Adventures In Stereo) who has also worked with Paul Weller. More on Simon Dine in another post.

Trivia: Brother Howie Payne used to front The Stands that are unfortunately no longer together. Other brother Sean Payne is drumming for The Zutons. Musical lot, that family, eh?
