Kandace Springs sat down at the piano at Capitol Studios and sang an impassioned rendition of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Stunned by her arrangement and performance, Blue Note Records President Don Was offered her a record deal on the spot, after hearing only one song. The legendary artist Prince heard her cover of the Sam Smith song “Stay With Me” online and asked her to perform at Paisley Park on the weekend celebrating the 30 year anniversary of Purple Rain. It was that same inherent soulfulness that had originally caught the attention of Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers at SRP, the production team that discovered and signed pop powerhouse Rihanna.

Kandace Springs – Meet Me In The Sky Lyrics:
Yeah! Ooh oh oh. Could it be real? Maybe it’s not
I know when I’ll find
Is it all in my head? Or in my heart?
Before we move on, I’m tied out
Tell me what you’re doing to me
You say you want it all, oh baby I wanna see
I-I-I’m ready as I’ll ever be,
And I’ll give you the key if you make me believe
Meet me in the SKY, keep me flying so HIGH
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Something ’bout you make me wanna love you, wanna love you
Make me wanna give you all my love
Baby it’s my love I wanna give you, wanna give you
Maybe I should give you all my love
I’m making my mind, show me a sign
Say that I’m yours today, tonight
If I tell you the truth don’t take it like
You make me inside
Tell me what you’re doing to me
You say you want it all, oh baby I wanna see
I-I-I’m ready as I’ll ever be,
And I’ll give you the key if you make me believe, yeah!
Meet me in the SKY, keep me flying so HIGH
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Listen to my HEART, it got something I wanna tell you
You’re my everything I wanna give you something special
Listen to my HEART, it got something I wanna tell you
You’re my everything I wanna give you something special
Meet me in the SKY, keep me flying so HIGH!!
Meet me in the SKY, keep me flying so HIGH
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Don’t let me FALL DOWN, make me FALL IN LOVE
Something ’bout you make me wanna love you, wanna love you
Make me wanna give you all my love
Baby it’s my love I wanna give you, wanna give you
Maybe I should give you all my love
