In a fearless return, Canadian singer-songwriter Kandle emerges bolder and more self-assured than ever with her latest self-produced single, “Live A Lie.” A preview of her highly anticipated album slated for a spring 2024 release, the track showcases Kandle’s signature cinematic and raw songwriting that defies simple categorisation.
“Live A Lie” explores the complex narrative of the unattainable dream, contemplating the toll our chaotic timelines take on the pursuit of an enjoyable life. Kandle’s lyrics reflect the societal burnout and the questioning of traditional structures that seem to offer diminishing returns. The single raises provocative questions about the price we pay for adhering to a model that no longer functions.
Adding a unique twist to the release, Kandle presents a music video styled as an episode of “The X-Files.” The cinematic homage is not only a nod to the iconic series but injects welcome levity into the thematic weight of the song. Featuring epic performance pieces and an unexpected dose of dance, the video complements the song’s exploration of living a lie and the relentless quest for truth.
Kandle’s journey in the music industry spans over a decade, solidifying her status as a true veteran. And “Live A Lie” is a showcase into what promises to be one of her most powerful albums to date. Her upcoming release captures the vulnerability and unwavering honesty that defines her body of work.
“Live A Lie” not only reaffirms Kandle’s position as one of Canada’s finest songwriters but sets the stage for an album that promises to be a resonant and impactful addition to her impressive discography.
