Dulfer to Release 'Right in My Soul' May 20th April
11, 2003 - After a busy year of touring with Prince Dutch saxophonist sensation,
Candy Dulfer is set to release 'Right in My Soul' on Eagle Records May 20th. With
the Prince connection Dulfer was able to jam with the likes of Alicia Keys, Sheila
E., George Clinton and Musiq Soulchild. This new CD should push the boundaries
a bit more according to Dulfer who was given total creative control on the project.
Word is it'll be a little more funky and fun and should also incorporate the many
styles that make up most Candy Dulfer CDs R&B, Jazz and Ambient sounds as
well as her wonderful lead vocals on some tracks. This will be Candy's first studio
album in four years.
