We were able to get exactly the sound that I'd heard in my head for so many years.
Candice Night, on 'Reflections'
For an artist with such a long career, it’s unusual that Candice Night is just now putting out her first true solo album. Titled Reflections, it is a collection of songs that are very close to Night’s heart. Some are new, and many have been kicking around in her head for years. Best known as the lead singer in Blackmore’s Night (and wife of rock legend Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple), Night is excited to present her solo material and give fans a glimpse into her own private world.
We sat down recently with Night to discuss the songs on Reflections and to gain insight into the mysterious musical world she inhabits.
