Harlem based singer extraordinaire Candice Hoyes has just shared her latest musical gem. Called "Far Away Star", the song is a Jazz classic given a modern spin with the help of Grammy-winner Ted Nash. The single is the first release of the year from this celebrated visionary.

With "Far Away Star", Candice Hoyes creates her own version of this Swedish traditional song. The famed singer was also inspired to create her own rendition after listening to the recording by Duke Ellington in 1978. The result is a dynamic listening experience complete with Candice Hoyes' breathtaking and emotive soprano singing original lyrics reflecting the modern day importance of Black ancestral history, justice and freedom. She sings, "Peace and justice / Far Away Star / In this land / Black people of the future / Spirit guide," showing this important narrative. Musically, the song also includes blazing horns, captivating rhythms and evocative jazzy instrumentation. Opera- inspired vocals singing heightened melodies add to the song's allure.

Candice Hoyes is a one-of-a-kind creator who is not only a solo artist but also a part of the famed experimental trio Nite Bjuti. Her music touches upon many important themes including black womanhood, sexual expression, reproductive freedom, black ancestral history, and more. Her recent performances include Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, La Petite Halle, Boisdale of Canary Wharf, Detroit Symphony, and Millenium Park, among others. Take a listen to "Far Away Star" now and get lost in the sound!
