CANDICE NIGHT, who has been delighting audiences around the world for over 15 years as the vocalist for the Renaissance-themed band BLACKMORE'S NIGHT, has released her debut solo album, Reflections. The new CD, comprising original material written by the multi-talented songwriter and instrumentalist, is available from UDR Records, distributed in the US by EMI.

Often compared to the vocal prowess of STEVIE NICKS and the haunting sensitivity of KAREN CARPENTER, Night's talents transcend boundaries on Reflections. The ethereal vocal delivery that has become a trademark with Blackmore's Night is still prevalent on Reflections, but the music has a more contemporary feel. Lifelong influences of folk, pop and country music are evident throughout, especially in catchy, radio friendly numbers like 'Gone Gone Gone' and the lively dance of the electronic 'Dangerous Smile', exploring territory that is bound to be untouched by Blackmore's Night.

"I am always getting new ideas," says Candice Night. "When I had my two babies, I thought it would be difficult finding the time, but my children are so inspirational to me that the lyrics and music continuously flow. I am constantly inspired by nature, the magic and beauty of things that are around us all the time but many don't even see."

Ritchie Blackmore was uninvolved in Reflections, giving Candice Night the space to indulge in her own creativity. However, her husband will always be an inspiration to her. "He has taught me so much," she explains.

Reflections is available on CD and digital download.
