Summary
Amazing things can happen through the power of womanifestation (and gayguyifestation). Fresh off her incredible turn on “The Traitors” and new single “If Only...” is the Wordsmith herself, CANDIACE. Go ahead and make some Deep Space (stream now) for a conversation about taking shots of progesterone on a plane during turbulence, music video budgets, musical influences and the legends in the 6-CD home stereo. I was told somebody was told this is a perfect episode… minus a few corrections Bowen had to make mid-episode via post-recording. Be on the lookout for the IMPENDING classic from the one and only C.D.B!
