LA based South African singer/songstress beauty, Candice Pillay shares her new EP, The High, out on KIDinaKORNER/Interscope.

Before hearing Candice Pillay's standout vocals on "Genocide" and "Medicine Man" from Dr. Dre's Compton album, she was most known for her writing behind Rihanna's "Cockiness" and "American Oxygen". Taking her influences of African and Indian drums and love of 808s, she's put together an amazing five song EP called The High that makes you think Ciara mixed with Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak, but then again like nothing you've heard before.

My personal favorites, "Drinking of You" and "Lies" are on repeat. Listen for yourself on YouTube and Spotify. The High is also available on iTunes. Keep an eye out for this rising star.
