Style

Payne sings 60s-inspired pop. Soul singers Minnie Riperton and Roberta Flack are among her influences. Her pet hate is 'over-singing'."¹

Liverpudlian icon

In November 2007 the Times Magazine looked ahead to Liverpool's year as the European City of Culture in 2008 by featuring Payne on its cover alongside Liverpuddlian singer Cilla Black and Abi Harding of the Zutons, who was engaged to Payne's brother Sean - "How Liverpoool got its mojo back". The Times noted that, during a photo-shoot that involved a number of other musicians, Cilla Black reflected nostalgically on the 1960s, while Payne and Harding enthused about the variety of contemporary venues in the city ².

Some fashion writers reflected on Payne's and Harding's influence on Liverpool's "underground band scene", drawing a contrast with the "brassier" style of local WAGs such as Alex Curran and Coleen McLoughlin (partners of footballers Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney). Sunday Times Style remarked early in 2008 that the fashionable Korova bar in the city's Fleet Street "is so cool, you can sense Liverpool evolving from a city full of in-your-face show-offs into something far more knowing":

The girls here are different from their brassier neighbours. Yet, if they're indie, they're still a glossy version. Peroxide bobs, red lipstick, polka-dot shirts, good heels ... They are inspired by local success storie such as Abby [sic] from the Zutons and Candie Payne - and united in their dislike of Curran and co ... "Lots of girls think she [Curran] is it, but it's a pretty sad life to be 25 and only go shopping" ³.

Although Candie's relationship status is unknown she has been linked with Zutons front man Dave McCabe and is widely believed to be romantically involved with producer Mark Ronson with whom she is collaborating on her second album.
