A few weeks ago, one of my chatroom mods told me she had been contacted by a artist on Myspace named Candace Charee. Candace had recently recorded a new song inspired by Twilight, and since I really enjoy other Twilight-inspired groups like the Bella Cullen Project and Mitch Hansen, I went to check out this new one. I was amazed by the vocal prowess and awesome production of what I heard!
With over 18,000 plays on her Myspace already, Candace Charee recently finished recording her first song The Smell Of Your Skin All Over My Body — inspired by Twilight, and written right after Candace finished reading Eclipse! Click below to hear a preview or visit her Myspace page to hear the full thing!
[audio:https://twilightguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/candacecharee.mp3]I will be featuring more music from other Twilight-inspired groups and bands on myΒ site soon!
For the comments: What do you think of Candace’s song? Also, any suggestions for other Twilight-inspired groups I should try to get on the site?
Do you have a Twilight-inspired band? Send in your info on this page.

Woohoo First comment!!! I really like it. Her voice is amazing. I think she really captures the intensity of Twilight in her music. I give it 4 out of 5 stars!
she has a very good voice… but it’s not really my type of music. kinda reminds me of mariah carey. the Bella Cullen Project and Mitch Hansen are the only twilight inspired bands i’ve heard of so far… i LOVE Mitch Hansen!
I agree with Hanna D that Candace has a very good voice but not really my type of music. Though the song does seem to capture the intensity of Twilight it was a very good song.
Now it looks like all I did is copy the two comments abouve me great.
Check out Tara Louise on myspace (www.myspace.com/taralovesmusic). She has two Twilight-inspired songs, Oh Romeo and Twilight
I think it’s a good song, but not something that captures the audience as much as something from… Muse =]. She has an amazing voice, and if she can advertise it the right way she has a good chance of getting it big. Overall, great work
Hey guys!
thanks for your kind words π i appreciate all the comments even if your aren’t a fan π cant please em all right? lol
hugs
candace
I don’t like the song. Too much what I call ‘haggling’. I can’t listen to songs where artists don’t keep straight vibratos, but exude these short gusts of interrupted staccato. The Mariah Carey effect indeed, as Hannah D said (post #2). It was very popular in the late 90’s. I was hoping we’d keep it there. I can’t stand it !
Sorry, Candace. Don’t mean to be rude.
its good. try bella cullen project too because they ROCK! lol
my opinion is this: great voice, great words, too much pop. but its still got two good things for it.
most twihards are just into alternative-type music, and sadly wont accept other styles just because they arent Muse. But that does not make it bad. Candace has a great voice and heartfelt lyrics. Thats the big parts of a good song, because if the lyrics were silly then i would not be able to stand it.
good work candace π
I have to disagree with the whole “Mariah Carey” label, and I think that anyone who has listened to Mariah Carey’s old stuff recently would agree…There is no head voice business, no whistle register, no seemingly endless runs that leave you wondering what the song was about in the first place, I actually went to her MySpace and heard the whole thing, I thought it was passionate, heartfelt AND unique. It may dangle precariously on the edge of pop but I think just enough to make it more appealing to a larger audience. Mark my words this girl will go far if she stickes with it..
i thought the her voice was ok.
But the Music was horrible.
sorry.
I have never heard of Candace! But she has a really good voice. I agree w/chel, maybe shorten the title? But the voice is graet! <3
Love it! I love her voice. It is so great; there is some pop to it that doesn’t usually go with Twilight, but the voice and lyrics are great!
wow people, it isn’t really that bad.
she has an awesome voice. The title of the song is a bit long (maybe shorten it to The Smell Of Your Skin?) but it’s still a good one.
Keep it up Candace!
another thing, just because it isn’t as alternative as the other twilight bands doesn’t mean it isn’t good. some people intpret things in diffrent ways. i actually think its catchy in a way (:
awesome.
can’t wait for another Eclipse chapter Kaleb!!!!
Not really my type of music, but she has a great voice. Then again, I have kinda bizarre tastes in music. π
Good job, Candace!
I actually love it! I would like to add it to my eclectic music collection. Can I download/buy this song somewhere?
The lyrics kinda made me laugh.
I mean… ‘It’s the feel of your tongue on my soul’?
Am I the only one that kinda had a giggly WTH moment?
Good voice though, as far as voices go.
If you listen to the whole song you will realize this is a rock balad…not mariah carey style. Ive never heard her do heavy guitar and drums on a song but maybe im wrong. It is an alternative soul song. Even evenescence sings with soul. I am not a guy and cannot sing like muse lol its a love song how crazy rock should it be? To L yes you can downlod the song..go to my myspace page at http://www.myspace.com/candacewilsonmusic to see how to download it. ITs from beatlocker.com Thanks everyone for your opinions..i really do appreciate them π
candace
haha its The Feel Of your TOUCH on my soul not tongue ahahahahahah thats soo funny!
Well, that Mariah is never supported by guitar and drums is an arrangement discussion, not vocal usage. My comment was purely on vocal usage. Indeed, have never heard Mariah perform a rock balad, might actually be an improvement.
Arrangments for this song is not bad, just nothing I get confuzzled about, but that’s personal.
Well i am sorry that you hate mariah carey lol i guess shes not all that bad since she is the number 1 female selling artist of all time π i did not try to imulate her in any way. In fact ive been told they way i sang the song had a country feel to it. Which again wasnt intentional. Whats great about this is that you dont have to like it and i dont have to like the type of music that you love. Isn’t America Great! lol
thanks
candace
I agree. Nice voice, not my thing though.
My recommendation would have to be Tara Louise.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnG-WBSCYTk
Because she has a great voice, and fabulous lyrics.
Tara louise is great! She is way more mariah carey than me though π She has awesome runs and a beautiful tone
Girl can sing, I’ll give her that. Nice job. Not my favorite, but very good.
Finally, a Book-inspired song that is a real song, rather than just rambling about the book set to music. If this Twilight-band thing doesn’t work out, she could have a future in country music, I could tell that from the first note. Kinda LeAnne Rimes -ish
Candace! You already know my opinion! You’re amazing!
^_^
wow, great voice! I think it’s a good song.
Mitch Hansen is still my favorite Twilight inspired band though. sorry Candace, nothing personal π
Tara Louise and nicole2511 on YouTube.
I think someone already gave you Tara Louise’s link, so here’s Nicole’s: http://uk.youtube.com/user/nicole2511
i’m sorry, but i didn’t like it…at all
Loved the song, but I have something to point out –
You need to change the bar-thing at the top of your site ’cause you are a massive big twi-hard, twi-guy AND twilighter, and you have to accept it.
Who’s with me?
I’m glad you can take critique, Candace.
I don’t hate Mariah though, I don’t even know her. We do apparently have a different opinion on technique and as you point out, she’s doing well without me as a fan, so no harm done.
Keep in mind though, that not everyone is in America, but luckily the rest of the world also has freedom of opinion π
If you guys think my song doesnt match twilight just watch my youtube video and see if that helps put it into perspective a little π
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Lk2zqmQPs Thank you to those who have had something nice to say
Is it just me or is it getting a bit frosty in here?
Candace – well done with the song. I like it and think you’ve done a great job. π I don’t think anyone said it doesn’t match Twilight – its just that some people like the song, and some didn’t!!
Kaleb’s question was whether we liked the song or not – honest opinions will be given. But they are just opinions, not personal attacks.
Rapunzel – Agree that Kaleb really is a Twilighter now, but maybe that comment should reappear in one of the chapter posts!
Look forward to seeing more Twilight inspired songs!
she sounds super, I like her voive. It’s a good song for twilight;-)
wow i really did like that song, as well as the video link you posted :]
i dont really know anything technical about music, but i do know that i thought it was great!
Kalebβs question was whether we liked the song or not – honest opinions will be given. But they are just opinions, not personal attacks.
Thanks for pointing that out, AussieT, you couldn’t be more right. And to say that ‘the fandom’ only likes alternative would be a wrong assumption. Look at the song chosen to represent New Moon ! It’s not that A Fine Frenzy’s Near To You is the top of alternative music.
And it may be perceived that I only like alternative music because of the critique I have on Candace’s work, but actually give me a singer/songwriter behind a piano and I’m happy π
I love her songs so much. Her vocie is amazing and I really really hope her song will get in to new moon. So keeping singing candance and youll make it. lol
Candace, you’ve got a great voice! with the right audience you could make it big. Colbie Callait started out on myspace and now she’s really popular, so keep on singing! Hope to see you on stage someday! π
iiiiiiiiii kinda hate her.. voice.
and song.
I think the song is great, but I’d have to agree that it’s just not my FAVORITE kind of music. Amazing voice, though.
As far as suggestions for Twilight bands, KAT TINGEY KAT TINGEY KAT TINGEY! She’s an amazing folksy singer and she’s written two songs for Twilight, “Isabelle’s Lullaby,” which is all instrumental, and “Undone,” which is my favorite song for Twilight ever.

WOW!!! That was the best song I have ever heard. Candace, you have a lot of talent that will get you far. You should try and get this song on the movie. This may not be the genre for everyone but I think it’s the most amazing song ever. Keep up the good work. People who know real talent will really appreciate your song. Do you have any other songs. I would love to buy it!!
love her voice
You sang that very sexy. You sound and look soooooo HOT. You should be Bella. I would love to hear this song on the movie. Where can I buy it?
OMG!!! What a great song. I can’t believe you wrote that and sang it. You are Pimp girl. Someone needs to sign you right away. I do a lot of singing and performing and I know what I am talking about. If anyone says anything bad about you they obviously don’t know much about music. Hang in there you will be HUGE. You are beautiful too.
Bethany
Girl you have talent. Don’t listen to any of those negative comments above. This song is perfect for Twilight. Mitch Hansen has nothing on you. Tara Louise doesnt either. You are amazing. Don’t shorten the title. If you put “the smell of your skin” that would be dumb. Maybe people would think “your skin stinks”. Leave it long. It is a great and hot title. Longer titles are in now in case no one got the memo!!! You are beautiful also.
Mark
I love her voice- she is amazing. I love the song too. Way to go Candace. I want to buy your single(s) when they come out.
Love the song. I think it really captures the intensity of Twilight, and the vocals are beautiful. The more I listen to it (4th time already xD), the more I like it. Great job, Candace!
I have to say, I like most of the music recommended on your site, Kaleb (even if I find it before you half the time…hehehehe)
So this time is no different: I really like the song, the voice,…everything about it.
Then again, I really really really only don’t like the hard-core, scream-o music, if going by genre.
