Tanika Charles - Soul Run single drops

Via Record Kicks: "Rising star of Canadian soul music Tanika Charles presents her first single “Soul Run” produced by Slakah The Beatchild (Drake).

“Soul Run”, produced by Slakah the Beatchild (BBE Records), best known for being Drake’s producer and collaborator, is the first single by Tanika Charles and it's coming out next 10th of February on Record Kicks. The song anticipates the release of the self-titled album that will hit the streets worldwide next 7th of April.

Considered to be the “next big thing” among the Canadian soul community, in a few short years Tanika Charles has transformed from an emerging solo artist to a commanding performer and bandleader, a staple in the Canadian soul scene both on stage and off. Although her career is only at the beginning, Tanika has already collaborated with the likes of Estelle, Lauryn Hill and Macy Gray, along with regular appearances on TV and National Network (CTV, Global, CBC Radio).

Edmonton raised Charles presents an immutable charm, at times endearingly abrasive and honest in her vulnerabilities: if Tanika’s singing it, she’s lived it! In fact, "Soul Run" comes from a tragic part of Tanika's life: trapped in an emotionally abusive relationship in rural Canada, she decided to "borrow" her then fiancée’s car and ran away to Toronto to begin her singing career, never looking back. Now she is ready to tell her story to the world."
