Canadian soul queen Tanika Charles release the new single "Love Fool".

Produced by Slakah the Beatchild (BBE records), well-know for his work with the Hip Hop superstar Drake, "Love Fool" is Tanika Charles' new single and is taken from her heavily acclaimed debut album "Soul Run". The super soulful new single is built around a funky bass line in which Tanika showcases her impressive vocal skills and her boundless energy.

With roots in Trinidad & Tobago, Edmonton raised Miss Charles presents an immutable charm, at times endearingly abrasive and honest in her vulnerabilities. After the release of her debut LP "Soul Run" on Record Kicks, Tanika has been extensively touring in Canada and in Europe, playing some of the most important venues and festivals such as the "Trans Musicales" in Rennes and the "Mostly Jazz Funk & Soul" in Birmingham. In a few short years, Tanika has transformed from an emerging solo artist to a commanding performer and bandleader, a staple in the Canadian soul scene described as the "Coolest thing happened in Canada since Drake" (Uncut) and a "refreshing burst of all the familiar flare and soul of Motown" (AftoPunk).

The new soulful sound of Chicago.

Record Kicks pres. “Think I’m Falling in Love”, the new single by the Chicago Soul outfit The Devonns, which will be released digitally worldwide Friday the 14th of September. This is the second single from the band, which is now working in the studio with Brian Wilsons’ Paul Von Mertens (Mavis Staples, Paul McCartney) on their debut LP.

Following the success of the debut single “Come Back”, “Think I’m Falling in Love” is an uplifting soulful track heavily inspired by the sound of The Impressions and Leroy Hutson. Recorded at Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago, the song relies on the band’s steady groove and it is enriched by the strings’ and the horns’ arrangements. According to the band-leader Mathew Ajjarapu, "The song actually came to me pretty quickly; I was driving to work one day and suddenly the entire guitar lead riff popped into my head, along with the bass line and chords. I instantly knew it was kind of special".

Started in 2016 by the singer and songwriter Mathew Ajjarapu who, after he dropped out of med school found himself drawn over and over to underground soul hits becoming hooked on the grooves and impeccable production and arranging values, The Devonns see the rhythm duty entrusted to Khalyle Hagood (bass) and Khori Wilson (drums), while Cam Cunningham is on the guitar.
