Reasons To Stay (Limited Edition) (Clear Vinyl) [LP]

Two-time Juno Award and Polaris Award-winning Canadian soul star Tanika Charles releases her new album "Reason To Stay" via independent soul label Record Kicks.

"Reasons To Stay" is Tanika Charles' fourth album and her most introspective to date. While her songs are usually about romantic love and heartbreak, this album is about love and loss in the family. It has taken years for Tanika to be able to reflect publicly on the childhood trauma and family separation that took place during her teenage years.

Tanika composed the majority of the album with a close-knit team of Scott McCannell (Lydia Persaud, Henry Nozuka), Kyla Charter (Aysanabee) and Chino de Villa (Jessie Reyez). Kelly Finnigan of the Monophonics mixed the majority of the project, adding Tanika's signature analog polish.

Guests include Quebec-based soulful singer/songwriter Clerel on the final track "Win" and Toronto soul artists Aphrose and Claire Davis, who contribute additional vocals.

In recent years, Canadian soul/R&B powerhouse Tanika Charles has evolved from an up-and-coming solo artist to a commanding performer and bandleader, cementing her status as a force to be reckoned with on the Canadian soul scene.

Her studio albums to date - "Soul Run" (2017), "The Gumption" (2019) and "Papillon De Nuit" (2022) - have earned her international recognition and two JUNO nominations, two Polaris Prize nominations and a growing global fan base. Extensive touring across North America and Europe has further cemented her reputation, with standout performances at festivals such as Trans Musicales in France, Fusion Festival in Germany, Mostly Funk & Soul Festival and Jazz Festival in the UK, Holy Groove Festival in Switzerland and Canarias Jazz Festival in Spain. She has also performed on stage with Estelle, Mayer Hawthorne, Haitus Kayote, Lauryn Hill, Bedouin Soundclash and Macy Gray.
