Produced by Scott McCannell and mixed by Kelly Finnigan of Monophonics, Record Kicks presents two brand new single from Canadian rising soul star Tanika Charles on limited edition clear 45 vinyl. “Don’t Like You Anymore and “Here When You’re Ready” are taken from the highly anticipated new album “Reasons To Stay” from the Twice JUNOnominated and two-time Polaris Prize listed, Tanika Charles that is coming out in May 2025 via Record Kicks.

On the A side “Don't Like You Anymore” is a mid-tempo gospel-funk stormer able to set the dancefloor on fire. With its boom-bap-smacked drums and chunky basslines, it will not be a surprise if rap/hip-hop artists will get on it to sample the song. The B side “Here When You’re Ready” is an equally strong mid-tempo soul number that makes this limited edition 45 vinyl a real double-sider.

Canadian Soul/R&B powerhouse Tanika Charles in a few years has transformed from an emerging solo artist to a commanding performer and bandleader, a staple in the Canadian soul scene. The success of her three studio album "Soul Run" (2017), "The Gumption" (2019) and “Papillon De Nuit” (2022) propelled Tanika in front of new audiences far and wide, with extensive touring in North America and Europe where she performed at Trans Musicales Festival in France, the Lärz, Germany Fusion Festival, Mostly Funk & Soul Festival and Jazz Festival in UK, the Holy Groove Festival in Switzerland, and the Canarias Jazz Festival in Spain just to name a few. Her touring career has also seen her supporting the likes of Estelle, Mayer Hawthorne, Haitus Kayote, Lauryn Hill, Bendouin Soundclash and Macy Gray.
