Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #39: Tanika Charles’ ‘Soul Run’

December 3, 2017 Albumism Staff

#39
Tanika Charles | Soul Run
Record Kicks | Official Store | Amazon | iTunes

According to Patrick Corcoran: “This effort to reach the soul loving public should reap the whirlwind for Charles, as her album is a shining example of a modern refit of the classic soul of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Produced by an assortment of soundsmiths including Slakah the Beatchild, Daniel Lee, Emdee and 2nd Son, Christopher Sandes, and Big Tweeze, it manages to lend a contemporary edge to those archetypal soul sounds, allied to some empowered feminine lyrics to produce an album capable of crossing over to the mainstream....Containing light and shade that offers a glimpse into what may yet be, it’s a suitably winning end to an album bursting with promise and relatable, down to earth lyrics of love, life and liberation.”
