Debut album from Juno Awards nominee Tanika Charles ‘Soul Run’ takes a similar direction to a lot of new soul acts – looking back to the golden era while remaining rooted in the now. ‘Soul Run’ and ‘Two Steps’ both hark back to earlier times – think the late 60s Detroit funky soul epoch – while the big, pacey ‘Sweet Memories’ has Truth & Soul touches. ‘Money’ could have been born in Michigan circa ’65, ‘Love Fool’ has all the elements to become a hit on Northern Soul dancefloors, the superb, summery crossover ‘Endless Chain’ has instant appeal in the bouncy drums and sweet undercurrents while the superb deep, slowie ‘Heavy’ is a nice reprise from the high energy dance sounds. Great stuff.
