R&B Singer Arika Kane Releases Sophomore Album "Substance"

R&B singer/songwriter Arika Kane released her 2nd studio album on April 17th titled Substance. Dubbed one of the latest “blue-eyed soul” singers to hit the music world, the Connecticut native is the first artist on BSE Recordings. Singing since age ten, the soprano’s interest in pursuing music was encouraged by musician parents who traveled and played in bands. Her debut self-titled album Arika Kane(2010) featured the single “Here with Me,” recognizable by the song’s feature on the first season of VH1’s “Love & Hip Hop” among other reality TV shows (see below).

Her second album ‘Substance’ boasts more passionate ballads such as “Just A Plus” and “No More,” along with up-tempo, inspirational tracks such as “Fight 4 Ur Life.” Tracks such as “Bcuz Ur Lonely”, “Let Go,” and “Not Givin” will resonate with women listeners.
