Soul Run is the debut full-length album from Canadian R&B artist Tanika Charles, first released independently in Canada on May 10, 2016,[1] and internationally on April 7, 2017 through Record Kicks.[2] It was long-listed for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize[3] and nominated for the 2017 Juno Awards R&B/Soul Recording of the Year[4] alongside The Weeknd, Daniel Caesar, dvsn and PARTYNEXTDOOR. Shortly after self-releasing the album in Canada, Tanika Charles signed with Italian funk/soul label Record Kicks. The international release that followed in 2017 included the additional song “Sweet Memories”.

The album was supported by the singles “Soul Run”, “Two Steps”, “Endless Chain” and "Love Fool”. Videos for “Soul Run” and “Endless Chain” were co-directed by Taha Muharuma and Shanik Tanna. A behind-the-scenes tour video for “Two Steps” was edited by Michael Warren and filmed by Jon Foster during Tanika Charles & The Wonderful's first European tour in December 2017.[5]

Copies of the album are available on CD and LP, as well as across all streaming and digital download music services. The singles “Soul Run” and “Endless Chain” were made available on limited edition 7” vinyl.[6]
