Arika Kane Debut Set
. On her debut self-titled CD, Arika Kane displays a clever blend of modern urban and R&B saturated with memorable hooks, smooth rhythm and irrepressible vocal harmonies. The Connecticut born songstress's sound has been compared to musical divas Mariah Carey and Monica, and Kane cites Whitney Houston and Carey as major influences. Her buoyant soprano coupled with serious lyrical components adds to her pop sensibilities. Kane's recent performance captivated the audience at her debut listening party at New York's DEX Studios. "I am so excited for the world to hear my album," said Kane. "Every song has its own identity and place, yet they are all equally amazing. My goal in all my music is to make people feel good. I really believe we don't embrace the good things in life as much as we should and through my music I hope to contribute to that." Possessing an incredibly beautiful voice and singing since the tender age of ten, Kane had an early start in the game and was born into a musical family. Singers and songwriters themselves, Kane's parents have always been fervent coaches and cheerleaders of her singing and songwriting, which are skillfully displayed on this eponymous debut. Kane's current single "Bcuz I Luv U" has been steadily climbing the Urban and Rhythmic radio charts, and recently hit the #2 spot in the south. "Bcuz I Luv U" has been well received all over the country, reaching over 5 million listeners, ranking # 8 on the Rhythmic Indie airplay charts and #1 on the Urban Indie airplay charts.
