[IAI PREMIERE] Nuela Charles craves ‘Danger’ on bold pop-soul number

Posted by on
Kenyan-born, Canada-based Nuela Charles delivers alt-soul potency through powerful vocals and audacious instrumentation. Nuela was noted as “one to watch” by the great Soul Train, after receiving an early-2018 JUNO Award Nomination for Contemporary Album of the Year for sophomore album “The Grand Hustle”.

Now, she releases the third single ‘Danger’ from the forthcoming EP. Produced by award-winning Ryan Worsely (Dear Rouge, Said The Whale), it succeeds sass-ridden second single ‘Troublemaker’ and snappy first single ‘Do It Right’ – co-written and produced by the renowned, Grammy Nominated Rob Kleiner (Andra Day, Sia, CeeLo Green).



Serving as a ritzy return to the scene, the addictive tones of ‘Danger’ are prevalent from the outset – with zesty marriages of guitar parts and Charles’s silky notes, while a slinky strut of a pre-chorus simply screams “sass”; ‘be a little bit of rough if you let me, kind of tough if you get me’. 

 Here’s what she had to say about the track: “Danger is a song that came out of a writing session that wasn’t even meant for me. We (production duo Towers, and I) had a guest writer in that day (Drew Shalka), and weren’t even thinking about writing for my own project. Lyrically, it’s kind of cheeky and ultimately is just a plea for a more exciting kind of relationship. Who doesn’t want to be swept away, in an epic romance?!”

The ‘Distant Danger’ EP will be out on all platforms from 19th October 2018.
