Tanika drops off 'Fast Fwd' with Kida Kudz & Naughty Boy

After years spent shaping UK music from behind the scenes, Tanika returns to the spotlight with her captivating new single 'Fast Fwd' - a vibrant, sun-soaked collaboration featuring genre-blending artist Kida Kudz and hit-making producer Naughty Boy.

Arriving off the back of her nostalgic '333' EP, this latest release is more than just a track - it’s a declaration that Tanika is fully in her moment. With a rich blend of 90s R&B warmth and Afrofusion bounce, 'Fast Fwd' kicks off with a slick guitar riff and builds into a smooth melody for Tanika to execute her velvet vocals which glide effortlessly across the beat, while Kida Kudz steps in to elevate the rhythm with his signature energy.

With a career rooted in Brixton’s cultural heartbeat, Tanika has previously worked with a who’s who of UK talent - from Wretch 32 and MNEK to Idris Elba and Stormzy. Her new chapter sees her stepping into full creative control, balancing her artistry with motherhood and a blossoming family life with collaborator and fiancé Kida Kudz.

'Fast Fwd' is a bold statement from an artist who’s been in the room for some of UK music’s most defining moments. Now, she’s inviting us into hers - check out the brand new track below, and let us know your thoughts.
