Singer and songwriter Arika Kane is out with a brand new music video this week. The video showcases Kane's single "Love Makes a Woman," which is a remake of Barbara Acklin's classic song from the 1960s. Kane explains what the current streaming music landscape means for artists, and content creators.
The U.S. Copyright Royalty Board recently improved an increase for songwriters on streaming platforms. "I think there's a lot more work that needs to be done, but at least that gives hope," says Kane. "There's no music without the artists."
On what inspired Kane to produce this video, and the remake of "Love Makes a Woman," she says she connected to the soulful and rawness of this song.
