Canadian soul star Tanika Charles has done a lot of mending in her life. And one big marker of her personal evolution is the new album Reasons To Stay, a collection of songs inspired by unfulfilled promises and growing up in a broken home. Each track plays like a letter that belongs in a series of letters: to family members, to herself, and to us — her listeners. “How Long Will It Take” is an upbeat reflection on what it takes to heal.
