“Colors of the Wind” is an iconic song. Best known by its original performer, Vanessa Williams, the song took on a life of its own. Stemming from the iconic Disney film, Pocahontas means a lot to people, and the song just as much. Arika Kane’s rendition honors the original, while still making it her own.
“I was inspired to sing “Colors Of The Wind” from Disney’s Pocahontas because of my Grandmother’s spirit who recently crossed over to heaven,” recalls Kane. “She was always so connected to the beauty of earth and everything it has to offer. She taught me at a very young age about the magic of nature and that everything is alive. I want to continue this message as it’s very important especially in times we are in right now. Remembering the beauty of creation as we can see and experience it in nature is always healing.”
In 2014, Kane lit up international radio with her song “It’s There”, an epic collaboration with the legendary Brian McKnight. This timeless ballad climbed the U.S. sales charts reaching #1 in R&B. It also climbed the Billboard charts reaching #8 in Billboard Sales and was quickly cherished by music fans of all-genres worldwide.
