Vancouver musician Bukola shares her story of growing up Black in Canada and shows gratitude to her favourite Black female artists for paving the way, on her new single 'I Am Enough’ out today on all digital streaming platforms. 

Following the release of 'A Good Thing' in March, 'I Am Enough' is the 2nd single from her debut EP The Chronicles of a Teenage Mind, which is set for release on June 25th. Bukola wrote the powerful, early 2000s R&B-influenced track with Vancouver musicians Tonye Aganaba, Desirée Dawson, and Anthony Anderson. 

“‘I Am Enough’ was the last song written for my new EP and it was initially supposed to be a playful song about a day in my life,” says Bukola. “However, after the continuous rise of anti-Black racism, I knew I wanted to write something more poignant. The song talks about my journey growing up as a young black woman and some of my struggles. It also shows gratitude to my favourite Black female artists, who have helped me gain confidence with my skin and who ultimately taught me that I Am Enough. My hope for this song is that other young Black people can listen to it and know that they are not the only ones going through certain things and that they should be proud of their beautiful dark skin and heritage. All proceeds from this song are going to the Black Youth Helpline who work tirelessly to help Black Canadian youth with their struggles and provide them with culturally relevant advice and support. An organization like this is super important to ensure that my Black peers get to the point where they believe they are enough because they are, and so much more.” 

Recently hailed by the CBC as one of the Top 10 Soulful Female Artists in the 2020 CBC Searchlight competition, Bukola blends the sounds of contemporary R&B and Jazz music to create her own soulful sound. She’s deeply influenced by artists such as India.Arie, Daniel Caesar and H.E.R., and worked with Grammy Award-winning producer, Chin Injeti, and Juno Award-winning producer Ben Kaplan on her soon to be released debut EP The Chronicles of A Teenage Mind.

Bukola's new single ‘I Am Enough’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit bukolamusic.com.

PRAISE FOR 'A GOOD THING'

 "Bukola is in her element here and delivers a gripping performance well beyond her age.” - Earmilk 

"Fans of TLC and Lauryn Hill will appreciate the sonics Bukola plays with here, as the song itself transforms from an acoustic ballad to a 90’s era R&B throwback and back with
seamless ease.” - Rock The Pigeon
