Detroit artist Charity fully commits to music career ahead of second album

If you're looking for an R&B artist who represents the spirit and sound of Detroit, look no further than Charity Ward. Her sound, sculpted from her upbringing as a preacher's kid, inspired her debut album in 2020, "Tended Headed."

After years as a part-time musician, and after a major collaboration with rapper Snoop Dogg on her single "Cruel," she entered 2025 on a mission to commit to music full-time. 

She joined The Metro to share how transformative her total dedication to music has been and what listeners can expect from her upcoming album. 

"The Metro" covers local and regional news and current affairs, arts and cultural events and topics, with a commitment to airing perspectives and uncovering stories underreported by mainstream media in Detroit.
