About Tanita Tikaram
Tanita Tikaram is a German-born, British singer/songwriter known for her sophisticated blend of pop and folk and her deep, smoky voice. Her 1988 debut, Ancient Heart, was a breakout success, yielding the Top Ten hits "Good Tradition" and "Twist in My Sobriety." She continued to refine her sound on follow-up releases like Everybody's Angel (1991) and Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (1992), which, while less commercially successful, helped establish her as a pioneering cult artist whose influence could be heard in subsequent waves of female singer/songwriters. After 1998's The Cappuccino Songs, Tikaram took a hiatus from music, re-emerging in 2003 with the intimate, piano-led Sentimental. Her output since then has been sporadic, though of consistently high quality, and includes 2012's soulful Can't Go Back and 2016's jazzy Closer to the People. Tikaram returned in 2025 with the richly textured LIAR (Love Isn't a Right).
