Defined by her unique voice and her direct and haunting self-penned songs, Tanita Tikaram found fame with the album ‘Ancient Heart‘ in 1988 – with hit songs like ‘Twist In My Sobriety‘ and ‘Good Tradition‘, it sold over five million copies and established her as a major worldwide artist.
On her latest album, ‘Can’t go back’, Tikaram was inspired by a new-found love of Americana, by the union of country and soul by Motown and Chess, and by singers such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Dusty Springfield, Don Williams, Paul Simon and the long-lost Marie Knight. The result is a warm, uplifting convergence of Tanita’s fabulously sensual voice with a live soul groove.
‘Her voice retains all it’s dark chocolatey-ness – rich but austere, moreish but daunting.’ (Q)
