Tanita Tikaram shot to fame at just 18 years old with a unique string of hit songs that showcased her remarkable voice and reflected the independence of the late 1980s/early 90s, defying previous female music stereotypes and defining her in the eyes of music history. Twist In My Sobriety has racked up over 73 million streams.
Embarking on her first full tour since 2019, Tanita Tikaram explores her extraordinary back catalogue in new ways, showcasing her journey from the 18-year-old who released multi-million selling ‘Ancient Heart’ through to sequel ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’ which will be released on 10 October 2025.
Tanita will be backed on the tour by a specially created 21st century chamber band featuring Helen O’Hara (Violin, The Charlatans/Dexys midnight Runners), Marc Pell (Drums, Mount Kimbie), Andy Monaghan (Bass, Frightened Rabbit), Zosia Jagodzinska (Cello), Midori Jaeger (Cello), Chris Roberts (Guitar)and Bartek Glowacki (Accordian).
The long-awaited new album reveals the emotional and societal differences between the woman Tanita was to the woman she is today, taking in four decades of life experience. It is an album of haunting beauty and exquisite musicianship underplaying her unique voice that tells a masterful story of emotional, political and personal truths.
When it was released in 1988, the multi-million selling ‘Ancient Heart’ was the story of an uncertain 18-year-old brown gay woman living in middle England feeling like a stranger in her own home. Almost 40 years later that same woman, now feeling like a stranger in her own country as politics and society become more divisive. ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’ is a full circle moment: a comment on community and its importance for all our futures and the perfect accompaniment to her classic breakthrough.
