Biography

Tanita Tikaram (born 12 August 1969) is a British singer-songwriter, known for her exotic, low voice. Her brother is [a2801246]. Tikaram, of Malaysian and Indo-Fijian ancenstry, was born in Münster, Germany, but since her early teens has lived in the UK. Her debut album "Ancient Heart" was released when she was just 19. The album was a huge hit all over Europe, while the first two singles "Good Tradition" and "Twist In My Sobriety" reached Top 10. The follow-up album "The Sweet Keeper" used the recipe of the debut and was quite successful, but yielded no big hits. Tikaram stepped up as a co-producer on her third album "Everybody's Angel" and produced the fourth, "Eleven Kinds Of Loneliness", solely by herself. While both were solid works, they sold gradually less. Yet, on "Loneliness", Tikaram came on her own as artist. Tikaram started to spend more time abroad, finding collaborators in the USA, Italy and France. "Lovers in the City" (1995) is perhaps her most introspective work so far. On "The Cappuccino Songs" from 1998 Tikaram released some of her most accessible pop tracks so far. After spending several years under the radar, Tikaram returned in 2005 with the jazzy, low-key "Sentimental" album. Since then Tikaram found home with the German Ear Music label and has released two albums, the Americana and Motown influenced "Can't Go Back" (2012) and "Closer To The People" (2016). Her newest album 'LIAR' (Love Isn't A Right) will be released in October 2025.

LYRICS

I'm happy to be here I'm happy to be with you
For where in a lifetime do we do the things we really want to
Now old friends they watch lovers, they wonder where we're going to
They know each look from the other and they accuse you, accuse you
It's on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Don't do this to me, stop listening, start calling my name
Stop turning from me, start feeling I'm here, stop listening keep holding me

I'm happy to lie here, well, I'm happy to touch your face
I've got nothing to fear here so these feelings, they cannot be placed
Oh, why do you never listen? what do you ever want?
It's funny how I feel like, some kind of person
Another kind of person I would never like to be

Your on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and

Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me keep holding me
You can be fragile I don't care I'll always be there

Can't do this to you, stop listening, I keep calling your name yes I do
I'm not turning from you, start feeling I'm here, stop teasing me keep holding me
