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

Your sun
Doesn't make it easy for me
Way I breathed before
Now I don't breathe - no more freely
And I like
To catch the shoulder where you cry
My business -
A message in the sky
If it's a long time coming
Just carry, carry somebody else's blame
If it's a long time coming
Let us start the speech again
My clown -
Hooked the rose between his teeth
Stole into the night
To my laugh was quiet relief
And your spice - let me roll it through my tongue
When I'm caught and older
I'll still be caught beneath this sun

And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry
'Cos I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived

Your light -
Let the shadows take it down
There's no sense in the beginning -
With the cover on your frown
And my light -
Makes the shade, a shade too black
And though I choose this
You still choose to have me back -

And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry
'Cos I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived

While you were out yonder
Checking out the scene
Maybe you'll lose your thunder
Maybe you'll lose your dream

And my heat
Is only striking hot for you
'Cos I'm not shaking easy
I'm just acting from your one
And "Hey Boss!"
You couldn't make it on your own
Sure I've stamped you easy
And I'll lead you back to home

And everybody was here
They was telling their own sad stories
I'm sorry I'm not so clear
And time will take you aside
You better cover your eyes - or you'll cry
'Cos I know sunset's
I know sunset's
I know sunset's arrived
