Tanita Tikaram, sa 08.11.2025, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven

Tanita Tikaram, multi-million selling British singer songwriter, who shot to fame with her award winning album 'Ancient Heart' in 1988, featuring hit songs 'Twist In My Sobriety' and 'Good Tradition', returned with her seventh studio album 'Cant Go Back' in September 2012, released through Edel. Tanita is currently in the studio recording her anticipated new album due for release early 2016.

Last album 'Can’t Go Back’ was recorded in a staggering six days at Sound Factory in L.A with producer Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann, Grant Lee Philips), and was praised as being well worth the wait, seven years to be precise. 'Can’t Go Back’ features some of America's most exciting modern soul musicians including keyboardist Keefus Ciancia (B.B. King, T.Bone Burnett, Elton John, Everlast), Ray LaMontagne's drummer Jay Bellerose and long-term guitarist Mark Creswell. Guest vocals come from American folk singer songwriter Grant Lee Phillips.

Tikaram was inspired by her 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. It proved to be a musical coming home for Münster-born (Germany), Basingstoke-raised (UK) daughter of Fijian/Malaysian parents. The finished result is a warm, uplifting convergence of Tanita's fabulously sensual voice with a live soul groove.
