Tanita Tikaram’s debut album, Ancient Heart (1988), produced by The Zombies’ Rod Argent and drummer Peter Van Hooke, sold more than five million copies.
After a mid-noughties break, she returned with the album Can’t Go Back via Ear Music in 2012. Closer To The People followed in 2016.
In 2019 broadcaster and author Pete Paphides released a career-spanning anthology of Tikaram’s work entitled To Drink The Rainbow, through his label Needle Mythology.
Tikaram’s early catalogue recently received a definitive release from Cherry Red/Warner Music UK with a comprehensive 5CD box set, The WEA/EastWest Albums 1988-1995. The release coincided with a performance on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival.
