30th Anniversary Edition On 180g Audiophile Vinyl LP!
Numbered, Limited Edition Of 1500 Copies On Transparent Vinyl!
Tanita Tikaram was only 19 when she released her debut album Ancient Heart. She recorded a wistful and melancholy work which shows a woman with a lot of life experience. Her perfect signature song "Twist in My Sobriety" is an unbelievable deep and stark track. Years after its release it doesn't sound one bit dated and it shows her fully skilled talent as a singer-songwriter. Another track that made it to the charts is "Good Tradition". Other highlights include the more upbeat "Cathedral Song" and the jazzy "For All the Years".
Ancient Heart is available as a limited 30th anniversary edition of 1,500 individually numbered copies on clear vinyl, with an insert containing a personal note from Tanita.
"Singer/songwriter Tanita Tikaram's debut album, Ancient Heart, stands as one of the most underappreciated albums of the 1980s, and she, along with Tracy Chapman, preceded the 1990s' onslaught of female singer/songwriters by almost a decade. While this album may be considered folkish and artsy, it never stoops to the clichés that dominated those styles of music in the later Lilith Fair years. Her near perfect signature song 'Twist in My Sobriety' is a stark, sinuous, desperate torch song that managed to garner a bit of radio and video airplay in its day and sounded like nothing else then or since. Ancient Heart is a smoky, world-weary album... The definite highlight of Tanita Tikaram's career." - AllMusic
