來自英國的民謠女歌手Tanita Tikaram.Tanita Tikaram 是馬來與斐濟的混血，12歲移居到英國并開始創(chuàng)作歌曲，17歲舉辦了自己的第一個小型音樂會，其后便開始在電視里露面，并很快簽約到華納唱片，于1988年推出了她的第一張專輯《古典的心》(Ancient Heart)。Tanita Tikaram，她至今已發(fā)表過七張專輯，最近的一張是2005年的《Sentimental》，她的歌一直變化不大，優(yōu)美的曲調、簡單的配器，或許這些年她的生活已經(jīng)有過不為人知的起伏跌宕，但在唱片里，她仍舊是那么深情款款。

Tanita Tikaram made a splash on both sides of the Atlantic at a mere 19 years of age with her dramatic, singer/songwriter-influenced lyrics. The offspring of Malaysian and Fijian parents, Tikaram moved to England at age 12 and began writing songs as a teenager. She played her first gig at 17 in London after a favorable response to her demo tape from a club she had sent it to. After appearing on television, Tikaram was signed to Warner and released Ancient Heart, co-produced by Rod Argent and Peter Van Hooke, in 1988. Both "Twist in My Sobriety" and "Good Tradition" were hits in Europe, and Tikaram toured the world. With the follow-up album, 1990's The Sweet Keeper, Tikaram began to settle into the status of a cult act, a situation not changed by the less consistent albums Everybody's Angel (1991) and Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (1992). Still, Tikaram began to bounce back in 1995 with the album Lovers in the City; she moved to Polygram for 1998's The Cappuccino Songs. Seven years passed before she returned with Sentimental with special guest Nick Lowe appearing on two tracks.
