Thursday music corner: Tanita Tikaram (b. West Germany, 1969) is a British singer-songwriter who came to prominence at the end of her teenage years with her 1988 debut album Ancient Heart. After growing up in West Germany where her father served in the British Army, Tikaram moved with her family to Hampshire in her early teenage years. Ancient Heart was her first and most commercially successful album, selling four million copies and performing particularly well in Europe - it topped the charts in West Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Norway, and hit the top 10 in the UK, the Netherlands and Sweden. The most recent of her nine studio albums was released in 2016 on the German Ear Music label.
The cryptically-lyriced Twist in My Sobriety was the lead single from the album and reached number 2 in the West German and Austrian pop charts; it also hit the top 10 in France, Ireland, Norway and Switzerland; in the UK it only reached number 22.
