My Take
Tanita Tikaram's voice is unforgettable, that deep, smoky alto that arrived fully formed when she was barely out of her teens. Born in Germany and rising to prominence in Britain, she broke through with Twist in My Sobriety and Good Tradition from her 1988 debut Ancient Heart. What I admire is her refusal to chase trends; she has quietly cultivated her own sound across decades. There is a Leo-like steadiness to her presence, an artist comfortable in her own register. I think she remains underrated, the kind of singer whose music sinks in late at night and stays.
