LIAR (LOVE ISN'T A RIGHT) - ÉDITION LIMITÉE

Description

Tanita Tikaram rose to fame at just 18 years old thanks to a unique series of songs (including the global hit "Twist in my Sobriety," which has garnered over 73 million streams). These immensely successful tracks showcased her remarkable voice and reflected the independence of the late 1980s and early 1990s, challenging previous female musical stereotypes. 37 years after the release of her multi-million-selling debut album "Ancient Heart," Tanita Tikaram will release a sequel titled "LIAR (Love Isn't A Right)." This highly anticipated new album reveals the emotional and societal differences between the woman Tanita was at 18 when she made "Ancient Heart" and the woman she is today, drawing on four decades of life experience. LIAR (Love Isn't A Right) will be released on October 10, 2025, on Cooking Vinyl. The singer's first album in nearly a decade, "LIAR (Love Isn't A Right)" is a hauntingly beautiful and exquisitely musical album that showcases her unique voice and tells a masterful story of emotional, political, and personal truths. Upon its release in 1988, the multi-million-selling "Ancient Heart" told the story of an 18-year-old, queer, dark-haired woman living in central England and feeling like a stranger in her own home. Nearly 40 years later, that same woman now feels like a stranger in her own country, as politics and society become increasingly divided. LIAR (Love Is A Right)" is a full circle moment: a commentary on community and its importance for all our futures. Celebrated as a music icon, Tanita Tikaram was recently the subject of an exhibition at the Venice Biennale and another at the National Portrait Gallery. She returned to play at Glastonbury Festival in 2024. Tanita Tikaram summarizes: "You never plan to make a sequel to an album, but this one feels entirely appropriate. I see myself both today and back then, frustrated, alienated, and in part afraid of the future, and it just manifests in a different way."
