Con unos origenes muy diversos y navegando entre un mar de ricas culturas, Tanita Tikaram publicaba a finales de los años ochenta su álbum Ancient Heart, donde podían encontrarse joyitas como "Good Tradition", "Cathedral Song" o "Twist In My Sobriety". Su principal arma es su aterciopelada y sensual voz. Una voz grave, profunda, casi hipnotizante que se convertía en el medio ideal para conducir melodías en ocasiones estilo folk-jazz,y con letras llenas de contenido.
Melancolía, sensibilidad y buen gusto que son, junto a su particular voz, la clave que hace que, aunque el éxito se quedó frenado en seco con ese primer disco, hoy en dia siga teniendo un hueco en mi recuerdo.

All God's children need
travelling shoes,
drive your problems from here,
all good people read good books,
now your conscience is clear,
now your conscience is clear.
In the morning when I wipe my brow,
wipe the miles away,
I like to think I can be so willed,
and never do what you say,
and never do what you say.
Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn
red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.
We just poked a little pie,
for the fun that people have at night,
late at night don't need hostility
the timid smile and pause to free.
I don't care about their different thoughts,
different thoughts are good for me,
up in arms and chaste and whole,
all God's children took their toll.
Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn
red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.
Cup of tea take time to think, yeah,
time to risk a life, a life, a life,
sweet and handsome, soft and porky,
you pig out 'til you've seen the light,
pig out 'til you've seen the light.
Half the people read the papers,
read them good and well,
pretty people, nervous people,
people have got to sell,
news you have to sell.
Look my eyes are just holograms,
look your love has drawn
red from my hands,
from my hands you know you'll never be
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety,
more than twist in my sobriety.
