Tanita Tikaram

Eleven Kinds Of Lonliness


"Eleven Kinds of Lonliness" is an exceptional album that demonstrates the creative risk artists sometimes need to take to grow.

Simply the most distinctive voice in the biz, guaranteed to make those unfamiliar with her stop and ask. "Who is that?" On this 1992 release, her 4th, you may ask "What in the world is she talking about'?" Well, we can't give you any answers to that, but rest assured, she's the real thing! Her voice and lyrics become dance partners, each dependent upon the moves of the other, yet each are mesmerizin g in and of themselves. Includes Heal You. You Make The Whole World Cry.

The Tikaram voice on Eleven Kinds of Loneliness was particularly startling, and seemed to owe something to her entirely understandable admiration for O'Hara, whose one album and eccentric live shows of a few years back, made an impression. "I cried all the way through the concert. I thought, I'll never be like this." Later, she found herself eating in the same restaurant as her new heroine, but her courage failed her. "So I wrote a note and gave it to the waitress, but she gave it to the wrong woman". One could not, perhaps, have wished for a clearer indication that O'Hara's career had its own problems, but Tikaram pressed on regardless: hence the vocal swoops and quirks, and the unadorned intimacy, that made Eleven Kinds of Loneliness such an attractive proposition. "My voice wasn't very controlled, it was taking a lot of chances, and maybe I don't do that any more, and that's really sad."
