Tanita Tikaram Returns With LIAR, an Orchestral Chamber-Pop Album

The new songs pair political unease with intimate reflections on aging and loss.

Overview

  • LIAR is out today, marking her continued recording presence, with 'Twist in My Sobriety' now over 73 million streams.
  • The 10-track record leans into chamber-pop, foregrounding cello, violin and accordion in storytelling arrangements.
  • Tikaram frames the album around a sense that things are falling apart, citing a widening gap between politics and public desire.
  • 'Sailboats' addresses growing older as a farewell to her younger self, finding strength in letting go.
  • She promotes the release with October–November concerts in Germany, including Hamburg, Karlsruhe and Berlin.
