Tanita Tikaram returns with LIAR (Love Isn't A Right), a beautifully crafted 2025 release on Cooking Vinyl that showcases her unmistakable voice in stunning form. The album draws from a rich palette of Soul, Funk, and Pop influences, centered around a bold reinvention of Molly Drake's "Love Isn't A Right" — a song Tikaram has described as epitomizing so much of the politics of our time, with the acronym LIAR giving it a striking contemporary resonance.
Beyond the thought-provoking title track, the album features a breathtaking rendition of the classic standard "Wild Is The Wind" — previously interpreted by legends like Nina Simone and David Bowie — and closes with the hauntingly wistful "Sailboats," described as a perfect song of farewell. With beautifully recorded production, perfectly judged arrangements, and Tikaram's clear and captivating diction throughout, LIAR (Love Isn't A Right) stands as a truly stunning artistic statement.
