Multi-million selling music icon Tanita Tikaram returns for the first time in 8 years with a string of rare UK shows and a brand new album LIAR (Love Isn't A Right), the sequel to her debut album Ancient Heart. 

37 years after the release of her multi-million selling debut album ‘Ancient Heart’, Tanita Tikaram announces the sequel entitled ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’. The long-awaited new album reveals the emotional and societal differences between the woman Tanita was at just 18 when she made ‘Ancient Heart’ to the woman she is today, taking in four decades of life experience. ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’ is released on 10 October 2025 via Cooking Vinyl.

Her first album in almost a decade, ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’ is an album of haunting beauty and exquisite musicianship underplaying her unique voice that tells a masterful story of emotional, political and personal truths.

When it was released in 1988, the multi-million selling ‘Ancient Heart’ was the story of an uncertain 18-year-old brown gay woman living in middle England feeling like a stranger in her own home. Almost 40 years later that same woman, now feeling like a stranger in her own country as politics and society become more divisive. ‘LIAR (Love Is A Right)’ is a full circle moment: a comment on community and its importance for all our futures and the perfect accompaniment to her classic breakthrough.

A radical music icon with a musically exquisite and unique sound, don’t miss the unmistakable voice of Tanita Tikaram live.
