Review:
A very good album
I like this album a lot. I’ve heard bits and pieces of Tanita
Tikaram’s work over the years but never really investigated her
albums. On Acoustic she shows that she’s a good songwriter and
that she can really use that dark voice to great effect.
It’s a collection
of good, varied songs, including a great version of the excellent
Twist In My Sobriety. There’s quite a brooding air over the album
but it’s always soulful rather than oppressive and it’s a good
listen throughout. I’m getting more and more out of it with each
hearing and I’ll be investigating Tanita’s other albums as a
result. If you like a singer/songwriter who has an individual voice
both in what she writes and how she sings, try a few samples; I’ll
bet you’re impressed. I was surprised by how good this is and I
can recommend it warmly.
