Tanita Tikaram does it again, and she does it, almost effortless. Lovers in the City is a great listen, right from the opening track "I might be crying" pining for lost love, which is probably the most accessible the album could offer. The album is full of so many gems that rightfully stand on their own, and nothing seems to sound alike. There's "Feeding the witches", "Leaving the Party" and the rhythmic "Happy Taxi" Songs only Tanita's voice can hone to perfection. Perhaps, this is probably the same reason why all have simple arrangements, and the instruments, sparse . And then there's just the most wonderful "My love tonight" quiet, simple, and true. It touches the heart in so many places. And for a moment, it's nice to be lovelorn.
