Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The title at least betrays an acute understanding on Tanita Tikaram's part of her place in the rock firmament. Ever since emerging from the unpromising background of Basingstoke as an ingenuous teenage prodigy in the late 1980s, Tikaram has been promoted as a musician for grown-ups, the heiress to the tradition of profound--if not always readily comprehensible--singer-songwriters established by Carole King and Joni Mitchell. It nearly worked--there were initially a few respectable hits around Europe, but by this late stage the bus had well and truly left. Tikaram, to her credit, sounds utterly unbothered, and so fills another album in the same manner she always has: politely, occasionally intriguingly, and with fingers crossed that her distinctive, husky baritone will mask the howlers that still occasionally grace her lyric sheets. --Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars Tanita's lighter side, 24 Dec 2003
Anyone who has heard Tanita Tikaram's music, fan or not, cannot deny that her voice is beautifully distinctive. It has a sharpness and clarity that makes it perfect for pop, whilst the husky, broken tones can bring even the most minimalist minor-chord song to life. Put simply, Tanita's voice can work with any kind of music.

On her 6th album - The Cappuccino Songs - Tanita uses her voice to maximum effect to deliver a string of luscious pop melodies. "Stop Listening", the album's opener, is a wry nod to those fickle fans that gave up on Tanita. "Amore Si", the album's third song, sees Tanita deliver one of her finest pop songs yet, whilst "I don't wanna lose at love", the 6th track, sees Tanita finally tackle the dancefloor with her music. The track is driven by bass and strings and, of course, Tanita's seductively husky vocals. An intriguing cover version of Abba's much underrated "The Day Before You Came" carries the album into it's final stages.

What about the rest? Well, they're more than filler, let's say that. "Light Up My World" is a lovely, stripped-down ballad with a happy ending. "If I Ever" would fit easily in any Abba collection, whilst "The Cappuccino Song" and "I Like This" are sexy, essentially feminine songs with a playful edge.

Tanita has definitely come out of her shell, and with it her music is blossoming. Hardly a peep has been heard out of her for five years - if she comes back with anything like The Cappuccino Songs, it will - like a good cappuccino - have been well worth the wait.

BRAVO TANITA!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Capuccino!!!!, 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Tanita Tikaram has been one of my very favourite artists since her sensational debut album ANCIENT HEART (1988). Since then, she continued giving us a stream of excellent music, and this album (her seventh) released in 1998 starts a new phase in her artistic life.

CAPUCCINO SONGS marks her debut with Mother Records and indeed it is a fine one! The album features new musicians which do not appear in her earlier albums (so goodbye to Mark Creswell, Mark Isham, Helen O'Hara and others). However, she still works with the London Session Orchestra, an excellent ensemble which also features in her 1995 CD "Lovers in the City". And still her new team of musicians is everything one could ask for!

Every single song is a hit!!! It includes the three singles "Stop Listening", "I Don't Wanna Lose at Love" and "If I Ever". It also includes an excellent cover version of ABBA's "The Day Before You Came".

Those who are looking for the Tanita of her first albums will not be able to find her here. But still she is a gorgeous musician/songwriter/singer and THIS ALBUM PROVES THAT SHE HAS NOT RUN OUT OF IDEAS AS MOST CRITICS SAY!!!! (my caps.) Indeed she is one of the few musicians which still make sense in this era!!!

The songs are all written with her producer Marco Sabiu, except two. They are mostly light tracks, jolly and with a sense of fun in them, and before you know it you reach the last track.

It is definitely worth buying especially since it has been recently reissued at mid-price, and this UK edition features a bonus track: the single version of "I Don't Wanna Lose at Love".

Full lyrics and also guitar tabs are provided in the booklet. Bargain price! Exciting music! Excellent artist! What else do you want -- JUST GET IT!

PS: I am really looking forward to her next album...Go on Ms. Tikaram -- MAKE OUR DAY!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Just black coffee for me., 8 Sep 2002
I've always loved Tanita Tikaram's previous works, which is rather distant when seen from this latest effort. Not that the album cappucino songs is a total disappointment. It features gems like "Back in your arms", "If I ever" and "Light up my world". Wonderful songs yes,but maybe not expected from the Tanita I've grown to love. These are songs I'd expect from probably, Marie Frank or Bic Runga, or Lisa Loeb even, but not from Tanita. And so she has made a big leap from her previous sound. She is evolving, but is it right to have her evolve into everybody else when she was perfectly distinct before? I'm scared to think that with so much serving of cappucino,nobody's left to offer plain potent black coffee.
