About this album

The Sweet Keeper deepened Tanita Tikaram’s distinctive folk-pop with darker, more reflective songwriting and a stronger sense of atmosphere. Released in 1990, her second album followed the huge success of Ancient Heart and confirmed that her appeal went beyond a debut hit. Built around her low, expressive voice and understated arrangements, it favours tension, emotional restraint and carefully drawn melodies rather than immediate commercial hooks. The album reinforced Tikaram’s reputation as a serious young singer-songwriter, extending the introspective style that had already made her one of the most striking British pop voices of the late 1980s.
