I remember a singer back in the very late 80's maybe 90, Tanita Tikarim, who had a great debut album and then I never heard from her again. Has anyone else?! <<<< she brought out a great debut, followed it up with a whole string of consistently good album (personal faourite of mine is "eleven kinds of loneliness" where she sings with what sounds almost like a speech impediment and does some stunning songs like "heal you" & "to drink the rainbow". an artist worth listening to if youre into intelligent, self written lyrics, unusual & beautiful vocals, and original, individual arrangements - gee - wonder if theres anyone here that likes that kind of music :-) just stay clear of her latest, dreadful, "cappucino songs"... ron np-tanita tikaram-Elephant
