The sequel to her 1988 debut record comes out on October 10.
Tanita Tikaram has announced the release of her new record LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right) for October 10 2025 via Cooking Vinyl.
The new record is set to be a sequel to her 1988 debut Ancient Heart, 37 years after its initial release.
To accompany the announcement, Tikaram also put out the new single ‘Fear and Chills’, a track about "yearning for something you can never have," personal or political.
Check it out below:
“When it was released in 1988,” the record’s official description reads, “the multi-million selling Ancient Heart was the story of an uncertain 18-year-old brown gay woman living in middle England feeling like a stranger in her own home.

“Almost 40 years later that same woman, now feeling like a stranger in her own country as politics and society become more divisive. LIAR (Love Is A Right) is a full circle moment: a comment on community and its importance for all our futures and the perfect accompaniment to her classic breakthrough.”
Tikaram is set to celebrate the album’s release with a UK and Europe tour across October and November, with Irish dates yet to be announced.
