Reading: ‘You’ve got to see this girl!’ Tanita Tikaram on making Twist in My Sobriety

Reading Tanita Tikaram's reflections on "Twist in My Sobriety" left me with a gentle hum of nostalgia, as if the memories of my own teenage angst and creative frustration had been stirred by her words - I couldn't help but recall the countless hours I spent scribbling lyrics in my bedroom, searching for meaning in the same turmoil. There's something poignantly familiar about Tikaram's honesty, a sense that our shared struggles with identity and creativity can transcend time and circumstances.
