Tanita Tikaram: Twist in My Sobriety

A highly unusual video made by Gerard de Thame with a magnificent sepia-colored cinematography by Jeff Darling, "Tanita Tikaram: Twist in My Sobriety" is worthy mostly because of its music, melody, and mysterious lyrics. Despite some hauntingly beautiful images which revolves around poverty, children playing and old folks driving through a desert place (a Bolivian village), it's the music that speaks volumes - more artful minds will find ways to form a connection in between the lyrics, the sounds and the imagery. To me, they both carry a deep sense of mystery, an enigma that possibly requires subsequent views so you can form a whole from both arts: the visual and the sonorous. In a way, it's an interesting way to sell a song...to make it more intriguing, appealing and something that makes you keep coming back even if it's just to hear those incredible arrangements, that clarinet and Tanita's angelical voice. 8/10
