Closer to the People is the ninth studio album by the British singer Tanita Tikaram.[4] The record was released on 11 March 2016 through Ear Music, an imprint of German-based label Edel Music.[5] The album also produced two singles: "Glass Love Train" and "The Way You Move".
Background
Closer to the People is Tikaram's first album in four years. Like her previous album Can't Go Back, it was released through Ear Music. Tikaram released a videoclip for the song "Food on My Table" in December 2015, although she stated this record was not the first single of the album.[6] Tikaram said that the record is inspired by the blues compositions she likes to play with her band.[7]
