Little sister leaving town - Tanita Tikaram

'Little sister leaving town' was the second single taken from Tanita Tikaram's second album 'The sweet keeper' (1990). The single peaked at number 83 in the UK singles chart, continuing the trend of declining sales for each single Tikaram released since her debut album.

Nevertheless, 'Little sister leaving town' is one of Tikaram's more accomplished songs, creating an intimate atmosphere. The B-side was a demo version of 'I love the heaven's solo', which would become a single a few years later.
