Thursday's Child (Tanita Tikaram Song)
"Thursday's Child" is a song by British singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram, released in 1990 as the third and last single from her second studio album, '' The Sweet Keeper''. A remixed version of the song was made for its release as a single. Critical reception Upon its release as a single, Alex Kadis of ''Smash Hits'' stated, "As usual, it's a semi-slow number which she grumbles ferociously in her super-deep 'mature' voice and, as usual, no one knows what she's going on about. That said, it is one of the better Tanita Tikaram songs – very tuneful and melodious (except when she's singing)." Jim Whiteford of '' The Kilmarnock Standard'' praised it as a "strong new single" and continued, "Her album success may well cross over to the singles chart with this outing." Everett True of ''Melody Maker'' commented that Tikaram "sounds so middle-aged" and added that the song "isn't bad, it's just so menopausal".

British Newspaper Archive
The British Newspaper Archive website provides access to searchable digitized archives of British and Irish newspapers. It was launched in November 2011. History The British Library's Newspapers section was based in Colindale in north London until 2013, and is now divided between the St Pancras and Boston Spa sites. The library has an almost complete collection of British and Irish newspapers since 1840.

Songs Written By Tanita Tikaram
A song is a musical composition performed by the human voice. The voice often carries the melody (a series of distinct and fixed pitches) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs have a structure, such as the common ABA form, and are usually made of sections that are repeated or performed with variation later. A song without instruments is said to be a cappella. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in the classical tradition, it is called an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally by ear are often referred to as folk songs. Songs composed for the mass market, designed to be sung by professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows, are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are oft ...

Smash Hits
''Smash Hits'' was a British music magazine aimed at young adults, originally published by EMAP. It ran from 1978 to 2006, and, after initially appearing monthly, was issued fortnightly during most of that time. The name survived as a brand for a spin-off digital television channel, which was later renamed Box Hits, and website. A digital radio station was also available but closed on 5 August 2013. Overview ''Smash Hits'' featured the lyrics of latest hits and interviews with big names in music. It was initially published monthly, then went fortnightly.

Created by journalist Nick Logan, the title was launched in 1978 and appeared monthly for its first few issues. He based the idea on ...
