File:Tasminarcher.jpg Tasmin Archer is an English soul/pop/rock singer, known for her soulful voice. Her first record, Great Expectations, spawned the smash hit, "Sleeping Satellite," a philosophical number about the moon landings, which reached number one in the United Kingdom. Subsequent singles and albums were less successful.
Following overexposure due to heavy press coverage of her newfound fame, she withdrew from the limelight. She had also lost trust for the record companies and felt used[citation needed], and as a result disappeared from the music scene for a number of years[citation needed]. Tasmin herself claims that she suffered from writer's block for many years. However, she did not let this stop her from expressing her creativity in other ways, and she began painting and moulding clay in her time away from the spotlight.
Starting from 2000, she and her musician partner, John Hughes, have been working on a new album, which initially was going to be titled Non Linear, although in a recent newsletter she announced the title will be On. Several demo-versions of the songs from this album were available for free from the Official web site. People were encouraged to leave feedback on the site's forum.
It is intended that On will be released in September '06 on Tasmin's own label, Quiverdisc, and that it will be preceded by a single, Effect Is Monotony.
In 1993, Tasmin won a Brit award for the Best British Breakthrough Act. However, Tasmin later joked that she kept her award in the back of her kitchen cupboard and claimed that she used it for cracking nuts and tenderising steak.
