"Stop Listening" is a song by British singer-songwriter Tanita Tikaram, which was released in 1998 as the lead single from her sixth studio album The Cappuccino Songs.

In a 1998 Polydor press release, Tikaram described "Stop Listening" as being "about still loving somebody with whom you have nothing left in common, being pulled this way and that way.

"[3] Upon its release as a single, Music Week announced that Tikaram is "back with a richer, fuller sound" and commented, "She's as dark and moody as ever, conveying her thoughts with her trademark breathy style, and the introduction of strings by producer Marco Sabiu adds a new layer to her sound.

Matching the success of 'Good Tradition' will be tough, but this is her best single since her early hits.

"[1] Andrew Hirst of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner wrote, "It's 10 years since she shot to fame with her dark, deep voice and the depressing-sounding deadpan single 'Twist in My Sobriety'.
