by KT Tunstall made its appearance in stores Tuesday, October 5th, but I was lucky enough to be part of the blog promotion tour hosted by One2One Network. We've been listening to it in the car since it arrived on Tuesday, and I have to say that it gets two thumbs up from even my toughest music critic - Liam...It's actually really fun to watch him bop along with KT's unique organic sound that she's dubbed "Nature Techno" - and he's even trying to sing along after just a day or so! And believe me, if he wasn't a fan, he'd be making waves... he's even stopped asking for his beloved Kindermusik CD in favor of keeping Tiger Suit
in the hopper!
My husband compared Tiger Suit
and KT's sound to a young Sheryl Crow - reminiscent of Tuesday Night Music Club
, with gritty, realistic lyrics and a great, lasting sound.KT's first single "Fade Like A Shadow" is already a Top 20 hit at radio, and I expect great things from many more of the album's tracks... my personal favorite is a song called "Lost"
KT is a multi-platinum, Scottish-born singer/songwriter whose previous hits include "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," "Suddenly I See," Other Side of the World" and "Hold On".
