KT Tunstall Bio

"The last three years have changed me as an artist," says KT Tunstall. "My bar has been raised. I've realized what's possible through making an album, touring behind it with a band, seeing how that album can turn into something else on stage, and how we can actually make it better." Choosing between an album and a concert? Choose the gig advises Tunstall. 

Hailed as "a folk-rock goddess" by Rolling Stone, the Scottish-born singer-songwriter KT Tunstall crafts a provocative sonic mesh of heartfelt pop, rootsy electric blues, and left-field alt-folk. Within six months of its February 2006 re-release, 'Eye to the Telescope', Tunstall's gritty, soulful debut, was certified gold in the U.S., and her music became omnipresent all over radio, television, movies, and the Internet. Thanks to the multi-media exposure of its three singles (the Grammy-Award nominated "Black Horse the Cherry Tree," "Suddenly I See," and "Other Side of the World") 'Eye' is now certified platinum in the U.S. and quintuple platinum in the U.K., with worldwide sales exceeding 3.5 million copies.
 
Tunstall's new 2007 album, 'Drastic Fantastic', is chock full of powerful lyrics and bold, colorful melodies and shows her growth as both a songwriter and a musician after three years of touring. It’s a collection of thumping pop songs and intimate, often mysterious ballads, 'Drastic Fantastic' has many highlights, including the rollicking "Saving My Face," ("about 50-year-old women trying to look like teenagers"), the delicate, jazz-inflected "Someday Soon," the quietly intimate "Beauty Of Uncertainty," and the frisky pop gem "I Don't Want You Now," destined to be a hands-in-the-air live favorite. "I definitely found my inner folk-punk on that one," she says. Nice mainstream pop-rock with a bite & enjoyable floating acoustic ballads.
