KT Tunstall is great.

This post pertains to the last article about the artist KT Tunstall. She is definitely worth checking out. The track listing for her new album, Tiger Suit, is below. Comments included on ones I have listened to.

1. Uummannaq Song (A great way to start an album. Good song featuring some Native American-sounding backup vocals.)
2. Glamour Puss
3. Push That Knot Away (Nice bass guitar solo and use of backtracking; this song is also a strong point on the album, and Tunstall's first attempt at techno.)
4. Difficulty
5. Fade Like A Shadow (Catchy lyrics, totally Tunstall.)
6. Lost
7. Golden Frames (The appeal of the eerie feel seems to work well for this track. However, I'm not crazy about the male backup vocals during the chorus.)
8. Come On, Get In (The "foot-tapping" song of the album. The Native American vocals have returned with energy. Seemingly nonsensical lyrics in the chorus, but I'm sure there was something deep in mind when this song was written.)
9. (Still A) Weirdo
10. Madame Trudeaux
11. The Entertainer
 
Her previous album, Drastic Fantastic, is great if you're not the techno-type.

  1. "Little Favours" (Great start to a powerful album. Interesting use of minor and major in transition with the chorus and refrain.)
  2. "If Only" (Not the best on the album, but still good.)
  3. "White Bird" (A mellow track, this song features some interesting guitar work.)
  4. "Funnyman" (Definitely a strong point on the album. I especially love the incorporation of the mandolin)
  5. "Hold On" (The most famous from the album, and a great dance song.)
  6. "Hopeless" (Depressing lyrics, but nice syncopation. This song goes hand-in-hand with If Only.)
  7. "I Don't Want You Now" (Great breakup song. It really gets the blood pumping when blasted.)
  8. "Saving My Face" (Another strong point. Powerful vocals and instrumentation.)
  9. "Beauty of Uncertainty" 
  10. "Someday Soon" 
  11. "Paper Aeroplane"
The last three songs I haven't listened to yet, simply because they are all mellow and not strong points of the album.
