VIA PRESS RELEASE | Brit and Ivor Novello Award-winning artist KT Tunstall is reissuing her debut album Eye To The Telescope for the first time since its original release in 2004 to coincide with her 2019 UK March tour via UMC. The album, pressed on striking transparent red vinyl, features hit singles “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” “Other Side Of The World,” and “Suddenly I See.”
Following the immense success of her debut, KT outsold every other female artist in the UK in 2005, won the 2006 Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, won the Ivor Novello Best Song award for her huge, self-penned hit “Suddenly I See,” and a Q award for Track of the Year. She also landed a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and lent her tunes to a host of movies (The Devil Wears Prada), TV shows and Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign theme song.
Over the next decade, three further critically acclaimed albums followed; Drastic Fantastic, Tiger Suit and Invisible Empire//Crescent Moon in 2007, 2010 and 2013 respectively, keeping the platinum sales rolling and cementing the Scottish singer-songwriter’s reputation as a major recording talent, as well as a mesmerizing live artist.
This past year, KT released her 6th studio album WAX, out now via Rostrum Records. WAX, landed at #30 on Billboard’s Independent Albums Chart and the single “The River” sits at #21 on Billboard’s AAA Songs Chart.
KT’s latest body of work is a trilogy of albums following the themes of soul, body, and mind. Released in 2016, the first album KIN, covers the theme of the soul and received rave reviews. The second album in the trilogy WAX was released in October 2018 and focuses on the body and our complex relationship with physicality. WAX was featured on Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’ playlist in a dozen countries worldwide, receiving critical acclaim from both national publications and specialist music outlets in both the UK and USA.
Recently KT has been awarded the Inspirational Artist gong at the Women In Music Awards. She was also chosen as the first ever female Grand Marshal (following the likes of Sir Sean Connery) to lead April’s annual New York Tartan Week parade. In May she and Mike McCready, of legendary multi million selling Pearl Jam, also released a cover of Tom Petty’s huge hit single “I Won’t Back Down” with proceeds going to Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy Foundation.
