KT Tunstall
A coworker leant me his copy of KT Tunstall's album Eye to the Telescope yesterday. It's great! I had my doubts and misgivings - entirely because Ms. Tunstall is hitting big right now. Perhaps it's my squirrelly nature, but I tend to steer clear of the popular music scene. This quirk has served me well in the past.
Ms. Tunstall is a Scottish 'folk pop' singer songwriter. So it's not surprising I like her as I'm really a folk music person at heart. I have two minor issues with her music.
One - She doesn't have a groovy cool Scottish accent when she sings. No idea if she has one when she talks as I haven't listened to any interviews. My other beef is that the latter half of the album her voice sounds similar to the ...vocal stylings of Joss Stone. I can't stand Joss Stone. She oversings and her voice is too raspy. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me. Now KT's voice isn't that harsh, but I can see it heading that way, if she's not careful. Steer clear of the dark side KT!!
