A young female singer who isn' t obsessed with ex-lovers or world peace… just clever, soulful songs dealing with everyday issues.

She might be called the new Sheryl Crow by some… Truth is, Sheryl hasn' t done anything this cool in ages, so the position might be available. But calling her that implies she' s not original and that she' s sounding like someone else. This was one if the freshest releases of 2005 and if you still haven' t gone to the trouble to give the full CD a good listen, I suggest you do.

Eye To The Telescope is the debut album from Edinburgh-born singer / guitarist KT Tunstall. " Other side of the world" and Suddenly I see" are both playlisted by Jacaranda 94.2 and the station has received a few enquiries from listeners wanting to find how where they can get the CD. The surprising answer is that it is available everywhere… maybe not on the Top 20, but it' s there. Shock a CD shop salesman and ask for it by name. Then take a listen to it and you' ll find a young female singer who isn' t obsessed with ex-lovers or world peace… just clever, soulful songs dealing with everyday issues. At one point she sings "I'm struggling to cater for the space I'm meant to fill." Nothing could be further from the truth… there' s a gap for a fresh-sounding female star… and KT' s filling it nicely.
