NEW KT TUNSTALL!!!

So, I wrote this over 3 weeks ago but that doesn't really matter because this is still new. In FACT, (patting myself on the back), this album hasn't even hit the states yet. It hits stores August 6th. So, technically you heard it hear first. How's THAT for new? :D On to the post!

Okay, I'm not gonna lie-- and KT, if by some miraculous turn of events you ever read this, I'm sorry-- but I didn't actually like her last album all that much. There were only 2 or 3 songs on there that I could really get behind. She still put on an amazing show but I was hoping for more of her previous albums' stuff. I'm okay with artists expanding their sound/ style and growing into other directions as long as their core/ essence stays relatively close to what made them unique & attractive as a musician in the first place and they don't make a complete departure from who they are/ why I liked them to start with. In that light, Tiger Suit was a little too "out there" for me. HOWEVER, that being said, THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING!!!

Here's the PLAYLIST - My favs from her album.

So, I'm not going to attempt a well-composed, overly flowery and verbose review here. I most definitely could but I'm too lazy to write something like unless I absolutely have to (I really think it detracts from the music/ the artists' offering when people dissect and deconstruct it to death)... Much better, in my opinion, if you offer some general observations and let the audience decide for themselves. At any rate, suffice it to say, BUY IT! It's fanTASTic. It's laid back and chill without being sleep-inducing, boring background music. Her slower songs on her previous albums (while I love them also) tended more towards that, I think. DIG her sound but not every song was a hit and some of them, although awesome, were sort of more background-ish. But this album, even though they're slower, they really STICK. Very well composed, and crafted. As always. Have a listen. They're great. The whole album can be found HERE.
