Music reviews of Eye to the Telescope
Music Review: This album is epic!
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is epic. Each song is individual and a true gem. These songs are timeless, anyone could find enjoyment in this album. It isn't often that I find an album that I like every track on. Its not often that I find an album that I can listen to non-stop for over a year. This album fits those descriptions. It is going to be my go-to album for years to come. The lyrics are innovative and individual. You can clearly see that KT put her heart and soul into this album. The music is masterfully composed. This is more than a folk rock album, it is adult contemporary at its best.
Don't base this album on its most popular single "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree". That is my least favorite song on the album. It stands out as very different from the rest of the tracks. The rest of the tracks are more mellow and haunting.
Check it out!
Description of Eye to the Telescope
KT Tunstall's debut album Eye To The Telescope is the creative consequence of her inquiring imagination. "My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories," she explains. "They're kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It's almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record."

If the art of the female singer-songwriter revolves around coffee-table soliloquies then Eye to the Telescope--the debut album from Edinburgh-born chanteuse/guitarist KT Tunstall--is a pleasing mediation between the traditional demands of brooding egocentricity (espresso) and frothy commerciality (cappuccino). KT Tunstall has star quality. "Suddenly I See" is an effortlessly liberating pop fillip while, conversely, "False Alarm" redresses ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" for losers who had nothing to lose to begin with. However, Tunstall isn't entirely convinced by the compromise ("I'm struggling to cater for the space I'm meant to fill" she sings) and "Miniature Disasters"--one of several strong numbers showcasing her aptitude for wrapping up pop tunes in either folky bluesiness or ponderous jazz--catalogues her desires for unfettered self-expression. The opening cut "Other Side Of The World" might sound like Dido without the giftwrapped grief (she's none too flattered with the comparisons) but Eye to the Telescope is spiritually closer to Carole King and Elvis Costello than Katie Melua. And that's no bad thing. --Kevin Maidment
