Music reviews of Eye to the Telescope
Music Review: Never to old to discover
Rating: 5 Stars
a great CD. I have heard of KT Tunstall but never really had the want to get her album. I am a 1956 gal and what I grew up with is what I like and want. I heard about her with the black horse and a cherry tree. Did not understand that song, but it was catchy. Now that song has been out for how long and I finally am checking out KT.
Within the past two months, I was going on Amazon to listen to music and she popped up. Well I listened to the samples and by golly, I liked the upbeat and bought it. This CD has been with me at work and my car and I have yet to get tired of it. As another reviewer wrote..hard to categorize, but upbeat, not loud, easy to sing to. This gal has broken my mold of music that I listened to in the past.
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
