I had KT Tunstall's "Eye To The Telescope" album on my wish list for quite a while, and I finally broke down and purchased it from Amazon.com; and I am glad that I did!
I first "discovered" KT while watching "So You Think You Can Dance." Her song "Suddenly I See" (She's a beautiful girl) was the song that was played during the video compilation for departing girls.
The album is full of great songs. Her style is somewhere between folk and pop with occasional bluesy influences.
I listened to snippets of her "second" album, which was originally only available from her web site, and wasn't as impressed as I was with her first one. All of the songs are very folksy with minimal production. Usually this is just up my alley, but I guess in KT's case, I like a bit of the pop component and production enhancements.
She has recently released a new album titled "Drastic Fantastic" that does seem promising. I have only heard snippets of the songs, but at first blush, quite a few of them were enjoyable. About half of the songs have similar styles to the "Eye To The Telescope" while the other half tend a bit more toward pop/rock.
