Tiger Suit by KT Tunstall- CD Review

If you liked the hit singles of "Suddenly I See," "Other Side of the World" and "Hold On," then you're going to love KT Tunstall's newest work entitled Tiger Suit.  I was recently granted the opportunity to review the complete album for my readers and I'm more than anxious to share my opinions with you all.

It has been 3 years since the multi-platinum artist's last release, but the wait does not disappoint, in my opinion.  The Scottish born singer-songwriter-guitarist has shaken things up a bit in this new release, as far as style goes.  Tiger Suit (which refers to a recurring childhood dream of KT's) embraces organic and electronic sound into a style that Tunstall has personally labeled "Nature Techno."

Not only is her musical style more unique this time around, but the artist has poured more emotion and soul into the lyrics of every song.  All eleven tracks of the album continue to showcase her powerful, smokey voice, of which I am a big coveter fan.  I've had a rather difficult time choosing a favorite on the tracklist, because I have honestly enjoyed ALL of them.  But if I had to choose, I'd only be able to narrow it down to three: ""Fade Like a Shadow," "Difficulty" or "Push That Knot Away."  "Fade Like a Shadow" has already become a favorite of many KT listeners, as well, which explains why this single has already grabbed a spot in the Top 20 radio charts.

All in all, this girl is ridiculously talented and Tiger Suit proves that once again.  I have no doubt that this new release will continue to skyrocket its way to the top of the Billboard charts.

One eskimO

Anybody out there bored with their current music collection?  If so, I've got a new release to share with you:

I have to confess that until I received the invitation to review this album, I had never heard of this critically-acclaimed English band.  But they have been knocking down the charts with the adult alternative song, "Kandi."  The talented group is made up of four guys, with singer/songwriter Kristian Leontiou in the lead.

One eskimO performed for over 300,000 people in the US & UK last year, opening for big names such as Tori Amos, Bob Schneider, and Gomez.  They are currently opening for Michael Franti and Spearhead through June 2010.

In my opinion, One eskimO's self-titled debut album is creative, relaxing, and vocally sound.  It's one of those cds I'd carry along for some down time at the swimming pool or beach.  A few of the tracks are a tad on the weirder artsier side of the spectrum for me, but nothing over the top.

This album is currently available at Target, Best Buy, Borders, and Barnes & Noble, or can be downloaded from iTunes.  If you'd like to hear a taste of the album before purchasing, then check out their video for "Kandi" below:
