Curator's Note:
A few years ago, KT Tunstall was ubiquitous – on radio, on tour and on iPods. Her song, “Suddenly I See,” played over the opening scene of the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” and became a “girl power” anthem. There were more hits – “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” and “Other Side of the World” – and non-stop concert dates. Then she vanished. Her record label told her, politely, to take a break and “get lost,” which is exactly what she did.
Now, after roaming the world with her husband, drummer Luke Bullen and focusing on her songwriting, she’s back – with a new album, “Tiger Suit” and a wry perspective on her sudden fame. Tunstall charms “Quick Hits” with three new songs and talks to Mirissa Neff about staying “unglam” and authentic in the crazy world of pop.
Don't miss other Quick Hits starring Dengue Fever, Charles Bradley & Sharon Jones, Helene Grimaud, Jovanotti, KT Tunstall, Meklit Hadero, Ozomatli, and Seu Jorge. For more info visit the Sound Tracks website.
