Summary: This music makes it fun to go through your everyday!!!
Comment: First time I came across KT Tunstall, was after watching the movie the Devil Wears Prada, which I loved for the fast-paced reality it portrayed and that I myself live in everyday. I basically loved all the music in it and was looking to buy the soundtrack originally but came across the wird fact that one of my favorite songs of the movie WAS NOT actually in the soundtrack so I decided to do some research and came across TD Tunstall.I herd the amazon samplers and pretty much found I loved her entire album, so I ended up buying it and loving it everyday.This is a definite must buy for the busy business woman trying to make her day a a fun one.Higly recommended.

Summary: This is an extremely talented woman!
Comment: Tunstall has an exceptional stylistic range. Each song could be a different performer. This makes this CD a joy to listen to the first time but you'll listen to it over and over and over. She's a gifted songwriter, singer, and musician. She's rare.

Summary: By SAS
Comment: Great voice. One of my favorite songs on the CD is 'Heal Over'. The lyrics hit home. Love, life, loss, longing, searching.... I'm entertained and I'm glad I bought it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is a great album...
Comment: I am so happy to have stumbled upon this album. I heard about it via the single, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree". While I still like this song a lot, it is not representative of the album. KT Tunstall is a great song writer, and has a wonderful voice. I will continue to listen to this album for years to come.

Comment: I have been looking everywhere for this particular CD and it is one of the best in my opinion. She has a unique style and I love listening to it.

Editorial Reviews:

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
