New KT Tunstall - "Hold On"

On September 18th, KT Tunstall releases Drastic Fantastic and will attempt to replicate the lighting-in-a-bottle States-side success of "Suddenly I See," the song your sister fell in love with after watching The Devil Wears Prada and Grey's Anatomy. Of course Hollywood caught on to the track a year after its release, so LA readers, forward this to your showbiz friends in eight months or so. As for the lead single, it's certainly not bad (it's got a beat and you can dance to it, sorta), but don't expect to see the Ethridge-tinged Lilith fare to get quite as much mileage. At least, not for a year or so.

Her vocals sound really natural live. I really hope she can make another album as good as Telescope.

my sister? not that i'm particularly enamored of devil wears prada or kt, but, like, i'm sure there are SOME chicks on here reading about music, or even, shockingly, some MEN who like KT. I know its all so below the acceptable level of music snobbery to admit liking a pop-star. What an ignorant, misogynistic throwaway comment, gum. I'm ashamed of you.

KT is not and will never be a pop star.... her stuff is so far from what can be called pop... some people are so know it all.... just because one song was seen as pop does not mean it is.... narrow minded....hmmmph
