Brit and Ivor Novello award-winning ‘Suddenly I See’ singer, KT Tunstall, will be performing at Guilfest on Sunday 6th July at Stoke Park, Guildford. The Scottish born singer-songwriter will be entertaining the masses with her hits both old & new. We got to catch up with the Scottish hitmaker for this exclusive interview:
THIS YEAR MARKS THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF YOUR HIT DEBUT ALBUM, ‘EYE TO THE TELESCOPE’, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE BEEN IN THE LIMELIGHT FOR TWO DECADES NOW?
KT: I’m feeling extremely grateful for this long career doing what I love. It can’t happen without the support of fans and people continuing to relate to what I’m making, and my favourite thing about all of it is that I’ve made the things I’ve wished to make and have the freedom to keep doing that. I feel very, very lucky in that.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CAREER HIGHLIGHT?
KT: It’s hard to say as there’s been a few, and each has been incredibly special in their own way at that time. The most recent would have to be the Ivor Novello Award for ‘Outstanding Song Collection’. It was so unexpected, and I felt very loved on receiving that! Song-writing craft is the soul of all of this for me, and to be celebrated for that aspect meant a huge amount.
WHAT INSPIRES YOU WHEN WRITING MUSIC?
KT: Nature, memorable phrases, very specific and personal lyrics, stories, memories of moments of emotional intensity, and always struggle and pain; when you can transmute those things into something useful and beautiful, it feels like you’ve done something right.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SONG TO PERFORM LIVE & WHY?
KT: I have to say ‘Suddenly I See’ – it’s such a fun song physically to perform, the swing, the execution of the rhythm, but also looking at all these grinning faces, everyone singing along, looking at everyone remembering what the song reminds them of, where they were, it’s fantastic fun.
