Not content with getting (Tiger) Suited up for a North American tour, TMS’ favourite St Andrean songsmith is getting ready to share the love with everyone who can’t make it along to her current set of dates. Later this month KT will be performing at London’s HMV Forum, and the performance on the 8th March will be recorded and made available for sale via Sandbag. CD and Digital pre-orders for the gig are being taken, and they’ll also be available for purchase on the night.
You have to hand it to Miss Tunstall, who’s shown a pretty savvy approach to maximising the revenue from her recorded work. As well as the three studio records (four if you count both versions of Eye to the Telescope with their differing performances of “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”), there’s been 2006’s KT Tunstall’s Acoustic Extravaganza and 2007’s Have Yourself a Very KT Christmas/The KT Tunstall Holiday Collection (with its unforgettable version of “Mele Kalikimaka (Christmas in Hawaii)” and its forgettable version of “Fairytale of New York”). That’s in addition to the various flavours of live EPs which have made their way into the world via iTunes. Say what you like about KT, but the lady knows how to get her work out there.
Coming early next month will be a collection of La Roux’s b-sides, remixes and acoustic songs and a whole bunch of other stuff.
I loved the eponymous debut, and this will surely fill a gap before the second record. Hurrah! &c.
In addition to things like a version of “In for the Kill” featuring Kanye West, the download-only release will feature video, photographs, and artwork (click through for the tracklisting).
Elly Jackson from La Roux has teamed-up with Chromeo to produce a redux version of their single ‘Hot Mess’ featuring her distinctive vocal talents. Apparently the English, electropop singer enjoyed the song so much, she offered to record the new version, which you can sample above. Listen to the original from the album Business Casual in the video for the song below.
