She combines a formidable voice with a rarefied command of phrasing. [Feb/Mar 2006, p.106]
-
90A delicious blend of acoustic guitar, raw grooves and sublime melodies. [11 Feb 2006]
-
80A bunch of amazing songs that combine the passion of early Sinead O'Connor with the craft of Christine McVie. [Jan 2005, p.124]
-
80Tunstall has Norah Jones's throaty catch, Dido's warmth, plus a winning way with a soaring chorus. [Jan 2005, p.130]
-
More pleasant than persuasive. [10 Mar 2006, p.69]
-
70Beautiful songs one and all, there's much to recommend "Eye To The Telescope", and given enough time and patience, Tunstall's subtle charm seeps through making it an album to love.
-
A promising, satisfying debut.
-
70Unfortunately, [producer Steve Osborne] seems to have sanded down all of KT's rough edges.
-
67The disc is made up mostly by mid-tempo classic rockers and sweet nothing ballads. Disappointing? Well, yes.
-
60There are two even matched KT Tunstalls on her debut album: One borrows from Chris Martin's bag of shopworn metaphors... The other one is more unsettling and more intriguing. [Apr 2006, p.118]
-
If she doesn't quite justify her place in the company of Antony & The Johnsons' I Am A Bird Now or M.I.A.'s Arular on the short-list for the Mercury Prize, Tunstall certainly holds her own against the likes of [Kelly] Clarkson and [Sheryl] Crow.
