OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD - KT TUNSTALL
Thanks to the surprise runaway success of KT Tunstall’s debut, “Black Horse & the Cherry Tree” — originally launched as a setup for “real” hit “Suddenly I See” — Virgin found itself in the enviable position of starting the new year with a platinum Grammy Award-nominated artist. Third single “Other Side of the World” is less polished vocally yet delivers a handsome, relaxed acoustic performance, spit-shined with Don Henley-esque guitars, atmospheric midtempo sway and an imminently singable chorus that gently lifts the song to the clouds. “Other Side” has already spent 20 weeks one triple-A (adult alternative album) radio, and certainly will click on mainstream radio as well.
