參加了今年平谷音樂節的朋友一定領略KT的風采了吧~

祖母是中國人、身上流有東方血液的KT Tunstall，出生于蘇格蘭古鎮圣安德魯St.Andrew。對于自己被領養的出身背景，KT Tunstall的人生態度卻依然很積極：“我很小的時候就常想像自己若被不同的人領養，便會有百萬種不同生活方式的可能性，這樣的出身背景憑添了我無窮的想像力，也更增添我生活的神秘色彩?！?

The Scarlet Tulip EP is a really special body of work for me.” says KT. “It’s the first time since I was very young that I’ve set about recording just my voice with finger-picked guitar. 6 of the 7 songs came into being during the year I spent writing for ‘Tiger Suit’. (‘Hidden Heart’ was a song written for Bruce Parry’s ‘Survival’ project, to try and gain land protection for indigenous people of the Amazon.)



I felt a creative need to do something impulsive and autonomous, so this EP is partly to celebrate embarking on my first major solo tour, but also to get the songs out there into the ether as I’ve always felt there is something special about sending new songs off into the world as soon as they are done. There’s something magical about it.



It was recorded by my husband and drummer, Luke Bullen, in our solar-powered studio in the woods in the English countryside.”
