KT Tunstall

Tunstall

announced her fourth album Invisible Empire/Crescent Moon on social networks, with a teaser telling the story of her new album, inspired by a trip to Tucson, Arizona. An initiatic trip, looking for a new sound, folk & country that already appeared on her 3 albums, mostly on her third, Tiger Suit (2010).

KT Tunstall completely abandoned pop arrangements, like those we heard on her early single "Suddenly I See" (2006), from her debut album Eye To The Telescope, released in 2005. The first single "Feel It All" is now available & should be the lead single. This soft ballad reminds us of the Canadian Feist & the Georgian Katie Melua. Surprising but striking too.The Tube look @ this

Amazon unveiled the video for the lead single from her forthcoming second album, Music to Make Boys Cry, which is due out this Autumn.

Her Cinderella video takes us to the magical world of masquerade balls and searching for Princes.

It's a take on the classic fairy tale and Diana describes the romance saying: "Cinderella is about being in love and not caring about any of the material things in life, just wanting to be with that one person you adore."look @ this

"It's about being prepared to lose anything and take every chance to be with them".The Tube

The Wanted

Amazon Max, Jay, Siva, Nathan and Tom hang like puppets on string as in N'Sync's Bye Bye Bye, don all white outfits to dance around an airport as seen in Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way, and trade in their super cool leather jackets for parkas, fur hoods and a spot of singing in the rain as per Take That's Back For Good.

For The Wanted lads who normally have fairly simple music videos, we think this is pretty refreshing! We like it. Lots. The TuBE

Alicia Keys

Amazon he Big apple native turns an alley into her stage as she busts out some fancy footwork alongside her dancers. Dressed in a gold top and liquid leather pants, Keys belts out the motivational lyrics to the inspiring anthem as graffiti writers tag up concrete walls with her words.
Shots of the Manhattan skyline and the busy city streets appear and the songbird even performs a concert for devoted fans.
‘New Day’ arrives shortly after the debut of her Maxwell-assisted visual for ‘Fire We Make,’ which also rests on her ‘Girl on Fire’ album.

Texas

Amazon are no strangers to adversity – after their debut hit I Don’t Want A Lover it was almost 10 years until they achieved mass success again. That song’s earthy charm and slide guitar had been largely replaced by polished and programmed pop by 2005, so it’s something of a surprise to discover that the bulk of The Conversation is the result of a collaboration with Sheffield troubadour Richard Hawley (not so much of a surprise from his end though, given his work with artists as diverse as Shirley Bassey, Arctic Monkeys and Robbie Williams). It all makes sense with the lead single and title track which, with its twanging, swampy guitar hook, somehow manages to recall early Texas yet sound thoroughly modern. It’s a compelling pop song, as tight as stretched elastic. It and the insouciant ‘50s vibe of Dry Your Ears reveal that Spiteri and co haven’t lost their knack for melodies that lodge in your brain.The Tube

Jamie Cullum

Amazon  I’d wager that Momentum – his first album since 2009’s The Pursuit – is his bid to reclaim some of his lost musical credibility.

He’s roped in cool producers Jim Abbiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele) and former Gorilla Dan The Automator (Kasabian, DJ Shadow) and selected the distinctly uncommercial Love for $ale, featuring British rapper Roots Manuva, to be the album’s lead-off track.

He hasn’t thrown the baby out with the bathwater, though, making sure the album still overflows with upbeat radio-friendly tunes (Edge of Something, When I Get Famous, new single Everything You Didn’t Do) and some ballads for good measure.The Tube

Amazon the track will also be released as part of an EP on July 8th. The track is the first to be taken from her anticipated second album and was chosen as the first single as a "tribute solely to her fans as a thank you for their constant love and support". The -Tube
