As a purveyor of summery, chimey, jangly pop songs, KT Tunstall has been a ubiquitous and inoffensive staple of radio for the last couple of years. This second effort takes a turn for the ambitious – it’s not just a collection of songs, it’s a statement of intent from the newly confident, fully empowered KT. I am Tunstall, hear me roar! The trouble is, we usually prefer her to be harmonising wistfully rather than roaring, so the stadium-fillers on this outing feel somehow strangely out of character.
