Feeling a little sluggish this morning, I was glad to come across this KT Tunstall single posted on Stereogum because it quickly got me up and running. What's more, I can finally replace "Suddenly I See," Tunstall's majorly overplayed single which, while I enjoyed it the first time around, now causes me to actually sprint out of stores when I hear it piping through the speakers.
"Hold On," will be released on Tunstall's next album Drastic Fantastic, available September 18. If this track is any indication, I'm definitely intrigued to hear the rest of the album. There's a great beat that makes you just want to move, and Tunstall's vocals are much sultrier than they are on "Suddenly I See."
The whole feeling of this song is sort of fun-dangerous, making it perfect for placement in TV shows and movies. Tunstall's already clearly on Hollywood's radar, having had "Suddenly I See" placed in The Devil Wears Prada, "Grey's Anatomy," "Ugly Betty," and "The Hills," among others, so I fully expect to hear "Hold On" on TV before too long. I'm guessing it'll find its way into "Gossip Girl." Any other predictions?

This song and her voice somehow reminds me of Amy Winehouse's Rehab song. Though I like KT more than Amy.
1Hey this really got me jamming in my chair! Can't wait for the rest of KT's music to drop.
2When is the gossipgirls show on t.v.? I still have yet to catch it and I keep forgetting to look it up on Tivo!
3hey fashionhore, it starts this sometime this fall, so you haven't missed anything yet!
4i was a little nervous about her sophmore album but i'm loving this song. I'm excited about the next album
5Loving this song, can't WAIT for the album to drop!
6I like "Suddenly I See", too, but I've never gone out to buy that album or taken the time to really look at the words to the song. What's it about?
7One of her songs is the song of an internet provider publicity in France! it's not so bad...
8Tchan01 and I were JUST talking about this song the other day!!! I love KT ... and only she can pull off gold leggings with major sass and aplomb!!! Love it.
9Thanks Buzz.
10its not bad, but still not great.
11KT is a true rocker despite pop-infused Prada hit. Black Horse is still infectious and that is a very stripped down jam. Love her!
12Despite the HORRIBLE title of her new CD (not to mention her very questionable fashion choice in the photo above), I actually like the song. I am always curious to hear what kind of sophomore effort these artists with one or two hits on their debut albums will turn out, and based on this single, I am impressed.
13Great song!
