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?

Josh Less-Hot-With-Moustache-Nett and KT Tunstall (of that one song you hear everywhere suddenly I see, this is what I want to be fame) were in London today to officially launch Global Cool, a ten year initiative to end global warming (clever name, eh?). Josh regaled the crowd with his story of owning a Prius way back in 1999 while KT probably sang that one song a few times.

Actually, it sounds like Josh was pretty adorable up on stage talking about his environmental efforts, finishing up his speech by saying, "I’m just trying to do my best and if everyone wants to follow suit then that’s cool." You know what would also be cool, Josh? Introducing your upper lip and chin to a razor.

For last week's Buzzworthy challenge, I asked you guys to bookmark your favorite albums by girls with guitars. It's tough to resist a solid album from a good female singer-songwriter; some of my favorites include Cat Power, Aimee Mann, or that old standby, Tapestry by Carole King. Here are some of my favorite picks from BuzzSugar readers.

Giant Drag, Hearts and Unicorns. Bookmarked by WhiplashGirlchild.

Jewel, Pieces of You. Bookmarked by Missyosigirl, who says "The last time I saw Jewel was that she was scantily clad dancing with a bunch of backup dancers with her! Now I miss Jewel and her guitar."
