Song of the Day: KT Tunstall, "Hold On"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:31:13 PDT

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?

Hot-nett Hates Global Warming

Molly — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 12:29:29 PST

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.

What's Buzzworthy: Girls With Guitars

BuzzSugar — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 16:42:22 PST

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."

To see the rest,

KT Tunstall, Eye to the Telescope. Bookmarked by Swwonder.

Jen Wood, This Uncontainable Light. Bookmarked by WhiplashGirlchild.

Eva Cassidy, Songbird. Bookmarked by Swwonder.

If you're still not sure how to create a Buzzworthy bookmark, don't worry: TeamSugar makes it easy to bookmark and capture anything on the Web that you consider "Buzzworthy." If you already have a "That's Fab" button on your browser's tool bar, you can use that to bookmark your Buzzworthy items. If you don't have the TeamSugar bookmarking button on your toolbar, you can learn how to get it by watching this video.

Becky Kirsch — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 14:00:16 PDT

Whether you loved it or loathed it, there's no denying that the Grey's Anatomy musical event gave us plenty to talk about. The episode showcased songs that have been featured on (and in a few cases, made popular by) the series, but some songs were more recognizable than others. It's hard to forget scenes like Denny's death ("Chasing Cars") or Meredith's bomb encounter ("Breathe (2 AM)"), but after last night's episode, I wanted to go back and see where some of the other songs came from.

Dress Like You Work at a Fashion Magazine (For a Lot Less!)

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 12:42:21 PDT

OnSugar blogger Beauty and the Budget creates five chic looks based on the style of fashion writer Esther Adams:

Anytime I see a fashion magazine employee's attire, I'm immediately reminded of the opening sequence in The Devil Wears Prada where you see all of the Runway magazine staffers walking out of their apartments to the beat of KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See." For me, this is much more invigorating than seeing celebrity style on the red carpet. I'm more into what the ladies at fashion magazines and style websites are wearing than what Kim Kardashian's stylist told her to wear for another event.
