Ivor Novello Award winning singer-songwriter and guitarist KT Tunstall unveiled her stunningly simple new music video for her soft ballad, "Feel It All," the lead single from 37-year-old Scottish songstress' upcoming and much-anticipated fifth album, straight from her heart, "Invisible Empire // Crescent Moon," which set to be released on June 10 in the U.K. and August 6 in the U.S., and will feature a more country folk sound than her previous album, "Tiger Suit."
Tunstall recently separated from her husband of four years, drummer Luke Bullen, and lost her father last year, new personal circumstances she hints at a more country folk sound from her. "So much has changed. I've followed my path and ended up in a different place" and she describes the album as "full of songs from the heart." This new single speaks of death, the memory, and how it will eventually cure the pain. It's a simple song, almost acoustic, in which the voice of the singer sounds more heartfelt than ever. An intimate production issue that moves between country, folk and blues.
"Feel It All" appears on the album in two versions; the original album version, with PJ Harvey collaborator John Parish on drumming duty, and the 'band jam' version, recorded live in the Arizona desert. Tunstall says of the track: "It's probably the most personal song on the album, it was really medicine for me, that song." The new album has been divided into 2 parts. The former, 'Invisible Empire' is the dark side, filled with mortality, a subject close to her heart following the passing away of her father last summer. The latter, 'Crescent Moon' included "Feel It All," evokes an ethereal mood, more reflective of deeply felt changes in outlook and shifts in her personal life. Together, they add up to Tunstall's most cohesive and affecting album to date.
This soft ballad reminds us of the Canadian Feist & the Georgian Katie Melua. Surprising but striking too. It's great to see Tunstall back on form with this gorgeous folk track and a beautiful video to accompany it. The video for "Feel It All," is 4 minutes and 10 seconds in length and shows Tunstall walking on a plank over the desert of Tucson, Arizona and it clearly shows she wants to "Feel It All". Warning - vertigo sufferers be aware! If you're a fan, check out the new video underneath.
