KT Tunstall's fifth studio album, "KIN," is a vibrant and uplifting collection of songs that mark a new chapter in the Scottish singer-songwriter's career. Released on September 9, 2016, this album is the first in a trilogy that also includes "Wax" and "Nut," both released in subsequent years. Produced by Tony Hoffer and recorded in Los Angeles, "KIN" showcases KT Tunstall's signature guitar pop sound with a fresh, sunny California twist.
The album opens with the infectious "Hard Girls," an anthemic track that sets the tone for the rest of the record. "Maybe It's A Good Thing," the lead single, is a catchy and optimistic tune that reflects Tunstall's positive outlook following a period of personal loss and reflection. Other standout tracks include the introspective "It Took Me So Long To Get Here, But Here I Am" and the soothing "Love Is An Ocean."
"KIN" is a celebration of self-acceptance and new beginnings, with KT Tunstall's powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics at the forefront. The album's themes of positivity and personal growth are evident throughout, making it a refreshing addition to Tunstall's discography. With its blend of rock, pop, and indie influences, "KIN" is a testament to KT Tunstall's enduring talent and her ability to evolve with each new release.
