Brit and Ivor Novello Award-winning artist KT Tunstall is thrilled to unveil an orchestral remix of her single “Little Red Thread” with video.
The immediately engaging opening track of KT Tunstall’s 2018 full length offering WAX gets an impressive orchestral makeover with Matthew Sheeran’s Remix, employing TheBudapest Scoring Orchestra to accompany KT’s gritty and impassioned vocals. Still delivering the same lyrical punch, this remix is a sparse yet rich re-imagining of one of WAX’s most arresting tracks. KT explains: “It took my breath away when I heard the orchestra playing with just my vocals on top for the first time. There is such a specific feeling when you hear orchestral strings; you are immediately transported, transfixed, and swept up on whatever wave they decide you should ride. The emotion they provide sits so perfectly with the essence of this track, all the while the strings mirroring the little red threads.”
| “KT Tunstall Channels Warrior Energy In Her New “Human Being” Video” – Nylon “…’The River,’ an inspirational, anthemic, emotionally charged song that puts KT’s immediately recognizable voice at center stage. At once, it grabs you with a synth hook for a few quick seconds before KT’s powerful voice takes over. The song builds with rocking, rhythmic guitar textures and an infectious chorus that you always expect from her. “The River” powerfully delivers on the promise of the album’s concept. The guitars rock and the subject matter touches on salvation, sin and being saved.” – NPR #20: The 40 Most Anticipated Albums of Fall 2018…”Tunstall is back with the inspirational and emotionally charged song, bringing the same energy and powerful voice that scored her a pair of top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hits more than a decade ago: “Black Horse & The Cherry Tree” in 2006 and “Suddenly ISee” in 2007. “The River” builds up with rocking, rhythmic guitar textures and a catchy chorus that is signature of her work.” – Billboard “’The River’ is musically reassuring, precise and pretty. Tunstall constructs the track methodically. At first her voice is accompanied only by a repetitive line on a synthesizer; after close to 20 seconds, a ringing electric guitar and an easygoing bassline join the fray. A breathless drum pattern, played largely on a cymbal, and a jangly rhythm guitar come next; the final touch is polished backing vocals, which serve to add a slick, radio-ready veneer.”– Rolling Stone The latest album not only marks chapter two of the trilogy but also a new chapter in Tunstall’s own life. Needless to say, things are on the up and up. – Huffington Post June 14, 2019-Brit and Ivor Novello Award-winning artist KT Tunstall is thrilled to unveil an orchestral remix of her single “Little Red Thread” with video.
