KT Tunstall
When KT Tunstall shouts “Hey!” at the beginning of “Hard Girls,” the opening track of her splendid new album KIN (Caroline), it’s an effective way of getting our attention and saying, “I’m back! Attend up!” The dance-break in the middle of the lyric is also an efficient way to reel us in and get us moving. If you’re looking to boogie along to Tunstall, you may accomplish so to “Maybe It’s A Excellent Thing,” “It Took Me So Elongated To Get Here But Here I Am” and “Run On Home.” Tunstall’s also known for her sensitive and insightful side and it comes through on “Turned A Light On,” the James Bay duet “Two Way,” “Love Is An Ocean” and the pleasant title tune. I had the pleasure of speaking with KT about the new album, her career and more in August 2016. [Tunstall performs on Sept. 21 at House of Blues in Chicago and Oct. 3 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles.]
Gregg Shapiro: KT, I’d like to commence by thanking you for not quitting music professionally as you considered doing a couple of years ago.
KTT: [Big laugh] It’s turning into my very great pleasure.
GS: Good! So you feel like you made the right decision?
KTT: Yeah, definitely. It was a very bizarre sen
Being Queer in… Music
Editor’s Note: For our Being Queer in… we’ve hand-selected some incredible people to tell their stories and give us candid accounts of the queer life in the resourceful industries. Being Gay in… is inspiring, raw, and dripping with authenticity.
For Being Queer in… Music we hear from UK musician Dylan Holloway. Dylan discusses how his life as a gender non-conforming guy led him into a experience in music, why being labeled as “gay” was easier for people to understand, and how lockdown changed everything.
Radiating positivity from the beaches of Cornwall to his sold-out London shows, this is a must-read for the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies.
From around the age of three or four, I grew up with the internal certainty that I was a boy. I was sure of it, I knew it, but there was one giant problem, I was born inside a girl’s body.
Where perform you start?
How perform you begin to process this, grant alone announce it to anyone else, when no one around you, in fact, no one you’d ever heard of, felt this way?
I developed a method of “telling people, without telling people.”
Whether it was in the clothes I bought, the toys I played with, the nicknames
Singer KT Tunstall admits having sapphic flings while studying in Glasgow
The 43-year-old was married to drummer Luke Bullen but divorced five years ago.
KT Tunstall says she had lesbian flings as a student in Glasgow.
The 43-year-old rocker, from St Andrews said: “I’ve never considered myself a locked-down straight person. I’ve had relationships with girls.
“I went to Scottish Youth Theatre and it was weird if you didn’t receive off with everybody. It was more unusual to be straight.
"I do attach with being heterosexual now but women are able to captivate in a different way from men.”
The singer told how on her 11th birthday party she had a Grease-themed party. But while her girlfriends went as Pink Ladies she went as John Travolta’s character Danny Zuko.
She was married to drummer Luke Bullen but divorced five years ago.

Look, it's not us that's obsessed with the sexuality of the second-string of pop performer: it's you. And them.
Anyway, the singer who launched a thousand Google searches conclusion in "gay?", KT Tunstall, thinks she knows why so many people appear convinced she's gay.

No.
Is it because she, you recognize, looks a little love one?
Nope.
Is it because they confuse her with Alex Parks?
She doesn't think so.
No, the reason why KT thinks so many people assume she's gay is her braces:
KT believes she unintentionally sent out mixed messages about her sexuality when she wore a pair of rainbow-patterned braces - a homosexual symbol - on her record cover.
She says she only realised the implications when a friend in the US sent her a text saying: "The girls in San Francisco are loving your braces."
Those braces have helped construct her an enormous queer woman following - that's lots of lesbians, not one giant lesbian - which has given her a problem: how to maintain the girls onboard without actually pretending to be a lesbian. KT has her way:
"I was on stage in Dublin when I heard a miss in the c
