Her debut album ‘Eye To The Telescope’ is the creative consequence of that inquiring imagination. “My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories,” she explains. “They’re kitchen table songs, like a conversation between me and one other person. It’s almost like an alien has been sent to get emotional samples from human beings and put it all together on a record.”
Since completing ‘Eye To The Telescope’, life has been a blur of gigs, first as support to Joss Stone, then a tour of Europe, singing with ‘klezmer hip-hop’ band Oi Va Voi, who ignited the Avalon Stage at Glastonbury.
“It was blazing sunshine and I went on in a turquoise neck muff, glamorous dress and muddy boots and just had the best gig, really emotional. I’ve had emails from people saying that they cried. They promised it wasn’t the drugs.”
Now KT is raring to channel all her infectious energies into her own music. “I’m not exactly sure what has driven me so hard,” she says. “I’ve never questioned it. I’ve never had a back-up plan. I was never going to do anything else.”
