KT Tunstall is to release a new single from her critically acclaimed album 'Drastic Fantastic' on March 3rd through Relentless.
KT, winner of best female at the Brits 2006, has again been nominated in The Best Female category at The Brit Awards this year, and will follow up the release of 'If Only' with a full UK tour in April.
'If Only' is the third single to be released from Drastic Fantastic, and is undoubtedly one of the album's strongest pop moments, effortlessly merging the strength of KT 's trademark vocals with sugar-coated bv's, a hook-laden chorus and bittersweet lyrics. The CD and digital formats will be backed by KT's cover of The Bangles' 'Walk Like An Egyptian' (recorded live at Liverpool Academy) and the 7" vinyl will contain 'The Prayer' by Bloc Party as it's b-side (As covered by KT for Radio 1's Live Lounge).
'Drastic Fantastic', KT's follow up to her multi million selling debut, "Eye To The Telescope", was a Top 3 hit on its UK release last September, and also entered the US Billboard chart in the top 10. Produced by Steve Osbourne, it is an album full of powerful lyrics, bold colourful melodies and adventurous musicianship.
