The Scarlet Tulip EP

KT Tunstall

Seven tracks of pure, unadorned acoustic folk. No loops, no drums, just a voice and a guitar captured in a room with startling intimacy.

Find on Amazon

It's just KT and her guitar in a room, and it's the most beautiful thing she's ever done.

A quiet, deeply personal conversation between a singer and her instrument.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate fingerpicking on the title track that feels like a private lullaby.
The way her voice cracks slightly on the high notes of 'Hidden Heart' without any studio correction.
The haunting, sea-faring cadence of 'Shanty of the Whale' closing the record in total stillness.
