KT On What a Hit Song Means to Her
Well, my experience of it is a song that really transcends you, who you are, your name, where you're from, how it was made, and it gets completely adopted by millions of people in a way that it is extremely meaningful to them and it's a flag in the sand of a time in their life or it's a soundtrack to a very difficult period or a very joyful period of their life. It becomes this kind of talisman for people. And actually, you've really got not very much to do with it at all. It's their own very private personal relationship with that song. And of course many fans will know who I am, but there's definitely been times …
I remember going to a party in the early days with my good friend, Kevin Divine, great singer/songwriter. And we went to some girl's birthday party on a rooftop in New York, and she said “Hi, what do you do?” I said, “I'm a singer songwriter.” She said, “Oh, do would I know your music?” And I'm like, “Did you see Devil Wears Prada?” And she's like, “Oh my God, you're on the party playlist.” And so my song was on her party playlist for that evening, but she had no idea who sang it. And that to me is kind of what a hit is, where the song actually separates from the umbilical chord and just becomes something much more kind of omnipotent. And I mean, my experience of it just is a ticket to ride, man.

The charming Scottish singer-songwriter walks us through her intricate pedalboard and wows us with her ingenious, seemingly effortless looping skills.
KT Tunstall is a fearless musician. Each night she builds complex loops that could spin out of control at any second. A great guitarist, percussionist, singer and writer, Tunstall won a BRIT Award for Best Female Artist and the European Border Breaker Award. While on the tail end of her 2018 tour, Tunstall was kind enough to take PG’s John Bohlinger through her rig and reveal the mystery of her live loops.
