a little hint about who is coming up to
fill this seat on today's show I think
we have a little music track we can play
don't use the trash
[Music]
okay she's a grammy-nominated musician
known for songs like black horse and a
cherry tree and suddenly I see she's on
tour right now promoting her brand new
album
please welcome singer/songwriter KT
Tunstall the Houston life change from
the last time I saw I'm like a different
person well you look fabulous you know
every time I hear this song by the way
it makes me want to watch Devil Wears
Prada exactly so many women all over the
world catwalking their way to work to
that song super cool well speaking of
super cool you were super cool you're
super nice Katy brings nice to a whole
new level when your career will really
exploded it was a little more than a
decade ago right and you already had a
following at that point but was there a
time when you woke up and you said holy
cow everybody knows who I am it does
happen to me now and then when I have
that pinch me moment where I'm looking
at maybe watching a TV show and I hear
my music playing or I'm looking at this
crowd I'm like everybody knows my stuff
but it's funny because sometimes people
know the song but they don't know who
sang it so I've met people at parties
and they'll go what do you do and I'm
saying oh I'm a singer and they go would
I know you and I'm saying yeah the star
of Devil Wears proud and they go oh
you're on my iPod how funny and it's so
weird if you have a song that's that big
that everybody knows all over the world
they sometimes don't know who the singer
is it is true everybody around the world
does that song now talk to us a little
bit about your tour because I know
tonight you're performing at the Heights
theatre but life on the road is not easy
right I think it maybe seems a little
more glamorous from the outside but so
but it's the thing that I always have to
plug into is I do I love and that gives
you so much energy and tolerance for
anything that goes on but you know
living on a bus there's six of us and
that's pretty good there can be up to 12
people living on the tour bus and you
all get along there's some there's some
bathroom rules on a bus okay which is no
paper no paper
and nothing more than paper no paper
like no toilet paper
garbage wait the whole I mean RV people
who do our Beatrice will know all about
it
but so you know and sometimes there's no
shower in the venue so I'm very lucky to
have a shower on my boss at the moment
which is but it sounds like it's it is
it's basically rock and roll camping the
life of a rock star yeah we know we do
have some exclusive behind-the-scenes
footage Katie that you haven't seen this
before of some of your backup singers in
rehearsal so we want to roll this clip
[Music]
Tinkerbell and the legend of the
neverbeast these are my niece's they are
gorgeous when they sound amazing well
and in the car seat you can't see but
the one-year-old was singing along as
well and that was the first time I hit
because I hadn't seen Tinkerbell at that
point is it interesting to you that you
have fans that are as young as my nieces
but also I mean you span the generations
it's really funny because you know a lot
of bands are looking to have a cool
crowd and they only want young young
kind of you know between a certain age I
want everyone at anyone to come to gigs
and one of the things I love most about
gigs is that often kids will come with
their parents so it's like sometimes
it's 20 year olds with their parents
often 7 year olds with the parents
sometimes it's sport there was one guy a
14 year old guy who came with his
grandma because he was into all my tech
and my looping and she just loved the
songs and so I love the fact that it
speaks to different generations and it's
actually something that people can come
and enjoy together it's a riot we have
such a good time but yeah again I'm
young it's singing along even if you
can't flush the toilet paper down the
toilet oh you know so if you visit your
friends on tour you will know the pro to
the behind-the-scenes yeah okay so we
want to put up an image of your album
cover because this is what you're on
tour right now promoting wow there's a
rock star right there super cool so you
have such a wide range in terms of I
mean we mentioned the Disney movies
we've mentioned you know big screen
blockbusters how would you categorize
this album if you had to narrow it down
this is definitely my harder rock record
so what I've done is I've embarked on a
trilogy so it this is the second album
of three and the first one was all about
the soul and the spirit this one is
about the body and the next one's gonna
be about the mind you're so deep I just
needed to challenge myself
I'm much better under pressure so I
needed to give myself a bigger project
and I'm loving it
and I love Star Wars and anything that
comes in you know longer game stuff I
really enjoy box that's all good well
that
now I know what to get you for your
birthday body record this is all about
physical and electric guitar and broken
ice I have just a quick quick list of
