Her songs are licensed for use in TV ads, but her cred remains unvarnished. Even a hiatus form the pop music scene \u2013 taking time to study film scoring \u2013 hasn&#8217;t put a dent in her popularity. Her latest record, <i>KIN<\/i> finds Tunstall putting the film scoring lessons she&#8217;s learned to practical use in service of pop songs. The album&#8217;s statement of purpose is \u201cIt Took Me So Long to Get Here But Here I Am,\u201d but the strongest cut is the opener, \u201cHard Girls,\u201d with a <strong>T. Rex<\/strong> foundation supporting a modern pop delivery. Throughout <i>KIN<\/i>, Tunstall demonstrates that 6 albums in, her pop instincts and writing skills are sharper than ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>File next to: Regina Spektor, Fiona Apple Scottish-born Tunstall is that rarest of artists: she enjoys critical praise while scoring on the commercial side of the equation.
