'Straight from the heart' is how KT Tunstall describes the songs on her fourth studio album Invisible Empire, Crescent Moon. The singer had not had an easy time since her previous album Tiger Suit. Her father passed away in 2012 and a year later she divorced her husband and drummer Luke Bullen. The rough period was an important inspiration for this album. In terms of genre, she returns to the music
… where she started to gain great fame, subdued country and American roots music. The album cover largely betrays this. Invisible Empire, Crescent Moon is not a feel-good album, but can be called a masterpiece for the emotion and simplicity of the songs. The Scottish singer gives herself completely on this album and sprinkles with emotionally charged songs such as Made Of Glass and Old Man Song. Especially on the heart-rending Yellow Flower she knows how to give goosebumps. 'Straight from the heart': Tunstall's description exceeds all expectations. (BvdV)more
