Kat McGivern Review & Giveaway

**CLOSED**

I love music, I listen to it while at the grocery store, driving in the car and often times when I am cleaning house! When you hear an artist that you love, what do you usually do? I share!

Kat McGivern is a sassy, spunky, fun and talented musician. She not only sings, plays guitar and the keyboard, she is an awesome songwriter too. She is Boston based and started her career at 13, performing at local mic nights. Kat taught herself traditional Gaelic ballads and shortly after started classical training. She eventually abandoned classical music and college to record her first album. She then quit music for two years to go back to school and realized that it was music she loved.

'Kamikaze Heart' was released November 23, 2010 along with 7 other songs. 'Kamikaze Heart' is about her inability to walk away from the things she loves. It reached the Top 10 on FMQB's AC Top 40 chart.

Kat said, 'I see myself a bohemian Judy Jetson with a bad attitude,' and that's how I would describe her and her music. Bohemian but with a good attitude! Her unique sound is what makes me love her and her music.

Tiger Suit-KT Tunstall Album Review

KT Tunstall is a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum, Scottish born siger-songwriter with such accomplishments as 'Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,' 'Suddenly I see,' 'Other Side of the World,' and 'Hold On.' With another great album to add to her musical accomplishments, 'Tiger Suit' is unlike any of her of her other albums in my opinion. The genre is pop/rock and I love the uniqueness of this album from her others because of the difference in her voice and the music. I love it when you can hear the raspy-ness and this album gives me that. Whether she is standing there playing guitar or backed with a band-this album is by far my favorite!!
The first time I listened to the 'Tiger Suit' album I was on an hour drive through the canyon and figured it would be the perfect opportunity to listen to the whole thing without being interrupted. I popped the disc in and had to take a second look to see if it was the right disc. I was used to KT's music being more of a 'country' sound and feel. So when I popped the disc back out and looked at it and seen that it was KT-I popped it back in and turned it up! I got into it and I found a few favorites: 'Diffculty,' 'Fade Like A Shadow,' 'Lost,' okay so I like the whole album!

KT's new album 'Tiger Suit' was released on October 5th and her first single 'Fade Like A Shadow' is a Top 20 hit on the radio.
KT is hitting the road with her new album playing 17 U.S. cities. For the latest news, tour dates, tickets, and more visit KT's official website, follow her on Twitter and 'like' her on Facebook.

Tiger Suit heralds the beginning of a new musical adventure for KT. Organic instrumentation is blended with dance-friendly textures, the results of which she has dubbed “Nature Techno” to encapsulate the album’s collision of raw, upfront rootsiness and sleek electronic textures.

This is one of my favorites from her album. Give it a listen and let me know what you think?

My overall review of 'Tiger Suit':
Buy it! If you liked her albums before your going to like this one even more. It not only can be played in the car, but with the girlfriends and in the club!
