Wow, that's a load of different ideas right there
And still we all like Tiger Suit the same!

It's probably unfair to want an artist, especially one as restless and forward-looking as KT, to go backwards to a sound she used to have, but if she were to at least revisit and recapture that vibe from Black Horse, I'd be thrilled. I heard it come over the PA system in a supermarket last week and it STILL blows me away. It grabs you like nothing else she's done; the way her voice really lets rip and the whole style is very direct.
So yeah, maybe an EP with her and the wee bastard reunited
EG.
Black Horse is an odd one for me, I remember hearing it the first time and I just thought 'what's with the woo hoo's?!' and stopped it

(teenagers are that harsh I guess

) Now I still don't really listen to it much even though I enjoy it when it comes on randomly, it's one of the few off ETTT that I used to skip, but at the same time live it's one of my favourite tunes!!
I agree with the wee bastard bit though. Although I REALLY used to miss it with Drastic Fantastic mostly, not so much on the tours this year at all. But it used to be why I really disliked the backing singers

Wee bastard betrayal!!
Oh and re blues, I think she does it really well and her voice is great for it, but it seems so straightforward for her to do so that I'd be quite bored with it soon I think.
But yeah Paul, the way she uses her voice in those clips I totally missed!! She's been singing differently and I don't like the new style as much as how she used to sing. It's not her natural/relaxed sound, and that's just the most beautiful part of her voice! I also got the impression that she'd really worn out her voice a bit at the end of tours this last year, but I'm not sure if that's cause of using it differently or if that's normal. Maybe it's to be expected with so many shows!
I'd also REALLY like it if she'd do her own stuff in the style she covered the Simple Minds in. Gorgeous

And she should totally continue with the awesome backingvocals!!
