Eye to the Telescope, KT Tunstall's debut album, first appeared in December 2004 and got a fresh push from Relentless the following January, and it's the Scottish singer-songwriter arriving fully formed, all brassy hooks and folk-rock grit. Steve Osborne produced, and the title reaches back to her childhood around her father's physics lab at the University of St Andrews.
The door swung open with a solo performance of "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on Later... with Jools Holland in 2004; that raw, stomping blues-pop number went on to win a Best Track award. "Suddenly I See", bright and breezy, took the Ivor Novello for Best Song, turned up in The Devil Wears Prada and became a campaign song for Hillary Clinton in 2008. Five singles came off the album, a Mercury Prize nomination arrived, and more than five million copies later it stands as the 51st best-selling album of the decade in Britain.
