KT Tunstall is one of many artists set to perform at the Nobel Peace Prize concert for Al Gore on Tuesday (December 11) at the Spektrum Arena in Oslo, Norway. The Scottish singer songwriter spoke with Artisan News Service about the opportunity. “The Nobel Peace Prize was a great surprise for me,” Tunstall said. “I was invited to play by the organizers. Obviously it was an environmentally themed prize this year and I was absolutely delighted to be invited. To be associated with that cause is really important to me.” The concert will also feature Melissa Etheridge, Annie Lennox, Alicia Keys, Earth Wind & Fire, Nick Davies, Juanes and Junoon.

KT Tunstall talked with Artisan News Service about recording her new album ‘Drastic Fantastic’, and how she didn’t like spending time in the studio. “I’m still very, very unaccustomed to working in the studio,” the Scottish singer/songwriter admitted. “I don’t particularly like it, yet. I’m very impatient, and I find it frustrating. And I find it way to analytical. My acoustic record I loved, because we recorded an album in a day. You sit and play the songs, and press record, and then you have an album at the end of the day. That’s how always recorded songs when I was growing up as a musician. This whole kind of sitting down with the math, and the science of it… and I can hear it makes a great sound, but I can’t say I enjoy the process very much.” Watch the interview at YouTube.
