Info for Face To Face

Rock history finds a harmonious friendship on Face To Face, an exhilarating creative collaboration that unites formidable talents from two different generations - KT Tunstall and Suzi Quatro.

An album of original duets, penned by both KT Tunstall and Suzi Quatro, Face To Face delves into themes of love, loss, fear, and triumph, resonating deeply with their shared experiences as trailblazing women in the world of rock and roll. Guided by Suzi's son, LR Tuckey, who serves as the producer, the album is a testament to the resonant bond between these two kindred spirits. Quatro expresses her early admiration for Tunstall: "I was a fan of KT from the first hit - liked her voice, her songwriting and her musicianship. We are indeed cut from the same cloth which is where our artistry met and flourished. A match made in heaven." Tunstall echoes this sentiment, describing the collaboration as a "beautiful flow state of friendship and creation."

"Shine A Light" and "Truth Is My Weapon" stand as sterling examples of the magnetic synergy forged by Suzi and KT as they embark on this musical journey together, recording side by side in England. The album's lead single, "Shine A Light," accompanied by a visually captivating music video, embodies a powerful message of self-love and resilience. Delving deeper, it also encapsulates the liberation from those who seek to hold you back. Tunstall elucidates, "Suzi and I shared our own stories of experiencing this, and how we’ve both learned to only let those people in who want to see good things happen for you." Quatro adds, "We wrote this song about recognizing and allowing that 'special' light inside of us to shine. And, as the lyric says…'shine a light on me, or let me be.' Amen."

Face To Face epitomizes the extraordinary fusion of music and shared narratives, solidifying the bond between these two trailblazing women who have both shaped the rock landscape in their own distinct ways. Recording within the intimate confines of Suzi's home, the record unfolds in a natural, candid manner, capturing the essence of camaraderie and artistic kinship. The album's melodic fabric is woven with anecdotes, conversations, and a palpable sense of mutual respect.

As KT Tunstall and Suzi Quatro embark on this harmonious voyage, their music becomes a testament to the universality of experience, an anthem for those who have dared to conquer, to love, and to rise above. Face To Face is more than an album - it's a testament to the enduring power of creativity, camaraderie, and the unbreakable bonds of rock and roll.

She was raised in a musical family, including 3 sisters and one brother, who all played various instruments. Suzi herself made her debut on stage playing bongo’s in her fathers jazz band, "The Art Quatro Trio".

From an early age she studied classical piano and percussion, then aged 14, began an all girl band with elder sister Patti, called "The Pleasure Seekers".

From 77-79 Suzi spread her wings and landed a part on the worldwide hit TV. series ‘Happy Days’, playing Leather Tuscadero opposite Henry Winkler and Ron Howard.

It was in this band, a couple of years later, that Mickie Most, (producer) came to a concert, and offered Suzi a solo contract. She flew to England in 1971 to begin her journey to fame.

Soon after Suzi began working with now legendary songwriters Chinn and Chapman (Mike Chapman also produced) , which resulted the huge hit, “Can The Can”, which went to number one in May 1973, and went on to sell two and a half million copies worldwide.

KT Tunstall
burst onto the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut,Eye to the Telescope, which spawned the global hits "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See." These songs established Tunstall as a captivating, must-see performer, as well as a Songwriter with a singular knack for balancing introspective folk and propulsive rock. "I feel there are two immediate, recognizable pillars of my style," she says. "I have this troubadour, acoustic guitar-driven emotional side. Then there's definitely a rocker side of me with sharper teeth."

In the last few years, the GRAMMY-nominated Scottish Musician has expanded on these musical selves by focusing on a trilogy of records, where each album zeroes in on a single concept: soul, body and mind. The first, 2016's KIN, was the soul record; 2018's WAX was the body record, and the new NUT is the mind record.

Produced by Martin Terefe, who co-wrote her 2005 global hit "Other Side of the World," NUT draws on Tunstall's love of percussive West African grooves as a metaphor for the learning patterns of the mind, and is an eclectic album that seamlessly weaves together disparate styles. She found her writing mojo thanks to "Canyons," a song propelled by a grimy, heavy rock riff. In keeping with NUT’s theme, the song's lyrics are about the canyon-like physiology of the brain, and explore the parallels between humans developing unique identities and the way nature evolves and is shaped over time. Elsewhere, NUT’s lyrics and sound delve into KT’s own personal evolution, and the way we all evolve through the repetition of behaviors and our reactions to life experiences. "Private Eyes" grew out of Tunstall's brush with the vampiric downside of fame, while "Three," summarizes the arc of the trilogy, inspired by a journal practice where she would write multiple entries on one topic from the different perspectives of mind, body and soul.

"It was necessary in the circumstances to make NUT completely differently from any other record I’ve made," Tunstall says. "But I was excited and ready for that. The reason I pursued music was because I had to avoid a repetitive job. I need to feel a constant sense of exploration in life. I've realized you can easily fall into repetition even in this job. And so forNUT, I was like, 'Come on, let's do what we said we were going to do. Let's push into something new.' What’s always most important is making an exciting, meaningful record that I love, and to have fun while I’m doing it."
