KT Tunstall | Tiger Suit


KT Tunstall just released her third studio album, Tiger Suit.

Taken directly from her website...  "KT Tunstall has had a recurring dream since she was a child. She sees a tiger in her garden and goes outside to stroke it. She returns indoors and is seized by the fear that she could have been killed. Over the years, it has occurred to her that the reason the tiger responds so passively is that she herself is disguised as a tiger. That she is wearing a tiger suit."

If you aren't familiar with her name, you will most definitely be able to recall hearing one of her pervious hits..."Black Horse and the Cherry Tree," "Suddenly I See," Other Side of the World" or "Hold On".  Her newest release is the dawn of a new era for KT Tunstall, deviating somewhat from her previous albums.  She has dubbed the sounds that fill Tiger Suit, 'Nature Techno'...combining organic instrumentation with dance-friendly textures, she has managed to create something that is fresh, raw.

The album's first single, “Fade Like A Shadow" quickly rose to a Top 20 radio hit!

“Making the album felt a bit like an archaeological dig, digging deeper to uncover what most turns me on.  The best way I can describe it is that I felt I discovered the indigenous part of myself by going back to campfire dance music just as much as club dance music. When I grind my boot heel into the floor it’s connected to when I went clubbing in Berlin. Losing yourself in the middle of nowhere around a fire is no different to losing yourself surrounded by hundreds of people on a dance floor.”  KT Tunstall

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by One2One Network on behalf of KT Tunstall. They sent me a copy of her new album, Tiger Suit to facilitate this review.
