KT Tunstall: Tiger Suit

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. The Brit Award-winning singer has tapped into that childlike boldness in the making of her third album. Tiger Suit heralds the start of a new musical adventure for KT, where organic instrumentation blends with dance friendly textures, the results of which KT has dubbed as 闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儱围缁炬壆纾猽re Techno闂. Elements of all the influences that make up 闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儱围缂佽泛鍩€er Suit闂 come together in the stunning first single (Still A) Weirdo, one of the last songs to be written for the album. A beautiful acoustic guitar line floats through organic and electronic rhythm sounds, while the lyrics are some of KT闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閺屻儲鍋 most personal and affecting. Of the song that is sure to strike a chord with many, KT says: 闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閼肩幓 had this idea when I was younger that you automatically became more intelligent as you got older. Indeed I am slightly cleverer, as I now know it was stupid to think that!闂 And looking back on the making of the album as a whole, she continues: 闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閼肩幓 really went out of my comfort zone and wandered off further than expected,闂 she says, 闂傚倷鑳堕崑銊╁磿閼煎崥缂佷礁宕 it made me realise I can do anything.
