The name might not be familiar, but I bet you’ve heard one of her previous hit songs, like the Grammy-nominated “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” “Suddenly I See,” Other Side of the World” or “Hold On“. Tiger Suit heralds the beginning of a new musical adventure for KT Tunstall. Organic instrumentation is blended with dance-friendly textures, the results of which she has dubbed “Nature Techno” to encapsulate the album’s collision of raw, upfront rootsiness and sleek electronic textures.
“Tiger Suit” marks KT’s third studio album and heralds the beginning of a new musical adventure for the multi-platinum, Scottish-born singer and songwriter. I received a copy from One2One Network for review, and gave it a thorough listen before writing this. While none of the songs on “Tiger Suit” felt as powerful to me as “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” or “Suddenly I See”, I think with a few more listens, it will grow on me. My favorite song so far is “Push That Knot Away”, here’s the video for it:
Why Tiger Suit? I got this from the Amazon.com page for the CD – 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.
