Multi-platinum singer-songwriter KT
Tunstall will release her third studio album, entitled 'Tiger Suit', on September
24th, 2010, on EMI Music/Virgin Records.
After a highly successful
worldwide tour, the eco-minded Tunstall began demo-ing songs for 'Tiger Suit'
(a title inspired by a dream) in 2009 at the solar-powered recording studio she
has built at her home in the English countryside.
After pre-production
at London's Sarm Studios, the Scottish-born Tunstall travelled to Berlin to record
'Tiger Suit' over the course of three weeks in January at the world-famous Hansa
Studios, where several legendary albums, including David Bowie's 'Heroes', U2's
'Achtung Baby', and Iggy Pop's 'Lust for Life', were made. Finishing touches to
'Tiger Suit' were completed at London's RAK Studios.
The album
was produced by Jim Abbiss, known for his work with Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Kasabian,
Editors, and many more.
Describing the music as "Nature
Techno" (due to its blend of organic instrumentation and electronic, dance-friendly
textures), Tunstall co-wrote several tracks with A-list songwriter/producers Linda
Perry and Greg Kurstin, as well as her long-time collaborators Martin Terefe and
Jimmy Hogarth, both of whom contributed to 'Drastic Fantastic' and its predecessor,
2006's multi-million-seller 'Eye To The Telescope'.
Released
in 2007, 'Drastic Fantastic' debuted at No. 9 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart
and spawned the airplay smash "Hold On." Previously, 'Eye to the Telescope'
sold more than four million copies worldwide thanks to multi-media exposure of
its three singles, the Grammy-nominated "Black Horse the Cherry Tree,"
"Suddenly I See," and "Other Side of the World."

Suit' is available now!
