CD Review & Giveaway: KT Tunstall - Tiger Suit

Thanks to One2One Network, I recently received a copy of KT Tunstall's newest album, Tiger Suit, to review.


Tiger Suit is the third studio album from Grammy nominated Scottish born KT Tunstall. It's a little bit of a departure from her more bluesy style of music that you may remember from her previous two albums. Actually, it reminds me of music I remember being played in clubs back when I was in college. I don't know whether to think that this dates her music, or whether she's trying to bring back this vibe, or what have you - but we're talking well over a decade ago here. lol She calls it's "Nature Techno" - I'll call it late 90s club music. ;) (And you know what, the graphics look like something I would have created in one of my art classes back in college too - major deja vu here). Here's the track listing:

1. "Uummannaq Song"
2. "Glamour Puss"
3. "Push That Knot Away"
4. "Difficulty"
5. "Fade Like A Shadow"
6. "Lost"
7. "Golden Frames"
8. "Come On, Get In"
9. "(Still A) Weirdo"
10. "Madame Trudeaux"
11. "The Entertainer"


Surprise, surprise, my favorite track off the CD is "(Still A) Weirdo". In fact, I think I should make it the official theme song of my adult life. LOL! The first single, "Fade Like A Shadow", is doing pretty well on the radio, so I guess others are liking this sound for KT too.

Local folks, she'll be playing the Showbox Sodo here in Seattle on November 2nd. You can find KT over on Twitter, or follow her page on Facebook too.

Win it! One lucky reader will win a Deluxe Edition of KT Tunstall's Tiger Suit (it also includes a DVD features a 51 minute documentary about the making of the album, titled “How To Make A Tiger Suit”!) To enter, tell us what your favorite song from KT is or what you think of the new album if you've heard it yet.
