Description
The new album from Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall, gets off to a rollicking good start with “Out of Touch,” with its energetic, propulsive beat & tons of dynamics to surround KT Tunstall’s sumptuous vocals. It has all the necessary pop eccentricities to go mainstream & retain its identity with lots of inventiveness.
Never one for creative stasis, the Grammy-nominated musician is known for her dynamic live performances, and knack for balancing introspective folk and propulsive rock. “I feel there are two immediate, recognizable pillars of my style,” she says. “I have this troubadour, acoustic guitar-driven emotional side. Then there’s definitely a rocker side of me with sharper teeth.” Songs tease with danceable energy & keep the commercial silliness in check.
NUT is the third album of a trilogy which explores the Body, Soul, and Mind, that began over six years ago. 2016’s KIN was all about the soul, 2018’s WAX brought attention to the body, and this final installment, NUT, explores the mind. Like many musicians, KT started working on this record during the pandemic lockdown, while simultaneously writing a musical for the stage.
