KT
Tunstall
burst
onto
the
music
scene
with
her
2004
multi-platinum
debut,
Eye
to
the
Telescope,
which
spawned
the
global
hits
"Black
Horse
and
the
Cherry
Tree"
and
"Suddenly
I
See."
These
songs
established
Tunstall
as
a
captivating,
must-see
performer,
as
well
as
a
Songwriter
with
a
singular
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.
"In
the
last
few
years,
the
Grammy-nominated
Scottish
Musician
has
expanded
on
these
musical
selves
by
focusing
on
a
trilogy
of
records,
where
each
album
zeroes
in
on
a
single
concept:
soul,
body
and
mind.
The
first,
2016's
KIN,
was
the
soul
record;
2018's
WAX
was
the
body
record,
and
the
new
NUT
is
the
mind
record.
Produced
by
Martin
Terefe,
who
co-wrote
her
2005
global
hit
"Other
Side
of
the
World,"
NUT
draws
on
Tunstall's
love
of
percussive
West
African
grooves
as
a
metaphor
for
the
learning
patterns
of
the
mind
and
is
an
eclectic
album
that
seamlessly
weaves
together
disparate
styles.
She
found
her
writing
mojo
thanks
to
"Canyons,"
a
song
propelled
by
a
grimy,
heavy
rock
riff.
In
keeping
with
NUT’s
theme,
the
song's
lyrics
are
about
the
canyon-like
physiology
of
the
brain,
and
explore
the
parallels
between
humans
developing
unique
identities
and
the
way
nature
evolves
and
is
shaped
over
time.
Elsewhere,
NUT’s
lyrics
and
sound
delve
into
KT’s
own
personal
evolution,
and
the
way
we
all
evolve
through
the
repetition
of
behaviors
and
our
reactions
to
life
experiences.
"Private
Eyes"
grew
out
of
Tunstall's
brush
with
the
vampiric
downside
of
fame,
while
"Three,"
summarizes
the
arc
of
the
trilogy,
inspired
by
a
journal
practice
where
she
would
write
multiple
entries
on
one
topic
from
the
different
perspectives
of
mind,
body
and
soul.
"It
was
necessary
in
the
circumstances
to
make
NUT
completely
differently
from
any
other
record
I’ve
made,"
Tunstall
says.
"But
I
was
excited
and
ready
for
that.
The
reason
I
pursued
music
was
because
I
had
to
avoid
a
repetitive
job.
I
need
to
feel
a
constant
sense
of
exploration
in
life.
I've
realized
you
can
easily
fall
into
repetition
even
in
this
job.
And
so
for
NUT,
I
was
like,
'Come
on,
let's
do
what
we
said
we
were
going
to
do.
Let's
push
into
something
new.'
What’s
always
most
important
is
making
an
exciting,
meaningful
record
that
I
love,
and
to
have
fun
while
I’m
doing
it."
