Tiger Suit is the third studio album by Scottish singer KT Tunstall. It was released by EMI in Japan on 22 September 2010, by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2010 and in the United States and Canada on 5 October 2010. However despite these release dates, iTunes Canada has the album available for pre-order with an arrival date of September 28, 2010 a full week before the release of the physical disc.
"Fade Like a Shadow" was lead single in the United States and was released on 6 August 2010 via iTunes, and "(Still A) Weirdo" in the United Kingdom was released on 30 September 2010 via iTunes.
On July 2010, as advance to the album, Tunstall uploaded via YouTube a video for the song "Push That Knot Away". On 6th September 2010, Amazon.co.uk released a bonus track called "It Doesn't Have To Be Like This (Baby)" as a free download pre-release track of the album, available only in the United Kingdom.[3] The same track along with LCD Soundsystem's live cover "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" from The Hiro Ballroom are available on the Japanese edition of the album.[4]

Background

On February 11, 2010 The Daily Record reported that, " 'KT TUNSTALL has recorded her new album in Berlin's famous Hansa studio. The studio, beside the site of the Berlin Wall, was used to make legendary albums including David Bowie's Heroes and U2's Achtung Baby. Kt said: "I had an amazing three weeks recording in Hansa in Berlin in January and am finishing it all off in London." The Scots singer, who has been quiet of late, reassured fans she has been busy. She added: "I am still very much alive and have every music-making limb and muscle working in my laboratory of fierce-new-album-ness." Before her album comes out, KT played a stripped-down set at the Haiti fundraising gig at the Roundhouse in Camden on Thursday February 25. She hoped to jump up with her old pal Seasick Steve for a song or two. Kt added: "My shizzle will feature some new faces and definitely some new songs, so come and have a listen and chuck some dough at a good cause." '
