“I made this record very differently from any other I’ve ever made. I’m usually in the studio 16 hours a day for a month straight, leaning over the producer’s shoulder, being deeply involved in every single aspect, sound, beat, strum of the record,” KT Tunstall tells me, candidly, in the Zoom call connecting our rooms in Los Angeles and London together. Her latest album, NUT, is the culmination of seven years’ worth of hard graft and the third and final instalment of her self-described “holy trinity” of records. She sought to take a fresh approach this time around. The final piece of the project, NUT nurtured the beloved singer-songwriter through tough weather.
