The Scottish singer-songwriter that brought the hits “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree,” “Suddenly I See” and “Hold On” is back with a sting.

KT Tunstall, 35, has just released her third LP, poignantly titled “Tiger Suit.” The album features a brand new sound and perspective for the artist.

The project represents a vision of interesting proportions, one which graces the listener from its brave beginnings to its humble ends. From the first track “Uummannaq Song” to the assertively written “The Entertainer,” Tunstall shines with sheer brilliance.

She admitted that for “Tiger Suit,” she wanted to achieve a sound that is not harmonious with the safe haven she usually approaches songs from.

For this reason, she enlisted a number of international musicians who helped her achieve this goal. From Linda Perry to Jim Abbiss, from Greenland and Berlin to the U.S., this album truly shows a world well traveled.

Recorded at the Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, the album achieves the brilliance of the world acts, who have recorded albums in that same space. Sitting next to the Berlin Wall, the famous German studio gave birth to David Bowie’s “Heroes” and U2’s “Achtung Baby.”

On this album, Tunstall flirts with what she accurately named “Nature Techno,” which is a very organic approach to electronica that still retains the folk/rock/blues style her fans know her for.

The singer achieves what few of her contemporaries have been able to do: She is able to skillfully marry the experimental and alternative sound of electronica with a unique brand of folk that would make Bob Dylan proud.

Songs like the lead single “Fade Like A Shadow” and the entertaining “Glamour Puss” show the artist flirting with a sense of liberation she may have been cautious to touch before.

Not to say that this album is perfect, but it is the closest that music has gotten in a while.

Tracks like the haunting “Golden Frames,” as well as the raw “Madame Trudeaux,” showcase a different side of Tunstall. The singer-songwriter lets loose and sings from her gut, not aiming to achieve the perfect sound, but merely sincere emotion. These songs give the listener a peek at the new attitude of self-reliance Tunstall gained from recording the album.

“I’m still a weirdo, after all these years.” Tunstall claims on “(Still A) Weirdo.” She definitely is, and we love her for that. “Tiger Suit” is fantastically brilliant, an experiment of an artist not trying to impress anyone. The album stimulates and challenges our senses, leaving us wanting more.

“Tiger Suit” was released on Oct. 5 in the U.S.
