Tunstall announced the release of Nut on 28 May 2022,completing her trilogy of albums based on "soul,body and mind",with Nut being about the mind. [2] Tunstall started working on the record during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdown,alongside writing music for a musical. [1]
The album was written and recorded during a profound period of change for Tunstall,including hearing loss,heightened self-awareness,love and a global pandemic. [3]
The album artwork was created by Josh McCartney. [4] On naming the album,Tunstall declared "nut" is a word that refers to mind or brain in Scottish slang. She also states "I love that the word also means a seed –the album artwork is all about the brain being a garden;you reap what you sow,you need to keep the weeds at bay,and there is an almost supernatural beauty to when things blossom". [5]
Tunstall released three singles from the album prior to its release:"Canyons","I Am the Pilot" and the lead single "Private Eyes" –a true story "of a starlet lost in her own fame,and my getting a glimpse of her gilded prison..." [6] A music video was released for each single.
Tunstall announced her first UK tour since the pandemic to accompany the album,including shows in York,Manchester,London,Edinburgh and Glasgow. [7] [8]
Neil Z. Yeung of AllMusic cited two of the singles,"I Am the Pilot" and "Canyons" as highlights,as well as the album opener "Out of Touch" and "Synapse". [3]
John Apice from American Highways described Tunstall's vocals as "sumptuous" and mentioned the songs "tease with danceable energy &keep the commercial silliness in check". His highlights include "Dear Shadow","Demigod" and "All the Time". [9]
