On February 11, 2010 The Daily Record reported that Tunstall had recorded her new album in Berlin's Hansa Studios. The studio, next to where Berlin Wall stood, was used to make legendary albums including David Bowie's "Heroes" and U2's Achtung Baby. The album, titled Tiger Suit, was released by EMI in Japan on 22 September 2010, by Virgin Records in Ireland on 24 September 2010, in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2010 and in the United States and Canada on 5 October 2010. The album's first single was "Fade Like a Shadow" in the United States and "(Still a) Weirdo" in United Kingdom. The album features more contemporary ingredients than her previous work. Several tracks harness electronic beats to her acoustic guitar, but without losing her folk, alternative sounds. Tunstall said that the album's title is inspired by a recurring dream she had, before discovering that 2010 is the Chinese Year of the Tiger. The dream is about her, seeing a tiger in her garden and goes outside to stroke it. She returns indoors and is seized by the fear that she could have been killed. Over the years, it has occurred to her that the reason the tiger responds so passively is that she herself is disguised as a tiger, wearing a tiger suit.
