"Wrapping up her Soul, Body, Mind album trilogy, Scottish singer/songwriter KT Tunstall delivered the final installment, 'Nut', after a profound four years of change that found the artist processing hearing loss, heightened self-awareness, new love, and a global pandemic. Diving straight into those experiences on opener "Out of Touch," Tunstall suffuses the LP with deep catharsis, emotional heft, and introspection, reflecting on both personal and existential upheaval. More polished and pop-oriented than its predecessors (...), 'Nut' amplifies the production pizzazz and injects programmed beats into Tunstall's typically rousing folk-rock, often channeling the experimental energy of her third set, Tiger Suit. Dance-centric pop gems such as the elastic dose of euphoria "I Am the Pilot" and the shimmering love song "Synapse" are some of the finest moments in her catalog".

"It only takes a few seconds for the fast, energetic beat of Out Of Touch to set the scene for the album. As the song builds momentum, synth pads peek through the mix, establishing the dancier feel of this record. The opening track really does charge up the album with floor-filling energy. This energy is continued with I Am The Pilot, whose shoe-shuffling synth patterns and bouncy rhythm are sure to bring any room to its feet. It is exciting to hear Tunstall's ability to send the listener into a gyrating frenzy come through in this record ... All in all, this album truly is a testament to Tunstall's success. Not only has she developed fresh ideas and brought a new style to her music, but she has also kept elements of her earlier work present, elating long-term fans and making the record her own. Listeners who have known of her ever since her first television appearance are sure to appreciate how far she has come".
