Tigermouth (so named for the lead singer's unique canine teeth dentition) is the first solo studio album by singer-songwriter Kelli Ali released in 2003.

Contents

Previously, Ali was the lead vocalist for Sneaker Pimps, a trip-hop group, who are best known for their 1996 hit single "6 Underground".

Ali co-produced and co-wrote the album with internationally renowned producers, Rick Nowels and Marius de Vries.

Singles released off the album include, "Kids", "Inferno High Love", and "Teardrop Hittin' The Ground".

Overview

Tigermouth was recorded primarily in Los Angeles at the home studios of hit-making producer Rick Nowels[1]. Nowels' knack with radio-friendly hooks and the sunny climate of L.A. clearly informed Tigermouth, which is a bright, lush, and unabashedly pop-oriented record. Tigermouth stands in stark contrast to the moody, atmospheric sounds associated with Ali's Sneaker Pimps recordings.

However, because of this new sound and her high-profile collaborators, some in the British press dismissed the album as a blatant grab for "mainstream" success. Ali herself responded to this criticism a year later on her website:

Tigermouth was not a commercial success upon its release, despite its radio-friendly disposition.
