Tutti is a studio album by English musician Cosey Fanni Tutti. It was released on 8 February 2019 through Conspiracy International. Despite her prolific output in the bands Throbbing Gristle and Chris & Cosey, Tutti is her first solo album in 36 years, since 1983's Time to Tell.[1]

Production

The release follows the publication of her autobiographical book Art Sex Music in 2017.[2] According to Tutti, this album is a summation of her life's work, expressing both her past and her present being.[1] The album was originally composed as the soundtrack to Harmonic COUMaction, an autobiographical film shown at the opening ceremony of Hull UK City of Culture in 2017.[2]
