Review
Since I review so little female artists, I thought some positive discrimination wouldn’t hurt … so I present to you Drastic Fantastic, the newest album of KT Tunstall. She had a major hit with ‘A black horse and the cherry tree’ (and also ‘Suddenly I see’) and great commercial success with her first album. But does her second album ‘Drastic Fantastic’ meet the high expectations set after her first success? The first thing you notice about her new album, is the fact that it’s more conventional pop-rock and less drastic (!) and stingy than her previous album. A lot of songs are a bit too commercial and radio-friendly in my opinion, but sometimes you also get lovely folk-ish songs (like White Bird). These introspective folky songs are also the best songs on this album, although they don’t keep lingering in your head, as any really good song should do. Nice mainstream pop-rock with a bite & enjoyable floating acoustic ballads: that’s what you can expect of this album and nothing more. Have fun with the album!

My favorite song: 3. White Bird, 10. Someday Soon
