KT Tunstall - Drastic Fantastic

Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall burst onto the public consciousness in 2006 with her gritty debut album Eye to the Telescope, a provocative sonic mesh of heartfelt pop, rootsy, electric blues, and left-field alt-rock.

Eye spawned three hit singles - the Grammy-Award nominated Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Suddenly I See, and Other Side of the World - all of which became omnipresent on radio, television, movies, and the Internet. Thanks to the multi-media exposure, Eye is certified platinum in the U.S., with worldwide sales exceeding 3.5 million copies.

Her follow-up, entitled Drastic Fantastic, showcases the 31-year-old's growth as both a songwriter and musician on songs like the thumping Hold On, the rollicking Saving My Face, the jazz-inflected Someday Soon, and the frisky pop gem I Don't Want You Now. I wanted to be braver, Tunstall says of the album. 'I wanted to push the musicality. You can't let previous success scare you away from moving on.'
