Smart, catchy, and all together drastically fantastic is the only way to describe KT Tunstall’s second album. Yes, it’s called Drastic Fantastic, but heck, I can see why. Rarely does anyone put out a second album better than their first, but this is one of those special moments. I really like it!

The single, Hold On, is incredible, and sticks to you more than that glue you use to slather all over your hands and then peel off. The lyrics are fabulous, well thought out, and smart. She has definitely come out of her shell and has proven to be my exception to the rule that most female singer-songwriters are just crap. Uhoh, I can hear someone out there saying “but what about…!” I just don’t care for most of them though, and feel that their looks and sultry singing style gets more attention than their music. However, back to KT, she is fab, and you should all know it!

I especially liked Somewhere Soon. It is a beautiful song and you kinda get that feeling that she really enjoys playing that one. If you can get the album, great, however, go and see her live, as I am sure all the energy this album has will translate well to the stage!
