KT Tunstall-Drastic Fantastic

10/5

With the smash hit "Eye of the Telescope" being quite popular everywhere, KT has a huge fan base. And while i thought the first CD was very artistic but only had one colour, i tended to enjoy her singles. When Hold On came out, i was quite excited of its upbeat sound. The song is a different risk, which made it sink on charts, causing KT to be in the dark in the US and Canada. The fact that KT is simply not an extremely popular artist is a terrible occurence. Drastic Fantastic is anything but DRASTIC. It is by far the best CD i have ever heard. I say that a lot, but after a while...the CD ends on the shelf. Picture Eye to the Telescope as a beautiful painting, made up of one colour. The one you put up on the wall, but hardly look at. Picture Drastic Fantastic as a painting with rainbows of colours that you can't keep your eyes off until you're viciously pried away. But this painting is more beautiful than words can describe. Songs like "Hopeless", "If Only", "Paper Aeroplane", "Beauty of Uncertainty and "Someday Soon" kick you with a package of indepth lyrics and beautiful or catchy beats. Other Songs like "Little Favors", "Hold On", "Funnyman"and "I don't want you now" add a faster beat and make you want to play them again. Every single lyric on this masterpiece sheds light to the oh-so-dim world of music. Kt Tunstall makes Rihanna look like a salesman at Sears, and makes Kelly look like the runner-up of American Idol. The fact that KT is not popular enough to pull number one with this is sad, considering all the little Disney puppets have hit number one. This CD shows how simple the world is, in such a complicated time. And since Drastic Fantastic is KT's comic book life, than this CD is a comic book of what the world is. And a fantasy is what we needed after a summer of meaningless music. And perhaps that's why this CD deserves #1 at the end of the year. The world would be one big masterpiece..if more artists and people could understand that this music is made by a TRUE artist. Although that day will never come, as KT implies, perhaps a fantasy would help...
