Drastic Fantastic, her sophomore album, may be inappropriately named, however. If anything it's a less drastic record than its million-selling predecessor Eye To The Telescope, opting instead to follow a more conventional pop-rock template. In this sense it's as far away from KT's roots in Fife's alt-folk Fence Collective as Land's End is from John O'Groats.

That said there's much to enjoy about Drastic Fantastic. Unlike her debut it feels like an album made to play live, with "Little Favours" and "If Only" showing off her excellent backing band, including Tunstall's drumming beau, 'lucky' Luke Bullen. Elsewhere Willy Mason lends his vocals to the jaunty "Hopeless" - returning KT's appearance on his last single - whilst the bluesy stomp of single "Hold On" is infectious.
