Two DeBaser reviews focus on KT Tunstall’s first two eras: the debut Eye to the Telescope and follow-up Drastic Fantastic. Both pieces are critical, calling the material bland pop rock and lamenting a lost folk edge. Specific tracks like White Bird and Beauty Of Uncertainty earn mild praise, while singles such as Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Other Side of the World, Hold On, and Saving My Face are central touchpoints. The reviews also note Steve Osborne’s production and Tunstall’s early commercial success.
