Advantages: Foundations is great

Disadvantages: Some poor support records

It seems like the secret these days to get pop success is to either appear on a TV reality show or to build up a following on myspace and Bebo and get some recording success that way.

Kate Nash took the latter route which will probably mean she has a longer shelf life that some of the output from reality TV however in my opinion she will need to improve on this her debut album.

As debut albums go it is not all bad however it does feel slightly like the album was rushed out to take advantage of the runaway success of the singles in that there is not enough depth to the other tracks which fail to lend any support to the rather good songs that made it into the charts.

Her style is the fake cockney twanfg of Lilly Allen and Jack Penate who were fellow success stories from myspace. Foundations is by far the best song on the album with the over flowing lyrics it is a grea song. I also found Birds and We Get on to be enjoyable well structured records however Shit Song and Merry Happy were either accurately titled or did the opposite for me and both were rather weak.
