====================
Kate Nash
====================
Kate Nash is the cockney singer/song writer most well known for her smash hit 'Foundations'. It was this track that made this album so popular, gaining Kate a huge fan base and probably a lot of money! She has become part of the Myspace generation along with other famous names who start off at the website. Her style of indie-pop is clever enough to be popular with the non conformists and cheesy enough (in places) to appeal to a wider audience. To date she has only released one album:
Made Of Bricks (2007)

My Favourite Tracks
====================
====================
02. Foundations
====================
I don't love this song as much as I did but when it first came out it was amazing! Unfortunately I spoiled it for myself by having it on non stop repeat for about a week but it was good while it lasted! Lol. The thing that first attracted me to this track was that brilliant cockney accent belonging to Kate Nash! At that time the only singer like this was Lily Allen (in the mainstream anyway) but to me it was something fresh and new, also the song was (IS) incredibly addictive. "Thursday night, everything's fine except you've got that look in your eye when I'm telling a story and you find it boring you're thinking of something to say, you go along with it then drop it and humiliate me in front of our friends". 9/10.

====================
03. Mouthwash
====================
I don't know why I like this song. However, I REALLY do! It makes no sense, she sings about mouthwash, cups of tea and dental floss! Not really the ideal foundations for a song (see what I did there? Lol!). Anyway, you'd think that it wouldn't be good but it really works well. It's just a pop song that everyone can sing along to with that trademark Kate Nash edge. "I use mouthwash, sometimes I floss, I've got a family and I drink cups of tea". 10/10.

====================
04. D**khead
====================
I really shouldn't like this track but I do. It's actually one of my favourites. There's nothing unique or special or outstanding, it's just a great track with lyrics that are not just any old rubbish. I can't post any of the lyrics for obvious reasons but it is definitely worth a listen. Except if there are little ears around!!!!! 10/10

====================
06. We Get On
====================
THE best cheesy pop song ever created in my opinion. Towards the last part of the track it comes across quite obsessive and a bit scary, it's a brilliant song. It's one of the more up beat pop style songs on Kate's debut album but in my opinion it has the best written lyrics, definitely worth a listen! 10/10.

====================
My Overall Opinion
====================
This is a great debut from Kate Nash. There is a balanced mixture of indie style tracks for the non conformists and lots of more up beat pop songs that will appeal to a much wider audience. I think that Kate deserves a lot more credit for her work, she IS talented no matter what the critics say, her music is original, she can actually write a song and she has a really unique voice. Overall, 10/10.
Thanks For Reading!
