Advantages: Original, interesting, totally not manufactured

Disadvantages: One not-so-brilliant track

The first time I ever saw the "Foundations" video on the television, I thought; "what rubbish!" The second time I watched it, I had mixed feelings, and the third time, I loved it, and have done ever since. I've never been bored by it.

"Foundations", Kate's debut single and the second track on her first album, the phenomenally successful "Made of Bricks", for those who for some unexplicable reason haven't heard it, is a very snappy song incorporating a keyboard, a guitar and Kate's cockney tones. It was the brash, cockney accent that I found the most annoying, but now that's what I love about it! It really complements the fantastic lyrics.

Also released was "Mouthwash" which has the same rhythm as "Foundations".

The next song to be released from the album was "Pumpkin Soup", which has nothing to do with pumpkin soup and everything to do with trying to suss out men! It's very punchy and very easy to dance to.

The last release was the fabulous "Merry Happy" which is the perfect girl's anthem. It's about eating cheese on toast, being single and being confident. I love this track too.

I also like track five; "Birds" and track ten; "Skeleton Song". There is one song I can't stand and that's "D***head". But it's rare to find an album where you love all songs.

It's a must-have album. Kate Nash is not only a brilliant songwriter and recording artist; she is also amazing live; playing the keyboard whilst singing wonderfully, keeping the attitude she has on the videos. She also has no interest in being a sex-object; she has her own, unique, retro style, and she stays completely out of the limelight.

I adore "Made of Bricks", it's one of my most treasured possessions and I hope she records another album.

Summary: One for your CD stash
