"My Best Friend Is You" Kate Nash [Polydor]
This is a career-ending CD.
Kate Nash burst onto the music scene with 2007's "Made Of Bricks", however the dreaded curse of sophomore slump has reared it's ugly head again!!
The media have made a star of Ms Nash, grouping her with the new breed of British female artists who "tell it like it is". Tracks such as "Do-Wah-Doo" and "Kiss That Grrrl" deal with female jealousy, however both songs end up being a giant whinge-fest. "Don't You Want To Share The Guilt?" & "Mansion Song" feature lyrics of incoherent babble. Some pundits might think that Kate Nash is a witty wordsmith, however after listening to 13 tracks it all becomes very monotonous.
From a musical perspective, there is some sort of vague 1960's pop thing going on, however it doesn't really work at all. "My Best Friend Is You" doesn't contain any standout hit songs or memorable riffs, and in general is a very messy affair.
2 marks out of 10, and both of those marks are awared to Kate Nash for convincing Polydor to release this CD!!
