Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Love it ! Comment: I'm not easily impressed either. I like all types of music. I've played/play trombone, baritone, trumpet and a little bit of mandolin and guitar. All that said, if you like your music, clear, uncluttered, and about true to life situations, you have it here. Sometimes funny, mostly upbeat and at all times, real, this is what's kickin' chicken. Listen to some of the songs on utube, see for yourself. Be careful, it grows on you. Remember buying an album for just one song? Then you get it home and listen to it all the way through, because you had paid good money for it, after all... and find there are quite a few good songs, eventually, you are rocking through the entire album, relating to each song. There ya go, it will happen with this one. There are 3 or 4 songs almost everyone will like, if they haven't lived in a bass drum most of their life. As far as the accent, she sounds just like a buddy I've talked to regularly for over 6 yrs online. I find it amusing he was training my ear for just this occasion. Buy it, support a real group that is truly enjoyable. I hope they are around for many moons! Customer Rating: Summary: Olvidable Comment: Esta de moda ser una chica mala del Reino Unido, cantar unas groserías mientras cuentas cómo te importa un bledo el mundo y que los chicos se pueden ir a la mier... pero, eso no basta para ser excelente intérprete femenina de música alternativa, indie, pop y rock.. Kate Nash, 20 años, oriunda de Dublín, tiene una carrera similar a la de aquellos hoy famosos (por talentosos) artistas que empezaron en el ciberinfinito - como Lily Allen de quien es o era amiga, la cosa es que la segunda la recomendó mucho-: compone, toca guitarra, piano y batería, y... canta; se saltó la burocracia industrial colgando sus frutos del árbol del Myspace donde cosechó fieles seguidores y logra su primer disco. Graba con el sello independiente Moshi Moshi Records y luego su CD debut bajo con Fiction Records, Made of Bricks. El primer sencillo llamado "Foundation" posee un reconocible video más una letra interesante sobre una relación que ya no sirve: "And everytime we fight I know it's not right,/ Everytime that you're upset add a smile,/ I know I should forget, but I can't."... pero sólo eso. Según su sitio enumera una larga lista de influencian que van de lugares a épocas, pasando por otros artistas en distintos géneros, sus padres, y músicos como Laura Dockrill, The Postal Service, Regina Spektor, Tracy Chapman y un largísimo etc. Nash no posee la voz ni el dominio, tampoco tiene ese punch que la diferencie del montón -sobre todo de Lily-, y en definitiva los arreglos musicales no aportaron gran cosa al conjunto de un CD que va sobre seguro más hacia el sonido ambiental de ascensor que hacia la irrupción a paso firme en el mercado marcando estilo. Su elepé parece más una maqueta de ejemplos y posibilidades que realmente un disco que la defina. En resumen: sosa, tirando a aburridora, en fin, olvidable por completo. Lo que realmente me gusta son las letras de Nash, ojalá vocalistas más talento y dominio empiecen a versionarla, sus letras son microcuentos urbanos sobre chicas que salen con chicos y sienten y pasan "cosas". Customer Rating: Summary: ~I don't just love it ~ I Luuvv it~!~! Comment: A really lovely, strong and beautiful album. Nash has those genteelly clever lyrics that you hope for in a singer songwriter. Her songs are the truest form of story telling in lyrical form. Her voice has an aching quality I fell in love with and you believe every word or every song that slips from her mouth. She can be so sweet with her tone and then alternatively sharp and tangy like a bitter cheddar cheese. The album plays like a crash course "On how to better know the person inside Nash's head", one the increasingly rare albums I can play and not skip songs. I love the song Nicest Thing, perhaps only because it plays like the internal monolog of why most guys think girls are nuts~ but as a girl I cling to her every word with emphatic nodding. The big "hits" would be Foundations, but I also really love the Skeleton Song, Mariella, Merry Happy and We Get On. ~ this will easily be a forever favorite album~ Customer Rating: Summary: Great Pop for This New World Comment: What more can you ask for?: Super pop melodies, cute face, interesting voice, attitude exuding equal shares of innocence and brashy. Take a chance on this English lass. She may take advantage of you but you won't regret it! Customer Rating: Summary: Loved the album: Fun BritPop with some bite! Comment: Kate Nash has a great sense of humor with a keen eye for observation and an ear for flirty melodies. If you like Lily Allen, you should definitely check out Kate. She has a bit of a potty-mouth, but I find it completely appropriate and highly amusing. I definitely wouldn't want to fall victim to her lyrical pen, but I'd listen to it! It's great music to get you going and enjoy as you drive about town. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Thanks to a gaggle of loyal MySpace friends, Kate Nash skyrocketed to the top of the British charts just a year after penning her first song, so you might expect her first album to sound a bit cobbled together. In reality, it is a wildly exuberant, refreshingly original set of songs that suffers from only a few lyrical clunkers and less-than-realized melodies. For the most part, it follows mentor Lily Allen's genre-busting lead, wrapping charming tunes like "We Get On" and "Pumpkin Soup" around lopsided beats, simple piano melodies, and blunt kiss-offs that Nash delivers through a laughably thick cockney accent. "Foundations" brings everything together beautifully, spinning a romantic argument into a surprisingly poignant and memorable single that confirms her sudden success as no fluke. --Aidin Vaziri
