Kate Nash Artist Snapshot:

London singer-songwriter Kate Nash built a reputation through gigs and Internet word of mouth. Emerging alongside Jamie T and Jack Penate, Nash gave a unique, girl's-eye view of the edgy new school of British singer-songwriters. Her debut single, the somewhat atypical "Caroline's a Victim," came over as an electro-clash Lily Allen; the double-A side, "Birds," was more representative of her quirky, acoustic pop, boasting hip-hop beats and thrift-store keyboards. The follow-up, "Foundations," shot to number two on the U.K. singles chart, while her debut album, MADE OF BRICKS, promptly topped the U.K. album charts upon its release in 2007.

Title Note

On her impressive debut, MADE OF BRICKS, British singer/multi-instrumentalist Kate Nash presents a confident and dynamic collection of pop songs. While both the young performer's sultry voice and fearless delivery immediately recall her contemporary Lily Allen (see the caustic "Dickhead," in particular), Nash often occupies territory closer to the thoughtful musings of Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor, as evinced on the swooning narrative "Birds" and the playful, piano-led ditty "Skeleton Song." The clear high point of BRICKS, however, is the vibrant, electronica-tinged "Foundations," a track that catapulted Nash to fame in the U.K., and fully showcases her biting wit and keen sense of melody.
