Kate Nash - Foundations
It's been a wicked year for young Kate Nash, she fell down the stairs, broke her foot and found that, actually, she could write. Not only that but her voice, both in literal terms and in what she was writing about, hit a chord totally in harmony with her peers. From bedroom/ bedridden noodles to the poignant, sophisticated joshing of 'Foundations' - her first single since signing to Fiction Records, Kate fused poetry with performance and beats and has produced peerless pop confections - all in less than twelve dizzy months.
Perhaps it is Kate's unerring ability to articulate the heartbreak of splitting with yet another loser boyfriend or as in her previous single, the independently released, 'Caroline's A Victim' / 'Birds': taking the piss out of a bessie mate or Kate's charming and lopsided slant on declarations of love that have endeared her so quickly to music fans up and down the UK, selling out venues and all the pressings of 'Caroline' on pre-orders alone. Not only here but in the US Miss Nash has translated; midwestern school girls have been making home videos to tracks such as 'Merry Happy' and writers from France have called from their holidays in China all in an attempt to be closer to Kate.
'Foundations' could truly be the rock solid base of something big. Kate Nash has found her feet.

Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
Omid16B: ilikemusic because... It makes me feel whole and makes me feel like I have my feet on the ground. It makes me feel love again and reminds me of what we are. It allows me to express myself.
Ricky Cole (ricksta productions): ilikemusic because... it lets me express the way iam,and how i stand in life,my music is me!
Jacbob: ilikemusic because... It's very VERY good
Hard-Fi: ilikemusic because... what else is there to like?!
Sharleen Spiteri: ilikemusic because... it takes me to places that life can't
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
