Everything's fine, except...

You may remember that previously we’ve posed the question: is Kate Nash brilliant or just completely ridiculous?



We were hoping that the release of her second single would clear things up slightly, but with ‘Foundations’ looming over the horizon we’re still no closer to the answer.

The track shows that Kate certainly knows her way around a breezy-but-miffed summer diss track better than most; and the lyrical content, about a relationship that stopped being a relationship a long time ago and should probably stop pretending but doesn’t, is absolutely spot on and brilliant and all good things like that.

But.

THE VOICE! If Ms. Nash opened her mouth a bit less and sang a bit more during her songs, she would be at least two and half times better than she is. As it is, the ‘I’m young and from London, don’t you know?’ over-enunciation of each line deals a crushing blow to her brilliance.

On the plus side, she’s learnt how to act and she does still have that adorable pixie face.

We’ll probably end up loving her by the time her album comes out.
