Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash

...barely any connection to be made apart from the fact that both of them are from London. Nash was working at River Island when she fell down some stairs and broke her foot. In the three weeks she had to spend recovering, she picked up a bass guitar and started playing. By the time she had recovered enough to start working again, she had a few songs written and ready for performance, and she… didn't need to start working again. She quit her job, released ...
...very quickly afterwards. This one, Made Of Bricks -- And it's NOT like Lily Allen. It's a rush-job, sadly, so for now we don't truly know how Kate Nash is going to sound as she progresses as an artist. However, based on the better songs here, she could very well become the English Regina Spektor. Made Of Bricks is a scrappy, messy affair; a series of art-school doodlings backed up with cool sounding music and some clever lyrics, all held together ...

Review of Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash

Kate Nash burst onto the scene in 2007 in every way imaginable. She was signed to a Polydor offshoot in March, had first single 'Foundations' released in June, had her album release hurriedly pushed forward to August after the unprecedented success of the single, performed non-stop through the Summer, and announced in December that she has already started writing songs for her second album. However, in all this rush, could her first album 'Made ...
...of the album mean that the tracks on it were hastily pulled together without any real substance? And does the fact that she's already onto writing her second album with only a couple of songs off the first one released mean that there's not enough releasable material on here at all? 'Foundations' was an instantly popular song - it was added to both Radio 1 and Radio 2's playlists in its first week of release and reached number 2 in the singles chart. ...

...following month. How Kate Nash made the transition from an independent to a major label in one month is beyond me as in my opinion Kate Nash music has to be the most irritating to have graced the UK charts since Crazy Frog hit the number one spot in 2005 with 'Axel F'. 'Made Of Bricks' starts promisingly with the short musical opening of 'Play', however things quickly turn sour as 'Foundations' kicks in, quickly followed by the soon to be released ...
...be said that its catchy for all the wrong reasons. I think that with 'Foundations', Kate Nash was on a mission to write and release the most irritating track she possibly could. With lyrics such as 'You said I must eat so many lemons, cause I am so bitter/I said I'd rather be with your friends mate cause they are much fitter', it is clear that lyrical intelligence here is at a minimum. It's not just the lyrics to tell you the truth; it's also the ...

Review of Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash

It would seem that the new way to launch your career really is through the medium of the internet. At the moment the music scene seems to be undergoing a growing wave of artists launching themselves on Myspace. One of the latest is Harrow's singer songwriter Kate Nash. Following in the footsteps of the likes of Lilly Allen, she uploaded a few tracks to myspace and from there was signed to a record label and has even been described by Allen as the ...
...from nowhere to take the singles and album charts by storm and it was her second single "Foundations" that convinced me to buy this album. I wasn't really too sure what to expect from the album on the whole and although I did really like the second single it took me a while to actually put my hand in my pocket and buy it. One of the things that is clear from her sound is that she draws her influences from all sorts of different music genre's. In ...

...and is the track that made her name, or at least the video that goes with it did. The video is an excellent piece of work that shows that this girl can express the meanings behind the words. She is not just going through the act as it were. The track is all about a failing relationship where one or both of the people are unable or unwilling to kill it off for whatever reason. Kate tells the story of a breakdown and the pettiness that this usually ...
...go belly up. Although he made her happy over time she learned to be happy by herself, his loss! ##Little Red. This is one of those songs that you have to listen to over and over again to really understand it. I'm sure there is a story in there but each time I listen to it I pick up a different thread. I'm not going to spoil it by saying what I think it is about, you will have to listen o it yourself to work out. But you really must listen to it. ...

...about this album is it made me smile. I could relate to the song lyrics as they are so down to earth it’s unreal. She tells stories in every song and you cannot skip as you want to follow it on even if only for the lyrics. Some of the lyrics are also like conversations she is saying and the music style is quite old fashioned sounding but it is different. TRACKLISTING 1. Play 2. Foundations 3. Mouthwash 4. Dickhead 5. Birds 6. We Get On 7. ...
...11. Nicest Thing 12. Merry Happy 13. Little Red 2. FOUNDATIONS: This song has a very relaxed feel to it. The music has a quick pace and the lyrics fit in with the rhythm. The singing isn’t amazing but at the chorus the narrative like lyrics turns into a really nice singing voice with a slight bit of an accent coming through still but she can sing. The song is about a couple not getting on and the little things that annoy one another. It is about ...

Review of Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash

I bought this CD because of her hit 'Foundations' and was told about it from a friend of the same musical taste as myself! I listened to the hits and after a while got bored of the 'Foundations' track and I actually, after listening to the entire album believe this is one of the weakest tracks on the album, it is catchy, but gets boring quickly. Few of my favourites nd the one not so good one! 'Play' a track lasting 1:11 with the lyrics...'I play ...
...is not the best if im honest. 'Mouthwash' with its piano playing and simple lyrics and deep idea of ' this is my body no matter how you try and disable it, yes I'l still be here' I adore, catchy, memorable and fun! D***head is a fabulous, chilled out tune with a melodic click of the fingers! Bird- one of my favourites, a love story, only a london, train/bus love story, i love the fact that it isnt all roses and perfume, its realism makes it funny ...

Although not the best of the new music out there I have really taken to Kate Nash and her alternative way of playing things. She has little, as many say, tolink with lilly allen but i can see where someone would find the connection. Anyway I love this I can listen to this in the car and think of warmer days. Whatever the weather with a nice warm heating system blowing. Somehow I do wonder how people come up with this newage rock/pop style music. ...

Review of Made Of Bricks - Kate Nash

This is my current favourite album. Originally I found her music dull and tasteless but after hearing "Foundations" on the radio I fell completely in love with her. The majority of the songs are all very upbeat quirky and happy, something you would deffinitly want to wiggle your bum to. Even the more slow paced songs make you smile. My personal favourite is Merry Happy. There is also a really sweet hidden track at the end of track 12 which is beautiful. ...
