When Kate Nash came out with her love/hate song entitiled "Foundations" it was-of course-a smash hit. The song portrayed what it was like to be in a relationship going nowhere, but still not being able to accept the fact that it was over. She sings the song in a very real way as she illustates all the moments of denial in her relationship. The way that she sings I can almost see her at parties with her boyfriend, and I can imagine how she feels. She does it with gall and humor, and so the ending result is fabulous rather than angry. Of course, the world took note.
She went on tour bringing her song around the world. She spent her days singing about how the foundations of her relationship were falling apart. No one could tell that more than one foundation was ripping at the seams: Kate had a nervous breakdown on tour. The anxietly of living a non-stop life lead her to total exhaustion. She once said of being a new artist:
"It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Trying to understand sounds and working with producers is weird. You just think about so many different angles, but you still want the integrity and everything to be right."
Now while something like what kate went through might change someones world and scare them out of show biz, but not Kate. She is now out with her first album since "Foundations" entitled "My Best Friend is You". It has a feeling to it that Kate didn't seem to grasp before.
"I'm getting the opportunity to live the kind of youth lifestyle that you should be able to live and you dream of it and it feels like a film and it's well good."
She now has a new look on life. She's not Lilly Allen, and she's not messing around. She is Kate Nash and she is here to stay.
