Hello :D Long time no see. Well, I'm writing in english cause I decided I needed to hone my language skills, and, in order to do so, I thought I should go back to basics. What helped me the most to take up english was translating texts into the language, so maybe writing my own texts in english would help my fluency. The thing is, the more you practice, the more you learn, right? I also love taking up new languages so maybe I'll be translating this text into other languages as soon as I know enough about them. Please, if you miraculously come across this text, note that it might contain tons of mistakes which I'd be thankful if you pointed out so that I can learn from them. Well, after all this babbling, it's time to go straight to my point. Today I'm going to talk about british singer Kate Nash and her music (focusing on her latest album, Girl Talk). Don't forget that this "article" is fully based on my opinion and point of view so it's ok if you disagree, think it's all bullshit and regret having wasted your precious time reading it.
I came across this cute-freckled-gingerhead's music back in 2008, I'm afraid, when she had released her debut album,
Made of Bricks, already. The album features beautiful britpop/indie pop songs combined with adorable (and beautiful) melodies that would fit her adorable bone structure and quirky vocals perfectly
2 years later, she released her second album named
My Best Friend Is You, which, gave us a glimpse of what would come after. The album portrayed a more mature, independent girl, specially comparing to the naive little girl we met before. Unfortunately, it failed to grab my attention for some reason I couldn't figure out yet, thus I can't talk much about it. Maybe I should give it another try someday.
5 years after her debut album, our little girl had evolved into a multi-coloured-haired woman who would show, this time, much more attitude than before. As we could expect, her sound evolved just as much as she did. Her EP, Death Proof, released last year, showed us a more punk-leaned sound, which is not a big deal if you consider some songs from her previous album like
I Just Love You More, but a huge shift if you take her first album into account. Her new album,
Girl Talk, that is going to be released this week in the UK, is another step into the new direction mrs. Nash is taking, and in my opinion, her most interesting work so far. The most remarkable thing of the new record, is the perfect match between her new music style and the adorability in her voice, making it, in my point of view, her best work to date and one of the best albums of the year so far.
