My Best Friend is You - Kate Nash

This is not Lily Allen. This is not Lily Allen. This is NOT Lily Allen. Oh fuck it! It is so Lily Allen. Just listen to them! They have the same Chav accent and the same style of music. What more is their to either one.

In fairness there are a couple of differences:

  • For whatever reason Kate Nash seems more artistically respected than our dear Lily. Not sure why or how. 
  • Kate doesn't seem to have the same cheeky sense of humour than our dear Lily. Kate just uses more bad words the nuns told me not to even listen to let alone hear.
  • My father also provided a key insight into Kate Nash when he said, "she's unnecessarily aggressive and angry." As in-favour of aggressive anger as I usually am, in this case he's not wrong. 


I tried, for the sake of my friends/kidnappers at Coup de Main to like this album. And I very nearly did with Kiss That Grrrl, which is in my humble opinion the best on the album. But then I found tracks like I Just Love You More and Mansion Song. No. sorry, just no.

Once again I think if you're a fan then you'll likey. For me though, a couple of listens was more than enough to expose some pretty novice song-writing skills and a lack of much musical ability.
