She really pisses me off. She's only on her second single and she has completely sold out her musical style. 'Caroline Is A Victim' - while itself kinda shit, showed real musical promise. There was a distinctive style, electropoptacular; however it didn't sell very well alas. Thus the record label, with Ms. Nash's full co-operation transformed her into this attempted angsty, yet over pronouncing, summer-dress sporting, fringe-loving freak that she is today.
Foundations... is an AMAZING song. However Ms. Nash, once again channeling said Lily-Allen-a-like, manages to spoil it by opening her mouth. She doesn't sing like she used to. She doesn't speak like she used to. And it is this style that completely ruins it. However there is promise there. All you have to do is look 3:25 into the song right to the end. Musical amazingness. No Nash. There is more angst and compasson in those 20 seconds than in the entire rest of the song, and more than likely in the entire album put together. Grrr.
It kinda hurts me that she is sat on my itunes library slap bang between the absolute wonder that is Kate Bush, and an artist who actually stuck to their recording ethos... Kate Ryan.
