Her new album is nowhere as good as Made Of Bricks but I still don't really know if I like it or not. :\

Totally agree on that.

I like the new single and it was stuck in my head for a few days so I was really looking forward to the new album. Bought right away on Friday and was disappointed. Am. Do-Wah-Doo seems to be the best / catchiest song on the album which certainly was the reason to make it the first single.

 

Kate has a strong style and people began to copy that or were at least compared to her. I don't think she got annoying.

It's a pity that she speaks so much on the record (at the end of Don't You Want To Share The Guilt? and in the beginning of Mansion Song. Forgot about the other moments if there are some).

She also swears a lot. Did she do that on the first album as well? :thinking: Not that I noticed ...

Lily Allen sounds pretty similar.:dozey:

She does but I wouldn't say they are similar as artists. Sure they both come from the UK and are women. So?

I see Kate as an indie singer while Lily Allen makes pop music. But that's just my opinion.

It astounds me how much I digged Kate Nash years ago. :P I remember Foundations as a really good song though.

Totally agree on that.

Actually I don't even like Do-Wah-Doo that much :S. And the lyrics of this album are kind of boring. It's such a pity because they were SO good on Made Of Bricks.

And yeah I agree that the beginning of "Mansion Song" is SO annoying ! It could have been a good idea if that wasn't that long. Same for the en of "Don't you Want To Share The Guilt".

I still think that she's one of the most talented artists in the Brit scene though. I listen to Made Of Bricks and it never fails to amaze me ! She's smart, creative, her voice is incredible so I guess I'll just have to wait for her to release her third record ! lol

I'm so tired of people comparing them all the time. I'm not saying they have nothing in common but they're very different!

She is smart and crative and has a great voice but I somehow got the feeling she thought she had to prove all this and to draw a strong line between her and those female artists who can neither sing nor write their own songs but know how to undress themselves in public. Not that this line wasn't already drawn. Unfortunately she tried too hard. Looking at the lyrics I feel confirmed. :\

So am I.

so again an artist which did epic fail on the second album? :\

Looks like it. And if not 'epic fail' then certainly 'big disappointment / could have done much better'.

Actually, it has grown on me a little since the last time I came here. I wouldn't call it an "EPIC fail", that's for sure. It's still not as good as her first one but I'm starting to really like some of the songs.
