Kate Nash has achieved an awful lot in her relatively short career thus far. Her début album ‘Made of Bricks’ has gone Platinum, and I just feel that at only 20 years old she has already accomplished more than most will achieve in a lifetime. Despite this, I have absolutely no appreciation for her music whatsoever and I do in fact find that she has one of the most annoying voices in the world. ‘Merry Happy’ does nothing to change my mind about the young artist and is in fact one of the tracks I hated the most from her album. Containing lyrics such as ‘Dancing at discos, eating cheese on toast’, this is hardly the signs of a genius lyricist at work. Kate Nash takes mundane topics and sings about them in a mundane way, she’s dull and offers nothing of worth as a singer-songwriter I feel. All I can say is that it’s lucky that this one won’t be as prolific a performer as her previous releases. Only 1000 copies of each format are being released; two x 7” and one CD. Hopefully ‘Merry Happy’ wont be getting much radio airplay and we’ll soon be able to say goodbye to Kate Nash once and for all. She surely wont be releasing a second studio album and my opinion on the matter is that the sooner she’s gone the better.
