Album Description:

2007 debut album from the UK songstress Kate Nash. Pop music with indie sensibilities and an experimental edge permeate much of this album, and it is topped off with Nash's distinctive estuary vocal stylings. Since the album's release, Nash has been the talk of the town in the UK, where she regularly appears in most of the music magazines from NME to Q. She has quickly risen the ranks from 'darling of the critics' to commercially-successful artist, and deservedly so. Features 12 tracks including the single 'Foundations'. Universal.

Amazon.com:

Thanks to a gaggle of loyal MySpace friends, Kate Nash skyrocketed to the top of the British charts just a year after penning her first song, so you might expect her first album to sound a bit cobbled together. In reality, it is a wildly exuberant, refreshingly original set of songs that suffers from only a few lyrical clunkers and less-than-realized melodies. For the most part, it follows mentor Lily Allen's genre-busting lead, wrapping charming tunes like "We Get On" and "Pumpkin Soup" around lopsided beats, simple piano melodies, and blunt kiss-offs that Nash delivers through a laughably thick cockney accent. "Foundations" brings everything together beautifully, spinning a romantic argument into a surprisingly poignant and memorable single that confirms her sudden success as no fluke. --Aidin Vaziri

Fantastic CD
Kate Nash has got te be one of the best up and coming singers out of England. Fantastic voice combined with great writing and band. Would highly recommend. She's been bumped to the top of my "hit list". Great stuff.

Vendor was great in getting the product to me as promised. Would also recommend.

AWFUL!
I can't believe that this ENTIRE album is so full of songs with nothing to say. Her over the top British accent gets tiresome, her uninspired lyrics may appeal to the average 14 year old who actually believes the way to get over a broken heart is to just drink and pout. I was patient with the first few tracks, but each song got worse than the last one and I finally just gave up.

What a waste of money and time!

Disappointing
The only good song on the cd is the one they play on the radio..a couple songs were just plain bad...very disappointing. I was expecting more.

Kate Nash: Some one new yet growing strong........
I only recently stumbled upon Kate Nash at a concert at First Avenue in Minneapolis. She was absolutely outstanding in concert and this album will compliment my fond memories of this event. Her britpop music is catchy and the album is well done. Clearly there are a few tracks which I could live without but the others make it an outstanding album and one of the best thus far in 2008. Defintiely a fresh look and sound!!

I Wouldn't Be Surprised to See Kate Nash Go Far
Made of Bricks is an album from Irish-born English singer Kate Nash that doesn't break any new ground, but what artist does these days? She writes happy pop songs on this album. This day and age girl acts are popular, almost too trendy, but it has brought many great artists/musicians to our attention. Ms. Nash stands out because of her quirky twists and views of the world that you hear in her songs. Her lyrics deal with confusion, love gone band (everyone can relate to that) and uncertainty.

Kate Nash blends her music and lyrics in a very pleasant manner not dark and dreary. I like the contradiction of it all. Some songs have piano in the mix like on "Foundations" and "Skeleton Song". This record really shows her potential and I wouldn't be surprised to see her go far.
