Kate Nash

去年夏天有Lily Allen帶動了一股"流行+創作+甜美+殘酷"的新一代girl power,而江山代有人才出,今年夏天就出現了以一首"Foundations"登上英國單曲榜第二名的十九歲女生Kate Nash.
原本立志要成為演員的Kate在一次意外中因為受傷而無法自由活動,於是她就在被困在家中的這段時間把以前曾經斷斷續續寫的創作一一完成也寫了很多新的歌;傷癒之後Kate就自己在當地的pub約了一個時間表演自己的創作並申請了一個MySpace網頁分享她的音樂.當她的音樂在MySpace上大受歡迎之後,她才決定要朝創作歌手這個目標前進!

歌詞多以講述故事為主再加上pop的曲風,Kate Nash的音樂常常會被與Lily Allen和Sophie Ellis-Bextor做比較;但除了歌詞創作上的相似,Lily還有Sophie走的是雷鬼和舞曲風的流行樂,Kate則是偏向民謠和midi(不過歌詞中總還是會出現幾個"fuck"和"shit")Lily Allen也曾在自己MySpace上盛讚Kate呢!

VIDEO: Kate Nash - Foundations

Thursday night, everything's fine, except you've got that look in your eye
when I'm tellin' a story and you find it boring,
you're thinking of something to say.
You'll go along with it then drop it and humiliate me infront of our friends.

Then I'll use that voice that you find annoyin' and say something like
"Yeah, intelligent input, darlin', why don't you just have another beer then?"

Then you'll call me a bitch
and everyone we're with will be embarrassed,
and I wont give a shit.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

You said I must eat so many lemons
'cause I am so bitter.
I said
"I'd rather be with your friends mate 'cause they are much fitter."

Yes, it was childish and you got aggressive,
and I must admit that I was a bit scared,
but it gives me thrills to wind you up.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted, what a surprise.
Don't want to look at your face 'cause it's makin' me sick.
You've gone and got sick on my trainers,
I only got these yesterday.
Oh, my gosh, I cannot be bothered with this.

Well, I'll leave you there 'till the mornin',
and I purposely wont turn the heating on
and dear God, I hope I'm not stuck with this one.

My finger tips are holding onto the cracks in our foundation,
and I know that I should let go,
but I can't.
And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and i smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.

And every time we fight I know it's not right,
every time that you're upset and I smile.
I know I should forget, but I can't.
