From the first lines of the ebullient opener Paris, taken from Kate Nash's second album, it is apparent that Miss Nash has made the transition from bedroom blogger and ingenue to young woman on a mission. The song and the album are all at once classic Nash but it is quite clear that though the redhead still smells like teen spirit, now there are definite and fragrant top notes of the woman she is growing into.
Kate writes her own songs - she plays piano, guitar, bass, drums - and producer Bernard Butler found a way of bringing the songs to life without losing any of her idiosyncratic personality. The result; an album that is eclectic, adventurous, and honest.
There's the 60s girl group influence of "Kiss That Grrrl" (and more self-mocking paranoia: 'She's instantly more pretty and interesting than me') and the gentle beauty of the folksy "You Were So Far Away." There are minimalist lyrics on both the raw punk of "I've Got A Secret," and "I Just Love You More." Set against Sonic Youth feedback, Kate sings 'I just love you more than anything' between expressive yelps; by the end, she is breathless.
Kate's debut album, Made of Bricks, was about wanting to be in love; Kate's new effort is about trust, sexism, homophobia, honesty - and how being in a serious relationship has made her feel less selfish and more grown-up. 'I don't want to be gushy and weird about it, but I am in love! I don't worry about making myself too vulnerable: I always write with my heart on my sleeve. If you don't then you're not living.'
The final track, "I Hate Seagulls," is about 'admitting you're in love with someone'. It's a stream-of-consciousness list of what she hates (seagulls; being sick; burning her finger on the toaster; nits) and what she likes (cream teas, reading, 'your hand in mine'). 'It's basically saying that I hate all this crap life throws at you, but it's okay because I love somebody and they love me back.'
With a second album of which she is rightly proud - 'nothing was rushed; I've developed as a writer' - does Kate still feel like an outsider? 'I will probably always feel like an outsider because I don't fit the format of a female artist. But I'm not worried about it. No way. I've always done things my own way and, for that reason alone, I'm happy.'

Release Notes:
With Lily Allen apparently retiring from the fray, the way should be
clear for fellow glottal-stopper Kate Nash to become the pre-eminent
chronicler of pop verité. Nash's debut, Made of Bricks, reached No 1 in
2007 and won her a best female Brit. Its successor features production
by Bernard Butler, the former Suede guitarist whose deft retro touch
ushered Duffy to superstardom, and 60s girl groups have been invoked, a
strategy that worked for Amy Winehouse.
So far, so sewn up – or so it seemed, until Nash released online a
pre-album amuse-bouche called "I Just Love You More". Over a backing of
wiry guitars, Harrow's favourite girl next door repeated her song's
title a lot, punctuated by a series of whoops and shrieks. Nash's time
since Made of Bricks has been spent studying the American indie canon
as well as the Shirelles, and My Best Friend Is You betrays an
enthusiasm for the work of synth-feminists Le Tigre (who, deliciously,
have a hand in the forthcoming Christina Aguilera album) and their riot
grrrl punk forebears. The album hinges around a stream-of-consciousness
polemic, "The Mansion", which finds Nash railing bluntly against sexual
degradation in musical circles.
For sure, groupiedom is a ghastly old business and unflinching candour
has always been Nash and Lily Allen's strongest card. But here, Nash
becomes irretrievably prosaic. "I Hate Seagulls" is, literally, a list
of things she does not like. "I hate picking off the scab a little bit
too early," she sings and you detect no internal affective disorder,
just a pedestrian grazed knee.
When Nash swings to the girl-group end of the female pop spectrum, the
outlook improves. "Do Wah Do" marshals handclaps and piano hammer blows
with great vim, as Nash gives a rival the once-over. When she mines
this particular unsisterly seam on "Kiss That Grrl" and "Early
Christmas Present", she connects electrically with the vicious
measuring-up that so often passes between young women.
With just DIY multitracked vocals and guitar, the folky "You Were So
Far Away" makes an even stronger case for Nash being a better observer
than she is a feminist avenger. But none of this entirely redeems the
album. My Best Friend… is full of sweet love for Nash's main squeeze,
Ryan Jarman from the Cribs, and, spasmodically, for the
indier-than-thou culture from which he hails. If only Nash had realised
her good intentions with a little more guile.
