Have you watched the video? I really like it. I think its good. What Le Tigre were described to me as but weren't. Of course they were better, but that isn't my point. Is it? I like it.

I know, right?, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I heard that song and had my guard all up ready for 80,000,000 reviews saying how she sounded like Catherine Tate's 40-year-old schoolgirl Lauren, but none are forthcoming.

Is she actually gonna be popular then?

The level of vitriol on this thread is perplexing. "Merry Happy" is pretty damn good, though "Caroline's a Victim" sounds like straight crap to me.

Don't see how singing about liking (and losing) a guy who once liked yer bum plays into any kind of "industry paradigm". It just plays into life. And the fact that Kate's singing this while not being another grotesque cyborg simulacrum of perfect hotness makes it a hell of a lot more charming than it would be otherwise.

Nothing in "Merry Happy" reads as "serious" to me, but rather (at best) poignant in an offhand, everyday sort of way. Hence, the charming. The lyric writing isn't totally "vacant", either, though that's the tone the voice intentionally adopts. Nothing splashy, but well-observed and even well-turned throughout.

Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 20:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeezis. Such wit. Yeah, I get the Lily ripoff thing going on, and I can see that what Kate's offering kinda pales in comparison, but it just ain't that bad. You don't like it? Fine. Go with that.

Pye Poudre, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

more cyborg simulacra of perfect hotness, less kate nash please

she makes allen sound great: i don't like allen's songs but at least they are songs; allen can at least sing, after a fashion. nash can't even speak.

No vitriol here, I was actually just grasping for some reason why someone might think she is anything other than a friend of Lily Allen's who has for some unfortunate reason picked up a guitar. She's just not good and I'm not going to stand idly by while she is made into the next big thing without expressing that opinion, multiple times if necessary. There are just way too many people that aren't friends with anyone important or influential that are making good music for a thread like this to have any legs here, in my opinion. And I only checked out her stuff because I actually LIKE Lily Allen and I had the highest possible hopes that here was yet another interesting artist. Sadly, that is not what I found. DUD. Sucks sores.

Saw her supporting Get Cape Wear Cape Fly a few weeks ago. Underwhelming. Unimpressed. Lily Allen lite, etc. That "Caroline" song did stand out a mile, though...

ok i've read a few weekend on sunday pieces on this broad, but none of them even tried to describe her music. perhaps i will visit "my space" and figure it out for myself, but nothing her boosters or she herself have said recommend her. i'm guessing that her backstory will be revealed sandie thom-style pretty soon. she's a young'un so it's not her fault entirely, but the journalists who promote her are running-dogs.

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 22 July 2007 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link

i'll be interested if she does some more folky stuff. i seem to remember she sings well.

Frogman Henry, Sunday, 22 July 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link

she's being produced by paul epworth. probably not going to be too folky?

She is a terrible artist. That she was strumming a guitar 6 months ago and is now riding beats as an "Electro" artist proves that she is just a manufactured entity.

I am offended by the LeTigre comparison, they roll legit.

lol I'm playing this again for the first time since I last posted to this thread and I still like "Foundations" a lot

kind of cringing remembering the dickhead song that will soon be bludgeoning my ears, though

on balance, she's kind of like a British, mopey, piano-based version of Poe

National Sockpuppet Helpline (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 23 February 2010 22:21 (fourteen years ago) link

then this new one, with one line of lyrics and very little of her voice, should come across as her best effort to date
