 KATE NASH's first single from her new album is upon us. I like to think of 'Do Wah Do' as a more grown-up version of 'We Get On' (from her debut album 'Made Of Bricks'). 'We Get On' being that song, that needs to be thanked for helping girls survive life. So imagine, what 'Do Wah Do' is going to do for you! Nash told SPIN.com - "The song's about one of my best friends from when I was younger. He totally betrayed me by hanging out with these enemies of mine -- these perfect girls, who wore lip-gloss and talked about boys and were really annoying. He and I had grown up climbing trees, playing in the woods, and going on holiday together, so I thought he'd be cooler than that. But when he turned 15 years old he wanted a girlfriend. I was like, 'Well fine, I'll just pretend I don't give a shit even though I'll never ever forgive you, even when I'm 22 years old and writing a song about it.'" Kate also took to her blog to write about her new single. "I really hope you guys like it and think it's fun and get it. the song's about when you're best friend betrays you by ditching you & hanging out with the mean girls because they're pretty and don't have sweaty red faces and bruised knees. this has happened at school. It kind of delves a little into the fact that us girls are always set against each other in society, how girls are meant to view each other as competition and feel insecure and shit, you know you can always sense it when a girl views you like that even though you just want to be their best friend? but at the same time it's not really about that, it's just about someone who's mean. like if a guys a dick he's just a dick there's no real politics behind that. and if a girls a bitch then she's a bitch. it just depends if you're offended by those words I guess, and depends in which context they're used. maybe I should have used the word arsehole, that's non gender specific. but it just didn't have the same ring to it, no pun intended. anyway it's not really that serious it's just a fun pop song really. I hope you like it. let me know." I'm in love. Hurry up new album! I need you in my life, pretty, please... Listen to 'Do Wah Do' below...  |
