For anyone who saw the appeal in Lily Allen's music, but not in Allen herself, Kate Nash is here to complete the picture. Bringing the same kind of street-smart lyricism to her songs, Nash comes across as quirky, genuine, and eminently likable. She's a hell of a songwriter too — her debut, Made of Bricks, includes numerous bona fide hits ("Foundations," "Merry Happy," "Pumpkin Soup") — and her switches from piano to guitar don't cause the slightest misstep. Live, things get more intense, as Nash incites her percussion-heavy backing band, speeding up tempos, bashing at the keys, and occasionally giving in to outright punk-rock revelry.
