Before receiving this single I had never heard of Kate Nash, and quite frankly having listened to this single I wish that this would have remained to be the case. ‘Foundations’ sounds like Kate Nash listened to Lily Allen’s cover of The Kooks ‘Naïve’ and forged out her career on the basis of what she heard here, as lyrically she sounds like a poor Lily Allen and is often reminiscent of her, however there is also a definite Kooks approach about her vocals that comes through at times, particularly during the chorus. At close to 4 minutes in length, I would consider this track to have been a severe waste of my life – 4 minutes of which I’ll regrettably not be getting back. A few months down the line and I guarantee that Kate Nash will be a distant memory for most, a young talentless woman destined to be a one album wonder.
