I love Kate Nash. Her accent and her irreverence is wonderful. The song Foundations is a modern day masterpiece. It's so visual. I finally saw the video and my imagination of the song was so much better. I love the lines, "You said I must eat so many lemons 'cause i am so bitter" and "My finger tips are holding on to the cracks in our foundation." Kate Nash - so wise, and great in concert, too!

I love Kate Nash. I found her debut album `Made of Bricks' to be brilliant and one of the most refreshing and inspiring albums in recent memory. I love her accent and the way she uses it when she sings. I love her diary-like lyrics that really stretch the imagination and bring a smile to the face. I love her whole aura, which transcends the boundaries of the stereo and makes an impact on the listener.

That said, I wasn't left too impressed by this little ditty.

I was really excited when I saw that the EP for `Foundations' had three songs I'd never heard before. I've been waiting for something new from Kate for a while now and so this was the perfect way for me wet my appetite while I await the release of her sophomore release, which is scheduled for early 2010 (yay!).

Yes, `Foundations' is wonderful, but I already have that song on `Made of Bricks'. Sadly it's the best song on here. `Navy Taxi' is also good, but it drags on a bit (it's nearly six minutes long) and so it loses some of its greatness along the way. It has its sincere moments though, and she sounds amazing. I'm a little shocked it didn't make the final cut for her album, but not everything can make it in I guess. The real issue I have with this little EP is with the final two tracks. Both of them remind me of `Play', the opener of `Made of Bricks'. For any of you who have heard `Play', you'll know that it really isn't a song. It is just a weird repetitious track that is clearly an opener. `Caroline's A Victim' is very reminiscent of `Play' but it is clearly NOT an opener and so it doesn't work (`Play' doesn't even REALLY work). `Habanera' is slightly better, but that is only slightly.

They are just weak additions to her repertoire.

So, I hate to not recommend this because Kate Nash is brilliant and everyone should love her, but this EP is not the way to do it. Pick up `Made of Bricks'. It's one of the best albums you could own!

This is a really great EP. All three songs found on this cd are worth every penny.

Love Kate Nash. Happy to have a few more songs here than from Made of Bricks. Ultimately, the B Sides are interesting, but forgettable. Great for the die hard fan, but save your money if you are looking for hidden gems.

Received cd within a week of ordering it. It was in great condition. I am very happy with my cd and the whole experience of ordering.

Kate Nash is amazing, and I love this album! Highly recommend her to anyone who enjoys music in the Lily Allen, or Regina Spektor vein.

I listen to this CD when I need a pick-me-up. It's cute and funny and her accent is sexy as hell. I hum her songs all the time.

Defiantly a good investment.

Sorry, but this girl's singing (if you can call it that) and low-class Brit accent grate on my nerves. So don't listen to it, you say? I wish it were that easy. At the store where I work, "Foundations" and a few other KN songs are played ad-nauseum on the store Muzak. Kate Nash and the Geico Gecko have made me despise British accents.
