Feb 27, 201610/10 - "My Best Friend Is You builds on her more conventional 2008 debut, Made of Bricks, with a punchy, almost dizzying mix of garage-rock bedlam, scene-skewering snap, and sweet girl-group melodies" - Entertainment Weekly

RezJApr 26, 2010I think she knows what she's doing. After her huge success with "Made of Break" this album is the missing part of her previous album. It's great.

Jul 30, 2011It's on par with her previous record, 'Made of Bricks', but this one is a bit more mature in terms of sound and I like the rhymes better. Standout tracks are 'Paris', 'Kiss That Grrrl' and 'Take Me To A Higher Plane'.

May 29, 2011This album is nowhere near as good as Made of Bricks although is a better album than I expected. Some of the songs have a lyrical toughness missing from her rather insipid first record. So the album takes a while to grow on to you. But when you've listened to it for a while you realize that this is great stuff and it's more enjoyable to listen to in the long run.

The hit-and-miss nature of her words wouldn't be so noticeable if the music was more of a distraction. But the skittering sub-Motown fare accompanying much of this album fails to muster a chorus worth savouring.

My Best Friend Is You hasn't got the immediate freshness of Made Of Bricks, and it can make for a disorientating, uneven listen at times. Yet it's never anything other than compelling and demonstrates that, despite what a lot of people thought when she first appeared, that Kate Nash could well be around for a good few years yet.
