    It’s an assured and at times impressive debut for a blonde determined to have some fun with her image and her music.

    Her Scots brogue addresses the issue of “who you’ll be one day” with husky urgency, yoked to jaunty jangle-rock and prancing piano-pop which doesn’t anchor her in too parochial a terrain, giving Peroxide a broad appeal potentially akin to Ellie Goulding.

    If this is peroxide, it’s a heavily diluted solution; there’s certainly nothing caustic here, and scant evidence to suggest, as she protests to be the case on the title track, that there’s anything burning in her heart.

    Sounds like the biggest cover of Youtube, which is not a bad thing.
    "Peroxide" will not stop the UK, maybe be not the best written, the most

    "Peroxide" will not stop the UK, maybe be not the best written, the most innovative, but Nina is good for the ears.
