Kate Nash unveils album artwork, performs “Doo Wah Doo” and doesn’t like the Pussycat Dolls
British singer-songwriter Kate Nash has released the arty-artwork for her upcoming sophomore album My Best Friend Is You, which drops April.
The 22-year-old has often drawn comparisons to the outspoken Lily Allen, and she should expect them to continue after she recently ranted about The Pussycat Dolls in a new interview, claiming that the girl group are a bad influence on children.
“Young kids should be taught about sex but they shouldn’t be taught to be sexy. It’s really distasteful.” What does she make of bands like the Pussycat Dolls, with their pre-teen fanbase and overtly sexual image? Nash rolls her eyes. “They’re called Pussy. Cat. Dolls,” she says with incredulous emphasis. “You don’t need to say anything else really. It’s encouraging sexualisation and sexuality in young kids, and I think that’s a bit weird. When I was young I was listening to the Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child. I was singing ‘Independent Woman’ and ‘Survivor’, and it was all about Girl Power and being with your friends. I don’t think I was singing, ‘Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?’” {source}
I assume she hasn’t heard “Bootylicious” then?
Moving on now, Kate has delivered an acoustic performance of her new single “Doo Wah Doo”, which will also be out in April. I can’t wait to see the song performed properly, but for now this will do.
