Kate Nash’s career started around the same time as Lily Allen’s, and they have often been compared in the beginning. I still like her playful early singles, like Pumpkin Soup, Mouthwash, and Foundations (all from 2007).

After a few non-album singles in recent years, Nash is now working towards her next, Kickstarter-financed album, Yesterday Was Forever. Her first album in five years’ time, which Nash calls ‘an excerpt from a teenage diary’, is to be released on 30 March. It features her recent single Drink About You and this equally great follow-up.

Life In Pink is a dynamic power pop track about mental health. As Nash states: “The concept of the video is balancing the sane and what I’m told are ‘insane’ parts of my brain and how I think you need a balance of the two to really make it in this life.”

It’s hardly coincidence this track appears on Carte Blanche Music the same day as Liza Anne’s Panic Attack…
