Produced by the same man who helmed Duffy's Rockferry, My Best Friend Is You finds Kate Nash taking a more retro approach to songwriting. The streetwise London accent and observational lyrics are still present, but so is a newfound appreciation for Motown and girl group music.Mojo (Publisher) (p.95) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he coltish gaucheness makes this record curiously engaging....Nash's public growing-up is oddly touching."
My Best Friend Is You is the second album from London-born songstress Kate Nash. Following the success of 2007’s Made Of Bricks (Nash’s debut, Made of Bricks, reached No 1 in 2007 and won her a best female Brit), Nash’s sophomore album features a more mature piano pop and girl-group-tinged punk sound, while maintaining her quirky style. Produced by ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, the album includes the single “Do Wah Doo”.

如同Lily Allen的鬼靈精怪，全英現正熱烈討論年僅20歲的音樂小才女
專輯空降全英冠軍，美國2008年初才問世，台灣樂迷有幸提早嚐鮮品味
首支主打“Foundations”亞軍席次蟬聯五週之久
是誰將已蟬連全英三週冠軍並造成話題的Paul Potts擠下來勇奪桂冠？Vogue、NME各雜誌大肆與Lily Allen相提並論，更受Lily本人推崇美譽為「Next Big Thing」，現已成為英國熱烈討論的音樂小精靈Kate Nash，彩繪出繽紛亮麗音樂藍圖，卡通可愛中卻流露一絲企圖心。
才剛滿20歲，操著濃濃英國腔，有著傑出創作才情的Kate，從小學習鋼琴彈奏，從音樂世界發掘自己的潛力。原本立志成為演員，卻在一次意外中跌傷雙腳而被困在家中休養，就在休養這段期間開始創作，同時將以前斷斷續續寫的舊作一一完成，也在心中給自己訂下一個目標，尋找些演唱場子將這些創作發表出來。傷癒之後Kate將未來轉向音樂領域，並申請MySpace網頁分享她的音樂，沒想到招攬到大批追隨粉絲，很快的被獨立廠牌相中出版雙A面單曲“Caroline’s A Victim/Birds”，限量一千張短時間內銷售一空，順利進入Fiction Records旗下成為Snow Patrol、Ian Brown、Yeah Yeah Yeahs師妹。
正式發行第一張大碟【Made Of Bricks】，請到英籍當紅製作人Paul Epworth (Block Party、U2、New Order)操盤，甫推出便空降全英冠軍+愛爾蘭Top8，美國要到2008年初才問世，台灣樂迷有幸提早嚐鮮品味。首支主打歌“Foundations”，從英國金榜187名一躍至亞軍席次，蟬聯五週之久，以Acoustic吉他夾雜大量電子音線輔佐，併入強烈電吉他迎耳襲來，表達對戀人種種不滿的嚴厲語詞，戳破童話故事的美好情節；輕盈鋼琴包覆引出“Mouthwash”，可在週五夜晚隨之起舞的甜美佳作，入選第二波強勢主攻；於獨立廠初次見面的“Birds”，套入Acoustic新民謠味覺呈現，加值收錄新輯之中；像個頑皮的音樂家秀出最鬼靈精怪之樂曲編排，“Mariella”盡興玩出多齣不按牌理出牌的可愛跳躍橋段；短小精悍的“Pumpkin Soup”，迴繞舞曲能量散射出的放克節拍，不到三分鐘的鋪陳，著實令人回味再三；聽畢“Skeleton Song”後也許你會聯想到Lily Allen，但腦中卻也浮現如Bjork的才氣質感。Kate Nash一手打造的音樂異想世界會讓人上癮、愛不釋手，讓你腦中呈現多樣奇情畫面。
