Single Selections: Kate Nash

Kate Nash - Do-Wah-Doo 3.5/5

It's been three years since Kate Nash, became a star in the U.K. scoring a hit single with "Foundations" in 2007. Returning with what could be cousin of her first hit single, "Do-Wah-Doo" fits right in with much of the material from Nash's first record Made of Bricks. With one major difference, unlike it's predecessors, Nash finds a loose jagged guitar rift and Motown inspired backing vocals to add some spice. Ever the clever songwriter, it's the simple things on this track that make it work. "Bah-dum-bah-dum" Nash rambles on, through climaxing horns and rattling guitars. Nash dishes up another piece of pop fun.
