From the Crocodile web site, ""An artist should be someone who's sticking it to the man," Kate Nash explains emphatically. "It's about rebellion. It's about your mom being like 'turn that down' and you slamming the door and being like 'whatever, I need this music to help me get through my emotions!'" The 22-year-old singer has always had strong opinions but in the months since the 2008 release of her smash debut Made of Bricks, she's found a new kind of fierceness in expressing them. After a whirlwind rise-to-fame that involved multiple world tours and more than a million albums sold, Nash is back with her sophomore effort, My Best Friend Is You. "I went from being really young and naïve and positive, like 'oh my god I love life, everything is so fun, to being like 'I hate the world, everyone's shit, I want to die,'" Nash says of her ride to the top. "My Best Friend Is You is about trying to find a happy middle."
