Kate Nash: 9 Sad Symphonies review – from first dates to crying in a car park
Pivoting from riot grrrl to baroque ruffles, Nash nonetheless retains her trademark unvarnished lyricism on her fifth LP
Her fifth album is another about-face: with lush string arrangements inspired by old Hollywood and musical theatre, it feels more of a piece with Bridgerton than the boisterous wrestling ring of her Netflix show Glow. Kitsch and baroque, Horsie has a twinkly piano melody that could map on to Taylor Swift’s Enchanted – albeit one brought crashing down to earth by lyrics about crying in the car park of a DIY store. Ray and Millions of Heartbeats are similarly upfront about bouts of poor mental health, the former stripping back Nash’s frills to reveal simple acoustic guitar.
