Today, Kate Nash released her highly
anticipated fourth studio album “Yesterday Was Forever.” The full-length
album is available worldwide and includes recent singles “Life
In Pink” [watch the official videoHERE] and “Drink About You” [watch the

Next week on April 4, the British artist, actress and activist
will be hitting the road in Vancouver for her North American tour. Her first
tour on U.S soil in 5 years since the release of her critically acclaimed album
“Girl Talk.” Tickets and more information for her upcoming tour can be

As one of the most honest, self-effacing and unpretentious pop-stars Britain
has produced in a generation,Kate Nash is never going to let
self-consciousness get the better of her. Now aged 30, Nash finds herself in a
great place, she’s rediscovered her love for pop, launched a stellar acting
career (currently starring in the female wrestling series 'GLOW'), and
found communities of intersectional activists and progressive new voices to
fight the good fight alongside.
For her, “Yesterday Was Forever” -- Kate’s fourth album and the first
since her self-released 2013 LP“Girl Talk” -- is a phrase straight out
of a teenage diary and it contains smatterings of '90s pop-rock (Meredith
Brooks, but also The Cranberries, Annie Lennox, Alanis
Morissette and similarly forthright yet positive femme rock),
alternative dance numbers, and spoken-word confessionals.
Opening track ‘Life in Pink’ is a bittersweet blend of
bubble-gum-pop hooks and driving garage rock, powered by Kate’s honest and
affecting lyricism directly addressing her mental health. 'Drink
About You'is a rumination on a break-up, but it doesn't feel
finite. “It's that thing of breaking up with someone and still pursuing
it in a subconscious way. I struggle with letting go.” The chorus is a
punch in the face, albeit fun and able to find the light even in the stress of
the situation. Elsewhere 'Musical Theater' is a
particularly prideful moment for Nash. It's a breakthrough in her writing and a
summary of what she's been battling with the past few years. She describes it
as a presentation of her own brain. “It's what's going on in my head.
That is my anxiety, my mental health issue, my OCD. It's the fear I get in the
middle of the night when I'm fighting my brain to not go completely fucking
mental. You have to not give up on yourself.”
The current genre-bending, limitless spectrum for pop is very encouraging to
Nash. She feels as connected to the writing world she's been part of (she
co-wrote Rita Ora's single 'Poison' with now fully-fledged popstar Julia
Michaels), as she is to underground DIY girl bands like London band Dream
Wife, and indie heroes such as Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino and
LA band Bleached. The supportive network has been a revelation for
her, and not what she experienced coming up in the scene.
It's been a long journey for Kate Nash to feel this at peace
with her body, her mind, and her music. With “Yesterday Was Forever” she
closes a chapter on the past and leaps ahead into the future. “I want people to
have fun listening to this album, and to become comfortable with who they are. I
know that so many people aren't. It's really painful to look at yourself in the
mirror, square yourself in the eye and go, 'I like you and I'm OK with being
me.' But it's so important and it's fucking liberating when you do.”
“Yesterday Was Forever” is out everywhere now.
In other news, Kate has also been filming Season Two
of the massively successful Liz Flahive(Homeland), Carly
Mensch & Jenji Kohan's (Orange is The New Black)
Netflix Original GLOW.
Kate Nash’s U.S tour starts on April 4 in
Vancouver.
