Kate Nash vows to make pop ‘cool'

Kate Nash has pledged to make pop music “cool” again.

The ‘Foundations’ singer insisted that the current crop of British singer-songwriters – Lily Allen, Jamie T, Jack Penate – have helped to restore pop music’s reputation after the domination of manufactured groups in the early noughties.

She told the NME: “It’s good to make pop music cool again, isn’t it? I think we’re pop music, but from the heart. It’s written genuinely, by real people. It’s so bizarre now if you think back to what was massive – Westlife and S Club 7 and all that absolute bulls**t.

“The songs weren’t written by them – it was so fake and I think it’s one of those things. With us you can see that it could actually be you as well – just a normal person. It’s beans on toast."
