Production of double page spread

This the the article I am going to use for my double page spread, we wrote it and then had chance to redraft it after our teacher had read through it to make improvements. This is my final piece.

   Back in 2007, with the release of her just studio album Made of Bricks, Kate Nash announced herself to the world. Looking up to idols such as Kathleen Hanna, Billy Childish and Lydia Lunch helped make this album how successful it is today as it topped the billboard 200 at the number 36.

   This album explored Kate’s past and showed everyone that she didn’t care, and that she liked to be different. Kate says “I want to say that I don’t care, but everyone’s human and if people slag you off it’s not nice”. She has her own opinion on everything, as we can clearly gather from this relating this to her unusual song titles that she has came up with, “Mouth Wash” We would see this as abnormal, but to her it would mean something.

   Moving forward in Kate Nash’s career, after the Made of Bricks album her
career rocketed up and then in 2009 she made My Best Friend Is You, she dedicated this album to her boyfriend Ryan Jarman who she has been with for a number of years. In this album the song titles show us that they could relate to her boyfriend Ryan by using names such as, ‘I just love you more’ and ‘You were so far away’.

   Kate has built up her career by helping others when she had spare time she would spend it helping others such as helping to produce a teenage band called Supercute! Kate took a huge role of helping them produce their first album.  Kates soft spot came out by using social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace, Kate managed to spread the word about a young girl who needed help called Tilly who lost her hands due to meningococcal diease. Kate set up an auction site on eBay to help donate money to this five year olds parents, so she could have a start up fund to eventually buy her own pair of hands. She has also recently formed after school clubs for students who are interested in the music industry.

   We haven’t heard much of Kate Nash over the past year, as she has been in the recording studio for the past year, working on her latest album, Nash has been working with William Orbit, Mark Ronson and Cameron McVey on her third studio album which will follow up from her last album, My Best Friend is You. Could this be a different direction for Kate? Due to working with Mark Ronson who mainly specializes in dance music. In January 2011 Kate Nash exposed that she was working on a new upcoming album and will be releasing it in 2012.
