Kate Nash has made more noise recently with her fantastic work on the Netflix series GLOW, and now that she just finished shooting the show’s second season, she’s ready to get back to music. Her return is nigh, as she announced today that her upcoming fourth studio album, Yesterday Was Forever, will be released on March 30th. She’s also teasing the album with a fun and quirky new video for the song “Drink About You,” an energetic and bright pop song.
The song’s themes aren’t as happy as the track sounds, though, as Nash describes “Drink About You”:
“‘Drink About You’ is about breaking up with someone and becoming obsessed with an idea of who they are, to the point you can’t think of anything else or move on. It’s an unhealthy obsession, you imagine things are better than they are and latch on to whatever you can about the relationship that could be turned to good. And you deal with the pain in an unhealthy way too.”
As for the album as a whole, Nash says it’s about nostalgically looking back at the past:
“‘Yesterday Was Forever’ is an excerpt from a teenage diary. I used to be mocked for being a silly little girl writing in her diary, but these days I feel like the teenage girl is far more respected than she used to be and it’s teenage girls that have fought for that and taught people that lesson. ‘Yesterday Was Forever’ is about your dreams being trapped in a time capsule, being caught in a moment for too long, and looking back through heart-shaped glasses.”
