Kate Nash's tour prompt

Tuesday, 7 October 2008

Kate Nash plans to release an album next summer - if she can tour first.

The 'Foundations' singer says the only way to force herself to complete writing new songs is to play some live shows in order to give herself a deadline.

She explained: "I'm writing, it's really exciting just to have some time off and I'm just making demos really on my computer like I used to.

"I'm doing a couple of small gigs because I start writing songs and then I leave them for ages and the only way to really force myself to finish them is if I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'd better do this live'. Then I have to write something.

"Hopefully by January I'll be back in the studio. I want to do be doing stuff in spring or summer."

Kate's debut album 'Made Of Bricks', topped the UK charts last year.
