User Album Review
One of the first things to strike you about Fast Food in comparison to her debut is that she seems to have developed a sense of focus which wasn’t always necessarily evident previously. There’s a deliciously gloomy cloud which enshrouds every song here and means that Fast Food is not only an impressively coherent record, but it’s also a thoroughly immersive experience. It’s very easy to be sucked into Nadine’s world by the dark, brooding tales she weaves here, even if the directness and intimacy of her words can make you feel just a little voyeuristic at times.
If Love Your Dum and Mad floated the idea that Nadine Shah was capable of greatness, then Fast Food confirms this as fact. The songs on this record have been delivered with the kind of aplomb that only someone with an unshakeable confidence in their work can muster, which suggests that Nadine Shah’s artistic future is mouthwatering. Perhaps that’s a discussion for another day though, and we should probably just savour what she’s doing right now. One thing’s sure, though, Nadine Shah is no longer ‘one to watch for the future’, but a bona fide creative force in the here and now.
