'Foundations' is a song co-written by British singer-songwriter Kate Nash for her debut album 'Made of Bricks' in 2007. It was released as the album's lead single in June 2007, her first single since signing with Fiction records.
The music video was directed by Kinga Burza and makes use of video, still shots and stop motion animation. Colourful everyday items such as toothbrushes, shoes, socks and toys (one of which appears to be a Yellow Power Ranger) are prominent.
It follows the song closely, and is made up of several main scenes; Nash playing a card game, turning in bed, eating lemons 'you've said I must eat so many lemons, because I am so bitter', sitting on a staircase, arm wrestling,decorating a cake and sitting in her lounge. The video ends as she packs her suitcase and walks out of the house.
I really liked this video, i think it fitted the lyrics of the song well but not to a degree that it was too story-like, although most of the action depicted the words being sung.I like kate nash's style, and her way of communicating confusing romance with a keen eye for detail and scene-stealing turns of phrase, and her snide comments make for a humourous listen.
