"Do Wah Doo" Video Review

"Do Wah Doo" is steadied piano indie pop, much like you'd expect from Nash but you get the vibe that the girl's grown up some since 2007 for sure. Yet the heartache and troubled relationships of boys and girls are still most prevalent in her cutesy-sung lyrics, covering up the underlying emotion with "ooh's and ah's".

The track has a sound wholly reminiscent of the '60s girl pop sound. It's bright and bubbly and powered by a rousing bar house piano. Produced by ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, "Do Wah Doo" builds a wall of sound with blasting horns and Grease-esque bum-de-dum backing vocals. But lyrically, the 22-year-old singer's grit and bite remains intact.

"The song's about one of my best friends from when I was younger," Nash tells SPIN.com. "He totally betrayed me by hanging out with these enemies of mine -- these perfect girls, who wore lip-gloss and talked about boys and were really annoying. He and I had grown up climbing trees, playing in the woods, and going on holiday together, so I thought he'd be cooler than that. But when he turned 15 years old he wanted a girlfriend. I was like, 'Well fine, I'll just pretend I don't give a shit even though I'll never ever forgive you, even when I'm 22 years old and writing a song about it.'"

In the video, Ms. Nash is a flight attendant on a mod-tastic, '60s-themed plane. Amid showing patrons the emergency exists and refilling coffee, she drools over a fellow steward who seems to have googly eyes for a girl who ain't her. Between the cheeky choreography or the near crash caused by turbulence, the video is her welcome back and a sign that certain things will never change.
