"Kate Nash has confessed that she found writing her new album &amp;quot;cathartic&amp;quot; following a difficult 2012. The &amp;#039;Foundations&amp;#039; singer explained that she needed a release for her anger after splitting from The Cribs&amp;#039; Ryan Jarman, the death of a close friend and parting ways with her record label Fiction.  &amp;quot;I sing because I have to get things out. I need to puke them up, to purge. If I didn&amp;#039;t, all my anger would go into very negative areas. If I didn&amp;#039;t write songs, I&amp;#039;d be a very f**ked-up person, no question,&amp;quot; Nash told The Independent. &amp;quot;When almost everything in your life has gone wrong, a certain kind of freedom comes with it, you know? It&amp;#039;s almost liberating. &amp;quot;I really don&amp;#039;t want to destroy myself in this process. I only seek destruction through music. It&amp;#039;s cathartic for me, and I love what I do. I&amp;#039;m not trying to be cool.   &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t give a s**t about any of that. The whole point of being a musician is to be there for the outsider, and to empower young women.&amp;quot; Asked if she has been the victim of trolls, she replied: &amp;quot;Yeah, but not just on Twitter. In the press as well. Over the years the press have called me every terrible thing you can imagine. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been slated for the way I look, for being too fat, too ugly, too spotty. I&amp;#039;ve been attacked for my personality, for where I&amp;#039;m from. But you know what? I&amp;#039;m older now. I&amp;#039;m more mature. I don&amp;#039;t care what anyone thinks, not anymore.&amp;quot; Nash&amp;#039;s third studio album Girl Talk is released on March 4 through her own label Have 10p Records. She&amp;#039;ll also tour the UK this spring. Watch the music video for Kate Nash&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Death Proof&amp;#039; below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
