THERE GOES A TENNER

Another Kate essential, "There Goes a Tenner" was the third single for The Dreaming; an artsy, Baroque-lite pop song with a ton of quirk, character and spunk. In the video, Kate and a few others seem to be in a sort of mine, or... is it a grandfather clock? They bust open a metal door with explosives. It's not a safe? It is a safe?! haha. Interesting video, especially when compared to her earlier songs [this was a year into the advent of MTV specifically]. Anyways, this track is fantastic; love it.

One of the first of these B-sides that I perhaps moreso incidentally heard before was this'n, "Ne t'enfuis pas". And unlike many of her B-sides, it holds its own weight. It has its own character. As you might guess, this is sung in French. And it features the warm, jazzy bass that was pretty signature to this era in her career. Beautiful track. Easily could have fit in Never For Ever with others like "Egypt".

I'll be honest with myself and round down from a True Rate of 4.5/5.0.
