Continuing the hallowed tradition of love songs to dogs, Kate Nash has penned a tribute to her pup, Stella. After a trip to Area 51 in Rachel, Nev., Nash realized that Stella was not only her best friend but also the closest thing to an alien that she knew. Nash explains, “When I rescued her from a man in a coffee shop who wanted 20 bucks to get off drugs, she saved me at a time when I needed it most. Sometimes it feels like we’re both from another planet. This song is about loving the strange.” So she went back to Nevada with video director Tyler Monsein in a vintage Chinook to capture the magic of road-tripping with your doggy pal, and the wacky wonders encountered on such a journey.

The L.A.-based Londoner, whose third full-length “Girl Talk” came out in 2013, is currently at work on an album that will be released in 2017. She’s also been recruited to play a part in a new Netflix show produced by Jenji Kohan (Weeds, Orange is the new Black) and created by Liz Flahive (Homeland) and Carly Mensch (OITNB). It’s a comedy called “G.L.O.W.,” inspired by the cult classic, campy 1980s TV show about female wrestling.
