Girl Talk is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Kate Nash. Nash self-released the album under Have 10p Records along with Fontana in March 2013 after she raised money for the album on PledgeMusic. Girl Talk has received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Featuring a heavier rock-influenced sound, the album is a noticeable departure from her first two indie pop albums. Lyrically, it draws a lot of influence from the riot grrrl movement. Girl Talk did not achieve the chart success of its predecessors, and the three singles released failed to chart.
The vinyl LP version of the record was pressed by United Record Pressing in Nashville, TN.
The lyrics for the album's songs were written in 2011, and Nash wanted to record them as quickly as possible. Fiction Records, her record label at the time, however, wanted to slow down production and edit some of her songs to remove their "punky elements". Nash left Fiction Records and set up Have 10p Records to release the album. She paid for the production of the album through crowd funding on PledgeMusic. The album was recorded at The Paramour Mansion in Echo Park, Los Angeles. In January 2013, Nash announced she would release the album on 4 March, with the single "3AM" released on 18 February. Tom Biller produced the album and Jeff Ellis worked as the audio engineer.
A limited heart shaped vinyl of "Free My Pussy", one of the album's deluxe tracks, was also released.
The style of Girl Talk has been classified as indie rock and garage punk. Reviewers note the album has a feminist and female empowerment tone.
