Hot Like Wow (2007 to 2008)
Oh's debut album Hot Like Wow was produced by Space Cowboy and released in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2008 by Tiger Trax Records, with songs featured on the American TV shows Ugly Betty, Gossip Girl and So You Think You Can Dance. On July 16, 2011, the title track "Hot Like Wow" was featured on So You Think You Can Dance for the second time. The album was preceded by three singles: "My Egyptian Lover", "Something 4 the Weekend" and "N.A.D.I.A. O.H." from 2007 to 2008. The album was however supported by the release of the single, "Got Your Number", that bought her international attention on the American TV series, Gossip Girl.
Colours (2009 to 2012)
Oh worked once again with Space Cowboy on her second studio album, Colours, released on May 8, 2011. Singles from the album, "Taking Over the Dancefloor", which received airplay on BBC Radio 1's The Scott Mills Show, and "No Bueno", showcase a moombahton style and were named Song of the Day by Popjustice on 21 March and June 27, 2011, respectively.
Hiatus and modelling (2013-present)
Since 2012, Oh has not released any new material despite suggesting otherwise. She has since pursued a career in modelling. It is unclear if Oh plans on returning to music. A demo of a song with singer and producer MNEK dated from 2012 allegedly called "Radio Religion" surfaced online in 2021 but it was never officially released.
That Kind of Girl

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That your boyfriend misses
I'm the kinda girl
That your girlfriend disses
I'm the kinda girl
That drives you mad (waw)
I'm the kinda girl
That you wish you had
I get in for free
I'm the kinda girl
In the VIP
I'm the kinda girl
That likes to have fun
If you're that kinda boy
Then come and get some
I'm that type of girl
Are you
That type of boy? [x2]
I'm the kinda girl
That doesn't do dishes
I'm the kinda girl
To grant your wishes
I'm the kinda girl
That your girlfriend hates (waw)
I'm the kinda girl
That your boyfriend dates
And you know that i will taste delicious
I'm the type of girl
That doesn't get suspicious
I'm the kinda girl
That likes to have fun
If you're the kinda boy
Then come and get some
I'm that type of girl
Are you
That type of boy? [x4]
When i say i'm that type of girl
It means i'm as nasty as i wanna be
Not what you tell me to be
Cos i'm an independent girl
And i get what i want
And if i don't get it
It's cos i don't want it
I'm that type of girl
Are you
That type of boy? [x6]
Nadia Oh's song "That Kind of Girl" is about a woman who confidently expresses her sexuality and independence. The lyrics suggest that she is the kind of girl that men desire and women envy, someone who gets into clubs for free and enjoys the VIP treatment. She is not interested in traditional gender roles or domestic responsibilities, highlighted by the line, "I'm the kinda girl that doesn't do dishes." The song plays upon gender stereotypes and turns them on their head: the singer enjoys having sex and is comfortable with her own desires, something that is often associated with male behavior.
In the chorus, she invites the listener to ask themselves if they are the kind of person who can handle her, highlighting the importance of finding someone who can accept and appreciate her for who she is. The end of the song reinforces this theme of independence and self-determination, stating that she will only pursue what she truly wants.
Overall, the song promotes a message of empowerment and encourages listeners to assert themselves and their desires. It also challenges gender norms and encourages people to reject traditional expectations about male and female behavior.
