Am I the Kinda Girl? is the third and final studio album by British singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis. It was released through Polydor Records in October 1996 in Australia,[1] and in March 1997 in the UK. Dennis abandoned the dance-pop sound of previous releases and switched to a more traditional singer-songwriter approach. The resulting album, Am I the Kinda Girl?, was more in keeping with the Britpop sound of bands such as Blur and performers such as Stephen Duffy, and features collaborations with Guy Chambers of The Lemon Trees and Andy Partridge of XTC. The album features the singles "West End Pad", "When Dreams Turn to Dust", and a cover of The Kinks' 1967 hit "Waterloo Sunset".
