Lily Allen, anyone?
 
Anybody here listens to her? I absolutely love her music ever since I heard Smile two months ago. Then one thing led to another and now I have the album on my PC, can't wait to buy it! It's absolutely fantastic. When I read the rave reviews, it made me want the album more.

But even here, Allen keeps her revenge sweet — she sounds like she's singing about how ice cream or puppies or being in love makes her smile, which gives the song an extra sting.

My thoughts, written by Allmusic. Even the tracks that got criticized sounds wonderful.

Lily Allen
Alright, Still

-The album title is taken from a lyric in the song "Knock 'Em Out".
-Contains the UK #1 single "Smile".
-This album was a MySpace featured album, which meant that fans could listen to it, before it was released
-The song "Alfie" is about her little brother Alfie Owen-Allen
-The track "Cheryl Tweedy" failed to make the album, although it was released in the special edition of "Smile"
-The week after its UK release, it was placed at #10 in the Starbucks Music chart in the US, despite few stores having it on import only.
-According to Los Angeles radio station KDLD, the album will hit U.S. stores in early 2007.

I've only heard "Smile" but I looove it :yes

So.. you have the whole album nee :lech ..

Mad_Cactuar 8th September 2006 12:17 PM

Try torrents. :D If you want, I can upload the Smile B-sides, "Cheryl Tweedy" and "Absolutely Nothing". They're also equally fantastic. Although nothing beats Smile and LDN, of course..

Kodayumi 8th September 2006 01:23 PM

Never heard before her name...is she new?

KanDa KoTObuKI 8th September 2006 01:56 PM

i adore this girl! She's just so funny and cool ^^ And her voice is really nice to hear! Her first album is really good IMO if you've never heard it, listen to " Smile ", and you'll fall in love with her ^_^

bulmasman 8th September 2006 04:49 PM

To be fair her music is really quite good, but as a person she's horrible. When asked about how she was gonna celebrate her birthday i believe her reply was something along the lines of "snorting coke and getting drunk" - wow there's a classy lady for you. Plus, the fame has gone right to her head, instead of focusing on her music lately all she's done is launch attacks on half the singers in the music industry. She need's to get over herself before i'll take her seriously.

ayu1m 8th September 2006 04:55 PM

Wow, seriously o_O?

That really sucks.. I thought she was more that innocent girl :shrug

I still like her voice and music but as a person, her points dropped :\

bulmasman 8th September 2006 05:01 PM

I'll look online to see if i can find the article about the "snorting".

-edit-

Found it :D

Quote:

I'll celebrate with coke


CHART sensation LILY ALLEN has made a showbiz super-howler – saying she will celebrate her first No1 by taking CLASS A DRUGS.

Asked how she would toast her brilliant new single Smile topping the charts, she replied: “Gak.”

If you’re unfamiliar with drug slang, “gak” is another word for cocaine — named after the feeling users get after a PETE DOHERTY-sized indulgence.

She bad mouthes celebrities as if she thinks she's better than them, even Madonna, I don't know how she dare.

She's ugly.

She's a chav. (British expression for those who don't understand...for lowlives who wear horrible clothing such as track suits, burbery and stupid big earings).

Her songs are annoying.

She is annoying.

I want to punch her.

Yes. I'm pretty passionate about my hatred for her. ^-^

Pure genius :D

micster 8th September 2006 08:22 PM

lmao at the chav

anyway not heard her, dont wana, looks fugly

Jennie Mae 8th September 2006 08:35 PM

I've only heard "Smile" and it's okay.
Didn't know about all this drug stuff though... :innocent

Mad_Cactuar 9th September 2006 05:56 AM

Hell, she even posted in her blog it was a JOKE. She's against drugs in her songs too.

I love the way she bashes other artists. :D

- James Blunt rhymes with his surname.
- Kylie Minogue is an insult to Glastonbury.

And many more, but the James Blunt one got me laughing cos it's so true.

HELVENEUE 9th September 2006 07:39 AM

No thank you. :)

Mad_Cactuar 9th September 2006 07:44 AM

Fine, keep on listening to those goodie two-shoes and their crap music since public image matters so much to you. And while you're at it, watch while Lily Allen rises to the top of the bunch. :)

Her reviews are awesome, they're really true. But most of the sites contrast with each other when they mention the worst tracks. Which shows how good her CD is. :D

so you have to be a (former) drug addict with a really bad reputation to be a good musician? somehow i don't see the logic in your thoughts

No, she just happens to be a good musician with a bad reputation.

If one day Ayu gets apprehended and sent to jail for coccaine use, we'd all give up on her too?

Don't worry MC XD. I actually might be the only one who likes her... She has a good look and she sounds alright ^^

Mad_Cactuar 10th September 2006 01:51 AM

^ I love you.

It's kind of hard to differenciate between her and the ones you see in the street. XD

Ah he'll be thrilled to know that. XD

Anywho, Lilly Allen will soon be 'Lilly who-now?'

and I quote The Sun's moronic music columnist Joe Mott 'Revival of Pop Music'. Yeah, sure.

js_surrealism 10th September 2006 08:06 PM

I like her music a lot, some of her lyrics make me laugh out loud. But image wise, I think she tries a little too hard. She made some pretty dope mixtapes before her official debut, though, heard those?

LEOyumi 13th September 2006 02:54 PM

I love Smile! I'll download her album and then I'll post here what I think about it. ^_^

Taishaku 14th September 2006 04:04 AM

I've got the album but i only like Smile and LDN, most of the songs are boring fillers. :P

SURREAL__RAINBOW 14th November 2013 05:34 AM

I never really liked her, but her new song/video needs to be watched



Shut down that Robin Thicke bitch

NintendoHTF1242 14th November 2013 05:46 AM

I'm so happy to see that she's back making music after "It's Not Me, It's You".

Her lyrics are still on-point and her videos are still fucking great as ever. We needed you, Allen; thank you for coming back.

jiarongisme 14th November 2013 06:29 AM

I'm SO happy that she's back and making music again. The video is awesome :laugh Not a fan of how the song sounds but we all know she's doing the stereotypical bad pop production on purpose. I can't wait for more!

emi♡ 14th November 2013 08:47 AM

Video win. Song win.

Kouyou 14th November 2013 10:23 AM

Lily Allen is life. I hope she'll put out a full album soon, I've missed her so much. She was my favorite artist for a long time. I played the shit out of her past two albums.

terra 14th November 2013 10:26 AM

I love her new video and song! I miss her so much

inthezone 14th November 2013 01:32 PM

Hilarious to see the comments in this thread now

Delicious n Bold 14th November 2013 07:40 PM

I kinda like it
It's definitely gonna grow on me and I hope she continually makes headlines now

AyuBlackwind 16th November 2013 09:00 PM

I'm glad you all like it, my friends were really offended(really?), probably because they don't get it, but whatever. Go Lily.

CatGirl 24th November 2013 05:37 PM

I'm so relieved that she's back because I thought she quit singing forever ;_; Hard Out Here is amazing and the fact that it parodies Blurred Lines makes it even better

ame-na-otoko 13th January 2014 01:03 PM

I love a bit of Lily Allen, I was right glad when I heard about her comeback.

jiarongisme 19th January 2014 01:46 PM



Man, this is AWESOME. I like this better than Hard Out Here tbh.

inthezone 1st May 2014 10:25 PM

Her new album is AWESOME

NintendoHTF1242 2nd May 2014 04:19 PM

I'm so buying it first thing in the morning on release date!

inspire_rmx 6th May 2014 03:30 PM

OMG her brand new album is simply amazing!! from the start till the end. such an awesome comeback!

NintendoHTF1242 6th May 2014 06:59 PM

I bought the deluxe edition; listened to the first disc and absolutely love it <3

orangeakira 6th May 2014 07:38 PM

I'm not really a fan of the album. My favorite songs are hard out here, silver spoon, and sheezus. The songs sound kinda similar, but I'll give it another listen soon and go from there.

brener 7th May 2014 09:12 PM

Hard Out Here has grown a lot in me *--*
