Lily Allen, anyone?

[Mad_Cactuar]

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.
