Lily Allen - This summers biggest racist?

upon first listen, the new stuff sounds like sentimental, transitional drivel to me

she's no Kate Nash

coma - it's no death

dating Smithy?

Surmounter OTM.

Topless!

BAM

To be fair, that's by far the worst pic of the lot.

s'alright

The 'Smile' singer will now call the album 'It's Not Me It's You', according to the Daily Mirror.

The album, set for release on February 9, 2009, was previously reported to be named 'Stuck On The Naughty Step', with 'Brilly Allen' another rumoured title.

How about another suggestion for a title: IT'S OVER

is it just me or is lily allen really really hot?

Depends on the camera angle.

is it just me or is lily allen really really hot?

I thought that was the whole point!

i take it you missed that photo upthread?

I can't be bothered with this new song of hers. Really just don't care.

Good to know.

Everyone has bad days and bad angles!

agh, terrible terrible article. Apparently this year has been dominated by female artists and LA is the best of them all.

Ah - that video is for the album version, by the way. ("f*ckloads of diamonds" vs. "I want loads of diamonds")

Hmm...not a bad song, really. Still can't get acquainted with her black hair, though.

Marcello can add Lily Allen to his list of Tory cunt popstars, she was praising Boris Johnson last week.

Bimble Is Still More Goth Than Lily Allen

LOL. There is a costume shop near my work and I always used to notice all this "Emily" paraphernalia in the window.

this one? http://tinyurl.com/5spfwe

Her songs are fairly catchy, too bad her whole persona comes off as so bitchy and weirdly moralistic. I feel like so many of songs are about her wagging her finger at various aspects of society that are beneath her.

Heheh you're right, brotherlovesdub

that song is pretty good!

The inevitable 'Womanizer' cover

La Lily singing "The Lady is a Tramp" on Jools Holland's New Year's Eve show was mortifyingly revealing of her limitations. I have no idea whose idea it was for her to sing that but her breathy thing just doesn't work with a song like that, which asks for brassiness, pipes, power and sass. She was like a little girl playing dress up. Really embarrassing.

"LILY ALLEN STATEMENT

During an interview with The Word magazine Lily Allen was asked about the lyrics of a song on her album called "Everyone's At It". The song's subject matter concerns drug use. In her answer she replied that she "had no statement to make, I just wish people wouldn't sensationalise this thing that just exists". At no point does she say that drugs are a good thing or that she condones drug use; in fact she says that "I can spot the signs (of people on drugs) and it terrifies me". The song itself talks about a culture of both legally prescribed drugs like anti-depressants and also illegal drug use.

Lily Allen would like to state unequivocally that she does not condone illegal drug use and has every sympathy with individuals and families whose lives have been blighted by drugs.
"

how obvious is it that the record label bosses have called the girl in for a bollocking, or that she is worried they will.

It would be hard to believe that this is coming from the record label, since they're releasing the whole controversy-courting record in the first place.

I accidently posted this on De Subjectivism :P Favorite line so far off the new album.

"I don't imagine that he's ever been suicidal,
His favorite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival"

Those De Subjectivism guyz baggin' on Dom over there: "Ah, van Dom Passantino. Die heeft een pesthekel aan ALLE muziek :)"

Don't worry, I suggestbanned their asses.

Aruba for the Arubans, imo.

i don't want to pick on you for being an idiot but we can't do that on 77.

how bad must her other lines be for this to be a favourite line?

How about this?

"I can ask you things I can't ask anyone
And you'll give me direction
Apart from me, you're the only other person I know
Who reads the travel section"

XP I think your acting like a dick is a lot less charming than you think it is.

no trying to charm ya, mordy.

http://thequietus.com/articles/01070-lily-allen-it-s-not-me-it-s-you-album-review

anyway you're not alone, there are a lot of people who profess to like this shit.

this quietus piece reminds me how bad music journalists are at writing about music. in this entire review the only reference he makes to the, well, music is:

"Sometimes she's not getting enough juice out of her backing tracks (more Pet Shop Boys-ey this time around)"

thanking you.

so, the question is, has greg kirsten saved his best stuff for the new (and excellent) 'the bird and the bee' album ?

if it really is excellent then probably

You can imagine Flight of the Conchords doing many of these lyrics. "Everyone's At It" is pretty close to a 100% Conchords song, though:

Bret: So you’ve got a prescription and that makes it legal? / I find your excuses overwhelmingly feeble

Jemaine: So your daughter’s depressed — we’ll get her straight on the Prozac / But little do you know, she already takes crack

So if these lyrics are supposed to be funny you approve of them?

never a big fan of comedy music but if this were comedy, those lyrics would be funny.

given MGMT's recent success i believe theres a big market for concords knock offs

They're not supposed to be funny. Conchords are usually funny because you're laughing at them, not with them. (I mean, you're laughing with the performers, but not the characters.)
