Frank Kogan, this summer's biggest hit. (I've been spamming here daily.)
(And more people have heard of her than have heard of me. She's getting 30,000 plays a day on her Myspace page.)

I haven't listened to the mix-tape, but perhaps this would be the Beats International version?
If she used the Smith & Mighty Remix of the same I would instantly agree to carry her children.

"Just Be Good To Me" by KarmahRelease: 10 July (tbc)We've been wanting to feature this all year and were delighted to hear that dance music's man of the moment Matt Jagger will release it in the UK on the Europa label. The elements are the Police Every Breath You Take guitarline, a rap that is just the right side of cheesy, and the Beats International chorus. Does it work? We think so - and it's an engrossing listen finding out. It's an Italian production from 1997 that did very little back then but its time has come. We heard about it when it start to hog the upper reaches of Shazam's German chart. It went on to spend three weeks at #5 on the German singles chart and it should be a pan- European smash.
My mum in Feb 1988 when Vanessa Paradis was on Top of the Pops for "Joe le Taxi" (No.3 in the UK): "I bet it's just paedophiles buying this record."
("Dub Be God To Me" was No.1 in the UK in Feb 1990.)

haha, tell it to france gall.
yeah that came out during one of my u.k. sojourns. late '89 was a good time for the pop charts there.
― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 18:01 (eighteen years ago) link
Her phrasing generally is spot on isn't it? She seems to know how to lift the lyrics into sounding really natural & spontaneous, comfortable even. Lily swings, which is actually pretty refreshing compared with a lot of ILM canon blitzkreig pop which tries like buggery to impress you into sensual submission yet ends up simply uptight for all the effort.
― fandango (fandango), Thursday, 4 May 2006 08:19 (eighteen years ago) link
so... is the NME going to jump on the Lily bandwagon?

I like this but I'm still kinda sceptical about the mega-hype brewing for her... does she have any ballads incidentally? I'm not sure how much, if anything, of an emotional connection I'm getting from her music so far.

SF: You've worked with Mark Ronson on his album, and on your album. His Radiohead cover is hot, but your collaboration on a version of Kaiser Chiefs' "Oh My God" is just jaw-dropping!
SF: Did he pick the track and you to sing it, or did you have some say in it?
LA: I actually picked " no one knows " QOTSA , but he made me do " oh my god " as he thought my voice was better suited to it .
>:(
This can only end in tears...

I've just got back from seeing her live. It was great. More report tomorrow as long as I can skive at work long enough. One of the reasons I was into her is that "Smile" hit me emotionally like no other song this year.
I'm fucking covered in sweat right now. Yuck.
("No One Knows" would be much better than "I Predict a Riot". I feel RONSON is the only thing that can fuck this up for her.)

Yes, Lily could well prove to be the Pat Boone to Lady Sov's Little Richard, although I quite like "LDN".

She gave a really good interview on, of all places, Seth Meyers' Late Night show podcast, and got into the Sheezus era a little bit and how she was flailing and unsure of herself and was basically making choices based on committee approval. It doesn't excuse some things, of course, but it does answer some questions.
