Lily Allen // It's Not Me, It's You

Lily Allen has changed. Sporting some super glossy locks, clad in vintage Chanel, she has grown up and she is looking good. Lily’s week has got off to an amazing start by celebrating being Number One in the singles charts for the 3rd week in a row with, 'The Fear’.  Her 2nd album, ‘It's Not Me, It's You’, has also gone directly in at the top. Not content with this she has dominated the airplay charts and is top of the download charts too – the 1st UK artist to do so. On this second album Lily’s songs delve a little deeper, however the listener is never deprived of the cutting wit we are accustomed to...  “Now I lie here in the wet patch in the middle of the bed, I’m feeling pretty hard done by I’ve spent ages giving head” showcases this. She may have grown up, but is clearly still capable speaking her mind.  This album continues with the upbeat “poppy” sound that we are so familiar with, but listen closely and you get a refreshing education on life and society.  Lily lives her life through her songs, giving the listener insights into her life and her mind.  Some of it pretty, some of it not. Everyone has an opinion on Miss Allen.  She makes it hard not to. She has been called a lot of names. Some nice, some mean, some deserved and some perhaps not. However, her honest, no bulls**t attitude, combined with her unique talent makes her incredibly likeable.
