Discography:

2006 Alright, Still
2009 It's Not Me, It's You
2009 F.U.E.P (EP)
2009 Paris Live Session (EP)

This would have to be one of my favorite female singers. I love her style of music, her sense of humor in some of songs and well everything else!

I've been lucky to see her perform live at the Big Day Out! She was hilarious (even though she was a little tipsy on stage) she still pulled off a huge crowd and a great performance, which only made me love her music even more!

Her real name, Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper born in England has written two album's. Her debut album "Alright Still" and her final album "It's Not Me, It's You"

I have listened to some songs from her first album, but also read its has a Ska and Reggae style about it, while her second album has an electric pop feel.

This is the first album (which I would like to get, it already has some great songs on it)

And this is her second album (Which I have already got)

Unfortunately Lily Allen has left the music scene saying "she sees no way that she could ever make a profit making new records" However she has launched her own fashion label and done other things.

Anyway please enjoy some of her songs and comment back!

Songs from her first Album "Alright Still"

Smile - "Alright Still"


Alfie - "Alright Still"


LDN - "Alright Still"


Songs from her second album "It's Not Me, It's You"

Hmm this isn't my style of music at all, but I think the way she sings with an accent (I have a thing for accents) is awesome. I thought she did a pretty decent job on redoing this Kaiser Chiefs song.

Re: Lily Allen Thread

I'm somewhat familar with Lily Allens music! I've heard "Smile", "Alfie" and "**** you" before. I agree with Whaler that her accent helps her stand out. She's pretty good with wordplay as well and has a little bit of edge lyrically, a swagger in her delivery and an attitude that makes her appealing! In "**** You" I like how the music in parts sounds likee it could be a Carpenters song. If you like her another artist you may like is Kate Nash. They remind me of one another in the cheeky attitude and poppy melodies that they have.

I like that one musically as well too Whaler! May be my favorite! Mark Ronson has some good collaborations!

The Fear is an alright tune

Re: Lily Allen Thread

I have, It's Not Me, It's You, really like that, especially The Fear and Not Fair. LDN is my favourite from the ones I've heard from her first album.

I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of Lily on the music scene, even though she has said she has no plans to make another record.

I would so love it if she came out with another album! Glad you like her too Tray! Great to have some Lily Allen fans

I never seen that video before Whalerfan! It was a great watch! and I never heard of Kaiser Chiefs before Definitely agree with her accent, it does help her? So what about Aussie Accents

Re: Lily Allen Thread

Funny vid, the members of the KC's were the guys sitting in the booth watching Lily's cartoon. Aussie accent? Name me a vocalist that doesn't lose it while singing..I am stumped right now. Sarah Blasko?

Missy Higgins as a example, she's an Aussie singer where you can here the Aussie accent come through when she sings. I reckon its helps her along.



Here's an example of her: Have a listen
