Lily Allen – It’s Not Me, It’s You
A short three years after Lily Allen was thrust somewhat unceremoniously into the spotlight with the release of her first album, her second full LP has finally come out. While the first album showcased a girl who had been working hard for years to get famous, and the tracks showcased a lot of that work. They might have been based on a life that was partially created to garner more media attention, but the songs were undeniably fun (for the most part).
This album is a little different. Ms. Allen has been claiming for months to be headed in a different direction, and in doing so has lost some of what defined her first album. The songs have the same basic vibe (synth, drum machine, boys are smelly), but the songs don’t match the pure entertainment from Alright, Still. It seems like she’s gotten a bit full of herself, to be quite honest. The songs are still going to have the crap played out of them, though, because she’s popular and they aren’t really bad, per se. They just aren’t as good as you’d hope.
Will I play it on my show? Probably, begrudgingly. RIYL – Kate Nash, The Bird and The Bee.
