Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It’s always going to be difficult to assess a character like chav-pop mad-mouth Lily Allen, seeing as absolutely everyone has an opinion on her, regardless of whether they know who she is or how they arrived at it. Where does the kicking tabloid caricature end and the artiste begin? For these reasons alone you should be grateful for It’s Not You, It’s Me, as it finally crystallises all the chaos of the last couple of years into a succinct, sparkling and occasionally brilliant album. Of course it isn’t as sweet as her debut, Alright, Still (which did have a candyfloss side and bright eyes in spite of its wordy bravado), but it is just as cheeky if you allow for the glitter, sheen and high production values that are working to elevate her to Proper Pop Star status. This is not an album that sounds like it came from lying on her bed on a Sunday morning putting her world to rights from the night before, but listen to the eloquent javelin-sharp sarcasm of “The Fear”, touching confessions of budding love on “Who’d Have Known”, or revelling in the ordinariness of a relationship on “Chinese” and you recognise the talent that got everyone excited about the ladette Mike Skinner in the first place, even if on those two softer moments she evokes Kate Nash more than Kate Nash does Lily Allen, oddly. Overall though, this chic electro pop matches and sometimes surpasses the ska-lite DIY of her debut. --James Berry

yes, like the previous reviewers I've given it 'full marks'
the album gives a list of cleverly written lyrics which covers life experiences coupled with some really 'catchy' arrangements to match.
lily allen is a true talent with a unique style of her own.

It's a great album! Good pop combined with the 'crooning' sounds of 'days of old', combined with really cheeky lyrics. Will buy her first album now...

Much better than I expected - Lily Allen has a great voice and personality, both of which shine through in the recorded material.

Very good CD although I wish I had gotten the CLEAN version (a lot of bad language) but as I said a great product

Beautiful voice

No Lilly, it's definitely you.
Firstly, these songs sound like they were written, and sung by someone who was, at best, 17.If they were you could forgive their gauchness. Read more

ITS HER..!
Although not strictly a fan of her, this album is very good indeed. It makes a change to find original music with a social commentary, that everyone can relate to. Read more

Great album but yet another damaged case
Great album but the little plastic clips that hold the CD in place were damaged on receipt. This happens a lot and I haven't time to go to the Post Office to return stuff. Read more

value for money DVD/CD special edition
with real "honest" lyrics -- a fabulous CD. If you are a Lily Allen fan, you'll love it. Give it a listen!

Very Worrying!
No musical value whatsoever!
