Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Being, as she is, the daughter of prominent British actor Keith Allen, the cynics could easily dismiss the rise of Lily Allen as an act of backroom nepotism, talent-free starlet helped to the stage by the right connections. One listen to her debut album Alright, Still, dispels any doubts about young Ms Allen’s star quality. Possessed of a feisty wit and taste for urban storytelling that should see her compared to Mike "The Streets" Skinner, these eleven tracks of sunshine-friendly reggae pop cover topics including frustrating potential closing-time suitors ("Knock ‘Em Out"), being happy when your ex is having a bad time ("Smile"), and having a little brother who likes a bit of a smoke--and not just of the tobacco variety ("Alfie"). Wisely, however, Allen doesn’t let the grittiness of the subject matter tarnish the golden pop suss of the songs, a suite of gleaming productions by names including Mark Ronson and Gwen Stefani collaborator Greg Kurstin that take inspiration from at the lighter end of reggae and vintage rocksteady. Doubtless some corners of the press will pillory her as a poor role model, but there’s an engaging honesty to the likes of "LDN" - a love song to a city filled with teenage muggers, pimps and crackwhores, narrated by someone who’s cycling because "the filth took away my license". Like father, like daughter .--Louis Pattison


CD Description

'Alright Still' is the debut album from comedian Keith Allen's daughter Lily Allen. Taking inspiration from her London surroundings and the music collection of her parents, Allen delivers a mix of ska, punk, hip-hop and rock with a hefty dose of pop. The album includes the extremely limited 7" single 'LDN' as well as 'Smile'.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's more than alright!, 19 May 2007
By Justin Sydew "Rip" (Middleton, Lancashire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
First of all, I should point out that yes, while Lily does talk with a 'posh' accent and sing in a 'chav' accent, and her music is quite 'chavvish' in flavour, I sincerely doubt that it's a move to sell records. I suspect it's simply the sort of music she is into, and if we all went by that argument, then we should also lambast the likes of Eric Clapton for playing 'black' music, and so forth.

Onto the album - while most of the single pulls are reggae-flavoured (Smile, LDN), there is also straightforward pop (Everything's Just Wonderful, Alfie), although Lily's delivery is far from sugar-coated. Her lovely soft voice weaves effortlessly through the music and her sense of rhyming and timing are inspired at times. The album does come with a Parental Guidance sticker for a reason, though - Lily has slipped in the odd swear word in just about every song, or a reference to sex, so while the cursing isn't constant, be warned that the c-word does crop up, as does the t-word in Alfie and in both cases you get the feeling that Lily slipped them in because she finds it funny and could have easily left them out.

Subject matter seems to be split fairly equally between wry observations of the world around her (Friday Night, Knock 'Em Out) and digs at her ex-boyfriends (Smile, Not Big). Each song is varied and strong enough to stand out from the one that comes before. My personal favourites are Knock 'Em Out with its stuttering drumbeat (about unwanted attention from undesirables), Everything's Just Wonderful (a well-written anthem about the burdens of most young people these days) and Friend Of Mine, although I think that just abut every song on here is a winner. However, Take What You Take is an awful pop-by-numbers song which should have been left off in favour of the far more superior B-side Nan, You're A Window Shopper.

I believe that this is a fine album and one that proves Lily Allen to be a consummate songwriter and singer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The UK's brightest star., 16 May 2006
By Mr. D. S. Cooke "Cookie" (Totnes, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lily Allen has done a 'mike skinner' and created an album full of songs that catch something ephemeral in Britain and in London in particular. she has, as the streets man has done, been able to find a way to articulate a feeling that has yet to be articulated. the album is packed full of songs that tell stories of people she knows, peoples she's watched and the city she lives in. like a mini snap-shot of a summer day in LDN she has caught it all in a brief moment in time. everything perfectly balanced. and as she sees it.

Her songs are very summery and the release date is no coinsidence, she will be the feelgood artist of the summer. this years Jack Johnson to the masses. She already has a huge following on the internet and it continues to grow, with airplay on radio 1 and the beginnings of a set of live shows in London she is going to be HUGE.

check out LDN. getting alot of airplay and deservedly so. amazing talent!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Futures Bright the Futures Lily!!!, 19 May 2006
By P. J. Tiley "Music Mad Studnet Lad" (Portsmouth) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This girl is going to be huge!!! I heard her track London a couple of months back, this will be the song of the summer, and was so impressed with her lyrical skills and also the production of the song... Since then I have acquired a demo and there are some amazing tunes, check out Smile, Littlest things and my personal favourite Alfie...
