Alright still

Description

A wild child now twenty years old, tossed from neighborhood to neighborhood since her earliest childhood, expelled from numerous schools, falling into the drum & bass scene in her teenage years, a fan of the Specials and the Slits, Rip Rig And Panic, T.Rex, Blondie, Wreckless Eric, Kate Bush, Prince, and Eminem, Lily Allen has been making waves in England for a few weeks now. Like "Smile," the opening track with an incredible freshness musically (a sort of calypso pop teased by a rebellious melody like a bedhead), the ten songs on "Alright, Still" also shine with their lyrics, which display a surprising maturity that has not gone unnoticed by the English press and "New Musical Express."
