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, a talent-free starlet helped to the stage by the right connections. But 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 11 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 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 crack whores, narrated by someone who's cycling because "the filth took away my license." Like father, like daughter. --Louis Pattison
Album Description
Debut album by this critically adored British female pop vocalist. 11 tracks including the single 'Smile'. It's been a whirlwind couple of months for Lily Allen. After signing a low key deal with Regal, late last year, no one could have predicted how quickly she'd make an impression on the nation. Lily, like many artists, started posting tracks on her Myspace site in November 2005, so she could gauge what people thought. The response has been phenomenal. Listens on her Myspace site now are staggering, over 2 million and rising. The support from the press, radio and TV has been fantastic. She is already a 'red top' favorite with her honesty and sharp tongue, but also has fans across the digital world and within cult publications. Regal. 2006.
Album Details
The Outstanding 2006 Debut Full Length CD featuring the Single "Smile". "Lily Allen - the Cool as F**k Sound of the Summer" - Nme.

 Catchy Music October 30, 2009
M. Doody (Vista, California USA)
Nice and entertaining. Will have you singing along shortly after listening. Not for everybody but fits well with music lovers.
 Amazing, fresh and lively May 18, 2008
Nikita Caine (Seattle, WA)
I don't know what it is about her she is bizarre, a mix between Macy Gray and Regina Spektor with a little bit or Tori Amos spunk and even with the slightly spice girl hint of attitude replication, lily is amazing. She isn't as fake as everything else out there and she is adorable which makes you want to squeeze her cheeks and say it's alright love. The tunes are just catchy.

I LOVE THIS CD! And she's great to see live if you get a chance.

Jordan Nafie (Jupiter Florida)
This is absolutely the most catchy, well produced album out there. Way outside my normal interests (Dungen, Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, Blur) but I can't seem to get the songs out of my head! Highly recommended by a picky music person. Looking forward to the next release, you rule Lily!
Guilty Pleasure! August 25, 2007
DJ Ridge (Allentown PA, USA)
It's not often I feel compelled enough to write my thoughts on a cd, but this chick Lily Allen deserves a few minutes of my time. I can't praise this cd enough. It's completey out of my diverse collection of genre....but after a few hundred listens to this cd (literally), it really hits every genre of my interest, coming to realize that this beauty is in a genre of her own. I do hope she continues on a successful path, if her follow up is even HALF as good as her first disc, I will love it just the same. Cheers to new talent, and to one who knows how to present good music. No fillers AT all on this cd, every song is infectious and addictive. Buy this cd, you will have no regrets. It's blowing me away! Cheers!
