Album Description It's Not Me, It's You, is the follow-up to Lily Allen's critically acclaimed 2007 debut, Alright, Still. The album finds Lily in top form, creating a record Blender's recent "In The Studio" feature described as "part God, part country and all middle finger." Allen wrote and recorded the album's 12 songs with producer Greg Kurstin (the bird and the bee), who worked with her on three songs for Alright, Still - "Everything's Just Wonderful," "Alfie" and "Not Big." On It's Not Me, It's You, Lily's characteristically sharp observations find expression in a variety of musical styles, with influences ranging from the Jazz Era to country and western to dance music. "Highlights include `Everyone's at It,' a synth-pop song about prescription drugs that features Allen on xylophone; `He Wasn't There,' which matches emotional lyrics about her absent father to a jazz groove; and `Not Fair,' a saucy country song about an inadequate lover," said Rolling Stone. "We decided to try and make bigger sounding, more ethereal songs, real songs," says Lily, who will be touring the U.S. in the spring. "I wanted to work with one person from start to finish to make it one body of work. I wanted it to feel like it had some sort of integrity. I think I've grown up a bit as a person and I hope it reflects that."
Album Description US LP picture disc presing. 2009 sophomore album from the British pop-ing,nue, the follow-up to her 2006 platinum debut Alright, Still. It's Not Me, It's You was written and produced by Lily and Greg Kurstin (one half of the duo The Bird and The Bee) and has a dancier, darker, more mature edge. And Lily proves she's still the provocateur with a heart of gold. The album features twelve brand new tracks including the first single 'The Fear'.

Love it, Love it, Love it!!!!!!!!! :) December 13, 2009 Randy A. Reese (Altoona, Pa. USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was just introduced to Lily Allen's music a few weeks ago, and I had to buy the CD's. I am so into the music, and the fact that this artist is not afraid to just be who she is. The world could learn much from her, and I just adore her totally. She is an awesome representation to the gay community........
Go Lily!!...... Randy in PA.
way too large box December 10, 2009 F. Berg (Netherlands) 0 out of 3 found this review helpful
Strange method of recordpackaging by amazon??
Very large box with some airy plastic material inside.
Miracle the record survived the overseas transportation.
Decent recordboxes too expensive??
3-1/2 stars -- Quite a change in subject matter November 29, 2009 Anthony Rupert (Milwaukee, WI) 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Lily Allen first got notice from appearing on a whole mess of mixtapes before her first album was released, which actually helped her in getting some mainstream appeal. But that celebrity came with a price, especially since she was so outspoken and ended up inadvertently insulting just about every other female singer around. Thus, I wasn't surprised to hear that her next album would be called It's Not Me, It's You.
But I AM surprised at some of the subject matter. For instance, when I heard "Who'd Have Known", I was like, "What? She's singing a song about a GOOD man?" She also doesn't curse much on here (in fact, I really don't think the EXPLICIT CONTENT label is necessary), which is good because I was starting to think she was swearing just for the sake of swearing. Anyway, highlights include "Never Gonna Happen" and the single "The Fear". The album's closer, "He Wasn't There" (which I believe is about her stepfather), also stands out.
There are also a few missteps, however. As reviewer B. Martin suggested, Lily tends to slip up when she tries to go political. "Everyone's At It" apparently suggests that most of the world are addicted to antidepressants (unless that's a metaphor I don't understand), and "Him" is a very bizarre tribute to God (if you can even CALL it a tribute). And as far as "F You", well, I normally don't have a problem with anti-Bush songs, but wouldn't that feel better if Bush were, I don't know...STILL IN OFFICE?
A few other tracks falter somewhat too. The speed-singing during the chorus of the otherwise decent "Back to the Start" doesn't work, and the childish "Not Fair" is not fair to have to listen to. It's Not Me, It's You isn't a bad album but Alright, Still was a little more interesting. B.I.F.

Not for everyone. Still very artistic in its quality and intrigue. Makes you sing along with the catchy tunes bouncing with the music.
