Lily Allen, Alright Still B+

Lily Allen's Alright Still is straight-up a great time! Like fellow Brit imports The Streets and Arctic Monkeys, Lily spends the majority of her album bumping from club to club cataloging her humorous, often raunchy inner-dialogue. Smile is the song you've probably heard (it broke her on myspace in Britain, where she's gone on to sell 1,000,000 copies of Alright Still, an obscene number for the little Island that once ruled the world). Each song is a pop nugget, with irresistable hooks and choruses made for spring days. The rhymes are tight, and the lyrics pointed. Highlights include Not Big (a brutal break-up song), Alfie, Knock-em Out, and the surprisingly sweet Little Things.

I picked it up on itunes for $7.99. Definitely worth it.

Great cd, It feels like she is bitch slapping you right and left. But you don't mind, because she delivers each smack with cute little adorable smile on her face.
