| With her much-buzzed-about debut album, Alright, Still, singer Lily Allen, the daughter of veteran British comedian Keith Allen, presents a bright, buoyant collection of pop songs that are smartly counterbalanced by her often-biting lyrical edge. On the breezy, immediately catchy "Smile," the sultry-voiced Allen takes pleasure in the woes of a former beau, while the bleakly upbeat urban ode "LDN" recalls an unlikely fusion of the Streets and Norah Jones. Though part of Allen's charm is in her day-in-the-life, U.K.-specific observations (see the punchy "Knock 'Em Out"), Alright, Still has enough sass, verve, and melody to appeal to a wide international audience.

 | Lily Allen - Alright, Still - CD By: Nik Dirga - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 2/16/2007 8:53 AM | | Another one of those British mega-hit imports trying to make it big in the states, Lily Allen is far more Arctic Monkeys than Robbie Robertson. Her singles "Smile" and "LDN" were hits last year in the U.K., and now Alright, Still has gotten a U.S. release. A recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live" is boosting her American attack.

- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[She] writes shambling pop songs, rooted in ska and rap, with cheeky rhymes....Lily Allen's an original."Spin (p.82)
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "ALL RIGHT, STILL is all about the stories behind the stories..." Entertainment Weekly (p.130)
- Ranked #8 in Entertainment Weekly's "Top 10 Records Of 2006" -- "[A] collection of irresistible pop songs imbued with both smarts and street cred." Q (p.118)
- Ranked #57 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006." Rolling Stone 7 of 10
In the tradition of Annie, Robyn and Stacey Q, Allen is a theoretical pop princess whose U.S. audience consists mainly of lonely-guy literary types. The twenty-one-year-old London brat writes shambling pop songs, rooted in ska and rap, with cheeky rhymes -- she never sounds like she's trying too hard - ROB SHEFFIELD
