BEATCRAVE FAV: Lily Allen

Almost everyone’s heard of Lily Allen by now. Her lyrics are catchy, edgy, and sometimes even crass. Her demeanor is far from professional. Allen is known to be quite mouthy about anything everywhere but she knows how to put her opinions down on a damn good beat.

Her first album, Alright, Still, was so popular in the UK and Europe that fans in the States began illegally downloading it causing her label to release the album here. With songs about dissing guys in the bar (Knock ‘Em Out), a little brother being a lazy pothead (Alfie), pimps and their crack whores (LDN), and ex-boyfriends who overcompensated (Not Big), Allen proved she had her own rhythm without caring what anyone else thought about it. As she wears dresses with high tops, and lays around topless in public areas, Allen continues to be her rad self.

Allen comes out with her new album, It’s Not Me, It’s You, on February 10th and we’ve got all the details on this troublemaker. Check Lily Allen out in our BEATCRAVE FAV series then vote for her at the end of the week if you think she does a good job bitch slapping reality into music!
