Get Bitten!

Let Lily Allen's sassy words sink their teeth into you.

Lily Allen Alright, Still (EMI/Regal)

There’s no way around it—I’m infatuated with Lily Allen. Maybe it’s the sassy attitude or the British accent, or the way her voice, lilting and sweet, contrasts with her pissed-off, super-cheeky lyrics. Alright, Still is back-to-school jam with the sweetest ingredients—plinky piano, warm organ rolls and wind chimes—swirled into catchy ska-pop beats while Lily coos a little schadenfreude at the expense of her ex, her dope-smoking brother and the guy at the bar who won’t leave her alone.
