By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) April 23, 2009 4:50 pm
The live setting is a rough go for any artist, but it can be a career killer for pop stars whose work hinges on crystal clear hooks and vocals. Just ask Ashlee Simpson. As a symbol for the online social networking generation, Lily Allen needs to do little more than live her life and tell the world about it. Seriously, she could never release...

Lily Allen — It's Not Me, It's You

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) February 13, 2009 12:51 pm
Lily Allen has it all wrong. It's not you, it's her. The sarcastic, witty, troublemaking woman from 2006's Alright, Still debut is gone and has been replaced by someone who'd rather moan about how people are fucking her over instead of singing about getting over it. It's Not Me, It's You's title is deceiving, as one would think Allen is still...

By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) April 9, 2007 4:30 pm
Lily Allen has been mainlining in North America for months now, so it's surprising that her most recent Toronto appearance didn't take place in a bigger room. Luckily, the girlish bounce of Allen's music would probably get lost in a plus-sized venue, and the Phoenix proved an apt stage for the performance in question. With just a single full-...

Lily Allen — Alright, Still

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) September 5, 2006 12:43 pm
Twenty-one-year-old Londoner Lily Allen's shimmery reggae-infused dance-pop makes you feel like you're the prettiest girl in school and who drives the cutest convertible Bug surrounded by all your slightly less gorgeous BFFs. You're young, carefree and — as it says on the ass of your short-shorts — sexy. Or to quote your vanity plate, you're a...
