lily allen - the mixtape

hell.o.

 

well, before the world goes nuts over this new pop princess, lets get a few things down on record :

 

- lily has a fucking huge amount of friends on myspace. thus proving me wrong that that place doesn't work, yet again. more detail : here

- lily is the offspring from funny man keith allen. i watched his documentary on that king of bling bloke recently. hmm. oh, and what with his involvement with fat les, i can understand why people are not keen to find out his daughter is going to storm the charts this summer. i put it to you, they are fun haters.

- lily is a strange nu-breed of pop star, combining a little of annies electro cool, a chunk of mia/diplo beats, and a slice of lady sovs sassiness all wraped in dose of cuteness. top of the pop beckons.

- lily's album has been given some touch up by friends to the stars, mark ronson. in my book, this is a good thing. the man knows how to craft a fine dance-pop tune as well as give it the cut-n-paste action, so lets get it going.

- lily has been given space in vogue, spun the decks at yoyo, and interviewed by a nutty blogger : here

- so far only one record is available - an ultra limited 7" on emi's regal imprin that is now available via ebay for a chunk-o-cash, though i suspect that the track, 'ldn' will indeed get a proper release sharpish as soon as this first phase of interest wanes.

- lily has sorted out a mixtape, of course. tis hidden away online, but i have uploaded it for all to hear. well the first 10 of you. combining her own pop with classics by such folks as squeeze, dizzee, small faces, beats international, wu-tang its a veritable feast for the ears. all in a cd-r friendly 192KBps format. excellent. catch her first mixtape : here

 

there is a strong chance that by the end of the month i will be totally fed up with lily allen, but until then ..
