Lily Allen

One thing is FOR SURE: you won't be able to play this back in 30 years and have it sound as 'fresh' as when it was first released! Ergo...It's not 'Uptown Top Ranking'... it will NEVER be 'Uptown Top Ranking'. All hail Althea and Donna.  Paris6876

Causing a commotion in blog-land, multitalented DJ and pop singer releases a first taster from her debut album: a pleasant slice of hip-hop and roots-influenced pop. If you are unfortunate enough to engage in a cyber chat with any member of her growing fan base, they will probably argue that “Smile” is one of Allen’s weakest moments. However, no one can deny it’s a considerable improvement within her family’s pop history, now that daddy Keith’s footie anthem “Vindaloo” has been brought back to life by the World Cup. In a few weeks, second single “LND” will hit the streets and that will make Lily Allen’s popularity rise to stratospheric levels.  shazam
