Lily Allen

3:rd July 2006 was the date that changes Lily Allens life. Born 1985 in Hammersmith, London, this was the day when her first single "smile" was released. She more or less got her break through thanks to her MySpace-page where she was and still are (2010) very active on by blogging and other kinds of posting.

Smile is about breaking up with a boyfriend and presented a fresh point of view of that subject. Check out the lyrics of Lily Allens Smile here.

Lily is very liberal towards sex and drugs which has made her a very interesting subject for the press that follows her everyday life a lot and writes more or less true things about her. Sometimes she has shown what pain in the aXX that can be, but she is also good at using it as a marketing tool. Again, her MySpace-page is very interesting as well as she has sometimes used it for her breaking news first, before the press knew.

Her music is very brittish because it is inspired by so many different styles. Live, she sounds more Caribbean than she does on records, and she is not afraid of using explicit language, which is very european and brittish to do in rock and pop music. Compare to American radio where they never plays the original explicit versions unless it is satellite radio.
