There’s a lot of talk about Lilly Allen that has little to do with her music. Apparently it’s because she launched her career using Myspace, and she liberally posts on her blog. Who gives a flying squirrelbutt, I’m listening to her album, not having her over for dinner. Her album is filled with fabulous samples of Jamaican and Calypso riddims, witty lyrical turns, and something that none of her garage cronies have, a decent singing voice. “Smile,” “Knock “Em Out,” “Not Big” and “Friday Night” are all great, summery pop songs. Any lack of notable passion or depth is balanced by the lack of any real dud tracks.
