The Official Lily Allen Thread; New album "No Shame"

Its not really to my taste... not yet. First problem I have is the vocals. I just don't think she sounds good at all (and I have always had an adverse reaction to that 'Brit pop' droll).

I find the faux social awareness kind of patronising too, nor am I fan of the repetitive choruses which has been a theme in pop/indie music of late.

Sorry Brad but aren't you an expert on faux social awareness?

I liked one of songs... but the name blurred as the drum loops seem to be so similar

It's enjoyable and she's not lost her way with those great dumb-smart lyrics. But two things: It's pretty much exactly what you would expect a Lily Allen comeback single to sound like. And, well, it's not a patch on "The Fear".

Yeah, it's amusing and I like what she's saying, but musically speaking it's not up to her previous stuff. I hope there's better to come.

Another new song and video. By far the best thing we've heard of the new stuff.

good god at those lyrics :manson:

she's always been a bit irritating for my liking but at least she could craft catchy pop tunes. her new music has so far been abysmal. is she self sabotaging her own career? what drivel, really.

Yeah, it's dire. Her last album was fantastic. The new stuff is mostly atrocious.
