Lily Allen Releases Smile single and Alright Still Debut Album
The last words must go to Lily herself;
"A lot of female artists, and male ones for that matter, are boring singers who don't say anything. Certainly not to my generation. With the kind of music I do you have to be direct and quite literal. I don't play an instrument, which really makes me focus on the vocal melody, and the lyrics are incredibly important to me. I'll beat myself up for ages over one line because I don't feel that the song flows as a story".
Of the record's eleven tracks, Lily says:
"I find it funny, that record company- speak of 'how many singles have you got?. I mean, why don't you just try and do an album of 11 singles, instead of three? So that's what I did".
And there's more:
"Pop should be popular, but exciting and interesting, like T.Rex and the Clash. Steps and S Club 7 shouldn't have been called pop - they should have been called shit ".page << 1 2 3 >>
