Album reviews: It's Not Me It's You, by Lily Allen

====================
Lily Allen
====================
We all know who Lily Allen is by now, the cockney songstress famed for her dry sense of humour and quick- wittedness. After shooting to stardom following the release of the smash hit "Smile", Lily has gained millions of fans worldwide and continues to impress with her eclectic collection of songs. This album is only her second and has already proved more popular only increasing her ever growing popularity. She seems to have matured over the last couple of years but this hasn't taken anything away from her talent, if anything, it has added to it. To date, there are two studio albums from the Lily Allen collection:


Alright, Still... (2006)
It's Not Me, It's You (2009)

====================
Tracklist
====================
01. Everyone's At It

====================
My Favourite Tracks
====================

====================
02. The Fear
====================
A great comeback to the music scene with this song, the first release from the second offering from Lily. It's a well thought out track, apparently about how the industry, or being famous in general can become too much and is something that she doesn't really want too much of. I think this track is a whole world away from the likes of 'Smile' and 'LDN', it has more of a serious undertone, not lacking that famous Lily Allen magic though! It's not overly 'poppy' but still has a catchy chorus that will stick with you all day. It has a nice chilled out feel to it but not too chilled out if that makes sense? Anyway, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's one of the best releases of the year, especially as it's only April, but I'm pretty sure it'll be high up there by the end of the year! "I don't know what's right and what's real anymore, and I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore, when do you think it will all become clear? 'Cause I'm being taken over by the fear". 10/10.

====================
03. Not Fair
====================
This track is fantastic! Lily's second release from the album and a brilliant choice. I don't think that I've heard anything like this for a very long time, it's very original to say the least. With this track you can see bits of the old style showing through in the lyrics but with a different sound. After listening to the lyrics you will no doubt see what the song is
