My favorite track off the album is the lead single "The Fear". Rolling Stone said, "The Fear" is a rant about materialism sung in the voice of a would-be starlet. Allen's rich-bitch protagonist just wants to wear "f**kloads of diamonds"; the chorus is meant to be where Allen drives home her big point: "I don't know what's right and what's real anymore/I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore." Check out her video here and pick up her album as soon as you can, you cannot afford not to.

Artist Hightlight: Lily Allen
Lily Allen does not give a hoot what you think about her, and that is what makes her new LP It's Not Me, It's You such an amazing CD. I was not really a fan of her first album but this one is a classic. I love that she takes her own route towards finding happiness without selling her soul to a overhyped type of production like auto tune or the "IT" producers like Timbaland or Weezy.
