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.

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.
