Lily Allen : Its Not Me Its You

Musically, IT'S NOT ME IT'S YOU grooving are almost the same with the previous album Lily Allen, Alright, STILL. Touch of electronics tone, digital technology assistance, beat drums and dance still dominate the songs in this second album. But overall, the atmosphere is quite reflective and down tempo with a wave piano loops and electronic collaborate.

Although the material is smart and really thoughtfully, but it’s content is not only too harsh and can not be overlooked as Alright, STILL. Allen attacked the obsession over young people and anti depressant, but her touch appear apathetic and quite far from reality.


Such as in track 22, a rough spiel about the social stigma about women who are still single at age 30 years, but Allen still own aged 23 years. And this is a song for behind the I Could Say, next track, which is committed to disclose her no readiness as too young.

F *** You, is an open letter that indicates her hate to the former United States president, George W Bush, that the concept is easily accepted, but it felt late in the topical and current.

Although Allen does not try to teaching the listener in each song-music, Allen is able to force with the experience and the love story of smart young people in the typical age of 20th. Who'd Have Known and the Chinese can figure also shows Allen a more gentle and loving. And of course, songs that make it beautiful to be a pop princess should be.
