I’ve long been a sucker for British hip hop (here’s me waxing poetic about Mike Skinner of The Streets) and while Lily Allen isn’t exactly hip hop, her brand of pop certainly has a lot of nods towards the genre whether it be the musical instrumentation or the bounce of the beat. Allen has got that distinctly British street swag that comes out through the entirety of this album, none more so than the sing-songy breakup anthem “Smile” which was a smash hit.
Standout Songs: “Smile”, “LDN”, “Shame For You”, “Take What You Take”
