THERE is no escaping the sounds of Lily Allen at the moment.
Her number one hit single Smile is still getting huge airplay from radio stations and now she's released her debut album.
The daughter of actor Keith, the singer has a unique sound that is part angelic choir girl and part female Eminem with lyrics to match the latter.
Using ska and reggae beats to tell tales of heartbreak, little brothers and unwanted male attention the lyrics are punctuated with dilemmas of a typical girl's life.
From the simple ballad of first single Smile and reminiscing of an old relationship on Littlest Things to the loud Happy Monday's influenced Take What You Take this album is crammed with an eclectic mix of songs that get better with every play. Alright, Still has to be one of the best albums of the summer with its refreshingly different sound.
