New It Girl

Triple J has been featuring the debut album of this london lass called Lily Allen. She seems to be the next It girl in music, with her popularity spreading through her MySpace site and now with her music about to be flogged on radio. On her MySpace site she has the musical description of pop/indie/ska which I'd generally agree with although Triple J have mentioned reggae a fair bit and I'd have to agree to that tag.

I can see why she'd be the next It girl of the music industry as her music has all the right elements: catchy tunes, cheeky lyrics and unique voice. She's an attractive lass with actual curves, not another emaciated strip of meat from the pop star production line. She seems to exude cheeky fun and well articulated in her strong, apparently honest, opinions.

It remains to be seen whether she's another rebel-without-a-cause fresh out of the indie pop workshop. For now her songs have hooked into my head and there's something about her looks which just keep you intrigued. I'll have to turn in my membership of the bloke's club and buy her album which should be available just now or very soon, if only to play them repetitively enough to get out of my head. Definitely one to listen to AND watch.
