Layout made by Exclusive® LayoutzLily Allen es esa cantante y compositora con un extra?o destello en sus ojos que ha causado estragos en la red a toda mecha. De peque?a, "era muy solitaria, la verdad. Fui a 13 colegios distintos, as? que nunca tuve tiempo de forjar amistades duraderas. La m?sica se convirti? en mi cuerda de salvamento".Nacida en Hammersmith, Lily creci? muy r?pido. "Escuchaba m?sica punk, ska y reggae, cortes?a de las colecciones de discos de mis padres. Nos mudamos por todo Londres, Shepherds Bush, Bloomsbury, Islington, y absorb? toda la m?sica que me rode?. Me expulsaron de varios colegios y me enviaron a un internado, porque pensaron que aquello me refrenar?a, pero hu? a Glastonbury y a muchos otros sitios cuando ten?a 14. Me iban el jungle y el drum and bass. Era evidente que no me gustaba la autoridad. Imagino que supe desde muy pronto que nunca har?a un trabajo en el que tuviese que estar todo el d?a en una oficina".Finalmente, Lily abandon? la escuela a los 15, cuando qued? claro que sus necesidades creativas no estaban siendo satisfechas. "Siempre he le?do mucho. Era frustrante cambiar tanto de colegio porque sent?a que no pod?a expresar mis sentimientos tanto como hubiese querido. Los libros y la m?sica me ayudaban a hacerlo. Empec? a obsesionarme por temas bastante arcanos, como las historias sobre evacuaci?n en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y libros sobre la aristocracia del siglo XVIII. Empec? a sentir que quiz? pod?a hacerme o?r. Pero quer?a escribir acerca de mi propio mundo de una forma entretenida. Y eso hice".“Riding through the city on my bike all day‘Cause the filth took away my license……Everything seems to look as it shouldBut I wonder what goes on behind doorsA fella lookin’ dapper and he’s sitting with a slapperThen I see it’s a pimp and his crack whore”“Todo el d?a por la ciudad en la bici,Porque la pasma me ha quitado el carn?…Todo parece estar en su sitioPero me pregunto qu? pasar? tras las puertasUn tipo de aspecto pulcro sentado con una guarrillaDespu?s me doy cuenta de que es un chulo con su mejor puta”Las incisivas observaciones l?ricas de Lily no dejan traslucir su edad. "Muchas artistas femeninas, y tambi?n los hombres, en realidad, son cantantes aburridos que no dicen nada. Desde luego no a mi generaci?n. Con el tipo de m?sica que yo hago hay que ser directo y bastante literal. No toco ning?n instrumento, lo que me hace centrarme m?s en la melod?a vocal, y la letra es incre?blemente importante para m?. No quiero formar parte de un decorado, s?lo de pensarlo me pongo mala, y la mayor?a de la m?sica que escucho es de figuras desconocidas, con la que mejor me siento".“There was a little old lady who was walking down the roadShe was struggling with bags from TescoThere were people in the city having lunch in the parkI believe that is called alfrescoThen a kid came along to offer a handBut before she had time to accept itHits her over the head, doesn’t care if she’s dead‘Cause he’s got all her jewelry and wallet”“Hab?a una viejecita andando por la calleLuchando con unas bolsas de la compraHab?a gente en la ciudad almorzando en el parqueCreo que se dice “al fresco”Entonces un chaval se acerc? a echarle una manoPero antes de que tuviera tiempo para aceptarLe golpe? en la cabeza, le dio igual si la dej? muertaPorque se llev? todas sus joyas y su cartera”Y sus gustos... Entre toda una serie de artistas dance sin contrato y otros artistas figuran nombres como The Specials, Rip Rig & Panic, T.Rex, The Slits, Blondie y Wreckless Eric. Ah, y Kate Bush "cuando ten?a mi edad", Prince y Eminem.Lily fich? por Parlophone en diciembre de 2005. "Desde entonces todo se ha vuelto una locura. El apoyo que ha recibido mi m?sica por Internet ha crecido r?pidamente, despu?s lo m?s alucinante fue escucharla en la radio. La reacci?n ha sido tan positiva que me he quedado un poco descolocada. Pero estoy feliz y s? que las canciones pueden estar a la altura de las expectativas de la gente. Opt? por empezar editando LDN como un discreto 7” para empezar de una forma decente; s? que todos los temas del ?lbum son tan potentes que tenemos muchos m?s singles en la rec?mara".A mediados de 2006 se publica su disco debut Alright, Still, con Regal. El ?lbum contiene 11 temas, incluido su single de debut, “LDN”, editado en una edici?n limitada de vinilo de 500 copias, lanzado en abril de 2006.Smile es otro de los singles, un tema agridulce de venganza por un novio infiel.Lily Allen fich? por Regal a finales de 2005 y, al mismo tiempo, empez? a colgar temas en Internet.Acerca de los once temas del disco, Lily comenta: "Me parece curioso la forma de hablar de las discogr?ficas de ‘?cu?ntos singles tienes?’. Quiero decir, ?por qu? no intentar hacer un ?lbum de 11 singles, en lugar de tres? As? es que eso es lo que he hecho".Lily Allen is the 21 year old strange glint in her eyes singer/writer who has been tearing up the web at a rate of knots. When she was a young girl- "I was very lonely actually. I went to 13 different schools so never had time to make enduring friendships. Music became a lifeline to me."Born in Hammersmith, Lily grew up fast. "I listened to punk, ska and reggae when I grew up, courtesy of my parents' record collections. We moved around London... Shepherds Bush, Bloomsbury, Islington... and I absorbed all the music around me. I got expelled from various schools and was sent to boarding school as they thought it would be a restraining influence, but I ran away to Glastonbury and other places when I was 14. I was into jungle and drum and bass. It was obvious I didn't like authority. I guess I knew from an early age that I could never do a job where I'd have to sit in an office all day long."Lily finally left school at 15 when it became obvious her creative needs were not being met. "I always read a lot. It was frustrating moving schools so much because I always felt I couldn't articulate my feelings as much as I wanted to. Books and music helped me do that. I became obsessed by quite arcane subjects, like second world war evacuation stories and books about 18th century aristocracy. I started to feel like I could have a voice. But I wanted to write about my own world in an entertaining way. So I did.""Riding through the city on my bike all day 'Cause the filth took away my license... Everything seems to look as it should But I wonder what goes on behind doors A fella lookin' dapper and he's sitting with a slapper Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore"Lily's incisive lyrical observations belie her years. "A lot of female artists, and male ones for that matter, are boring singers who don't say anything. Certainly not to my generation. With the kind of music I do you have to be direct and quite literal. I don't play an instrument, which really makes me focus on the vocal melody, and the lyrics are incredibly important to me. I don't want to be part of a scene... the whole idea of that makes me feel sick... and most of the music I listen to is by outsider figures, which is where I feel happiest.""There was a little old lady who was walking down the road She was struggling with bags from Tesco There were people in the city having lunch in the park I believe that is called alfresco Then a kid came along to offer a hand But before she had time to accept it Hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead 'Cause he's got all her jewelry and wallet"Lily's current listening is not that of an average 20 year old. Even a cursory glimpse at her site shows a breathtaking appreciation of diverse music. Listed amongst a host of current and unsigned dance artists are names like The Specials, Rip Rig and Panic, T.Rex ("possibly the best band ever, ever!") The Slits, Blondie and Wreckless Eric. Oh, and Kate Bush "when she was my age", Prince and Eminem.Lily signed to Parlophone in December. "Since then it's gone mad. The online support I got for my music grew quickly, then the next thrill was hearing it on the radio. The reaction has been so positive it's left me reeling a bit. But I'm happy and I know the songs can live up to people's expectations. I chose to make LDN a low key 7" release to start things at a decent level ' also I know that all the songs on the album are so strong that we have loads more singles in the bag."
