here comes Lily Allen: 7-date MTV tour including Webster Hall show + SNL + Leno + March tour w/ SXSW + Coachella + MORE
DOWNLOAD: Lily Allen - Smile (Feather Boom remix) (MP3)
Lily Allen is already well known and famous in the UK where her album Alright Still has been out since last year. In fact, it was just announced that she's up for FOUR Brit Awards - more than any other artist.
And she's well known on the Internet where she graced many a 2006 top-album list (including my own). And she's known in indie rock-pop circles that branch out into real life U.S. magazines like Blender and URB. They both have her on the cover right now. I saw her on three total covers at Barnes & Noble actually - the third one was some strange teen mag. The URB story is online too.
She's also already been on MTV (one of them), and on late night TV too:
And it's MTV's Discover or Download that's about to sponsor a 7-date tour that includes a February 10th show at NYC's Webster Hall (no ticket info yet). It will be her 2nd NYC show - or 3rd if you count her February 3rd appearance on Saturday Night Live. (Strokes-less) Drew Barrymore is hosting that night. One night earlier (Feb 2nd), Lily will be on Jay Leno. The above video is her on Jimmy Kimmel. Conan O'Brien is in the works.
In March she's touring again and playing SXSW. It's also rumored that she's playing Coachella AND Bonnarroo. Her new label Capitol Records also has deals in the works with Clear Channel, AOL, Yahoo, MSN, Rhapsody, and Nokia - all this to promote the January 30th U.S. release of the album.
Alright, Still will be the first full-length CD in the U.S. to include u-myx software, which allows fans to create their own mixes. In addition, the U.S. release will feature two bonus tracks - "Nan You're A Window Shopper" and "Smile (Version Revisited)." The latter is a remix by Mark Ronson.The song "Smile" will also be featured in the upcoming "The Sims 2 Seasons" video game.
We're about to be inundated with Lily. Will the US be as kind as the UK?

why are people so excited about her again?
Posted by dr.rockso | January 17, 2007 9:54 PM
isn't it obvious? Because she's hot. No way she's 1/100th as buzzed about if she's not attractive.

Yeah I don't really get the insane buzz (and really...she's not that hot). However, her album is certainly an enjoyable and breezy pop album. And yes, the lyrics can be pretty childish and simplistic, but if you check your snobbery at the door you might just find yourself bopping along.

she look pretty good in the face. those eyes are amazin. maybe its just her makeup or maybe that's natural. she can sing real well. the only thing that puzzled me was where she sang "at 1st when you cry, it makes me smile" wtf??? thats kinda mean really. lily allen should be a star in every country.

She is actully quiet good live. I like her. I thought she would be crud with the comment from MTV news a while back. "Maybe she should of stood infrount of fireworks and danced naked" [This is from australia, by the way] But shes good.

Lily is #1 on my list. She looks good. She sings awesome. what else could i say? Her songs will be played whenever I'm in the car since the release date on her debut album in the USA. Shouldn't ya come somewhere near Mississippi like New Orleans, LA or something? I got a lot of ppl hook to ur stuff. addictive.
