Lily Allen个人资料：
有“英国天才女歌手”之称的Lily Allen是英国喜剧演员Keith Allen的女儿，极具音乐天赋的Lily Allen 2006年夏天正式进军Pop Music流行歌坛，首张专辑《Alright still》佳评如潮，《Smile》、《Littlest Things》、《LDN》等歌曲成为Lily Allen的代表曲。Lily Allen自己写词，能够熟练运用不同音乐元素，从 POP，HIP-HOP，到 DANCE 等，都是她的拿手好戏。在众多的音乐媒体眼中，Lily Allen 看起来将是下一位最有实力的英国女歌手。
她跟Arctic Monkeys一样，崛起于网络；跟Paris Hilton一样，都有个名人老爹。是以她个人专辑未出版前，居然已经成了媒体名流。拜myspace之赐，全世界不知多少人已经先见识过这个耍弄小聪明、看来既可恶又可爱的女生；如今她批评英国足球队与贝克汉姆的话又顿时成了全英新闻头条。从这些事来看，很容易找到理由讨厌这个叫Lily Allen的人，以及那首仅靠网络下载就登上全英单曲榜第13名，实体发行后顺利空降冠军的单曲〈Smile〉；更别提她那最早的限量黑胶单曲〈LDN〉在Ebay上已被哄抬至100英镑的天价。
出生于英国伦敦的莉莉，从小却是听着庞克与雷鬼音乐长大。共计换过十三所学校、在朋友眼中是个怪怪才女的莉莉，选择在十五岁离开学校、自我进修。有别于时下谈情说爱的流行音乐，喜欢挑战权威的莉莉，把她自身对前男友分手后求和的耻笑，写进她的首支发行单曲〈Smile〉。
莉莉的火辣尖锐，还不仅于音乐创作，就连歌坛大姐大麦当娜Madonna，也成为她炮轰讥笑的对象。在接受GQ杂志访谈时，莉莉批评麦当娜是「史上最被高估、名不符实的流行歌手。」就连之后她上电台节目时，也拒绝为这句话道歉，莉莉更解释说：「我不觉得光凭这句话，就可以断定我是个攻击性强的人。」「我只是回答问题罢了！」此外，当她一炮而红后、面对设计师主动送上的高档服饰时，莉莉甚至火大说道：「没有人可以穿得下这些衣服！能穿得下的，只有那些伸展台上的模特儿。」「这些衣服根本就是在告诉女孩子们，要节食才能美丽动人。但这根本就是不健康的行为！我才不信这一套哩。」
莉莉的直言不讳，与原创性十足的音乐创作，让英国专业乐评对她的首张专辑《Alright still》，佳评如潮、好评不断，包括NME、Mojo、Word、Q、Uncut、Time Out纷纷盛赞这张专辑为今年英伦流行乐坛带来新的看法，为「今年年度必备的流行专辑之一」、「继贾斯汀之后，流行歌坛最棒且最具突破性的一张专辑。」、「足以代表伦敦新声的重要作品」。此外，知名杂志Attitude甚至盛赞莉莉「为流行音乐和女性主义跨出了一大步。」首支单曲和专辑一鸣惊人、专业乐评一面倒的佳评，加上极具个人特色的行事风格，也让英国传媒不禁为莉莉冠上「排行小公主Chart Pop Princess」的称号！
也许这一切确实很有炒作意味，可听过Lily Allen那些经常走着Ska / Raggae因而很有夏日风情、半念半唱的歌，却很难忍住不跟着哼。首张专辑《Alright Still》由曼彻斯特知名DJ混音搭档Future Cut(也就是几年前曾找来歌姬Jenna G合组Drum’n’bass / Urban三人队伍Un-Cut的那两位)与全才嘻哈制作人Mark Ronson等各方要角坐镇的制作群，以放克、Space-Age Lounge甚至是Madchester风格为底，给足了这才二十出头的女孩极大的发挥空间，让她无碍的说自己想说的话，那些关于男女朋友之间，有点滑稽的情节与情绪，比方「You ask if we can still be lovers / Ill have to introduce my brothers」这类摆明是为了押韵但又很好笑的歌词。也许正如ID杂志所言「When’s the last time we had an opinionated female pop star？」，于是当新世代听见这么有主张，彷佛电影《Mean Girl》真人版的女生，伴随着悠然的律动，那热烈的回应就此爆发了。NME照例很夸张地说她将改变我们对流行乐的想法，我们不妨先听着莉莉的《Alright Still》来慢慢体会其中之意！
Lily Rose Beatrice Cooper (née Allen; born 2 May 1985), better known as Lily Allen, is an English recording artist and actress. She is the daughter of Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen.
Allen abandoned school when she was 15 and concentrated on improving her performing and compositional skills. In 2005, she made some of her recordings public on Myspace and the publicity resulted in airplay on BBC Radio One and a contract with Regal Recordings. Her first mainstream single "Smile" reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. Her debut record Alright, Still was well received, selling over 2.6 million copies worldwide and brought Allen a nomination at the Grammy Awards, BRIT Awards and MTV Video Music Awards. She began hosting her own talk-show, Lily Allen and Friends, on BBC Three.
Her second studio album Its Not Me, Its You, saw a genre shift, having more of an electropop feel, rather than the ska and reggae influences of the first one. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and the Australian ARIA Charts and was well received by critics, noting the singers musical evolution and maturity. It spawned the hit singles "The Fear" and "Fuck You", popular mostly in Europe. Allen and Amy Winehouse have been credited with starting a process that led to the media-proclaimed "year of the women" in 2009 that has seen five female artists making music of "experimentalism and fearlessness" nominated for the Mercury Prize. During 2010, Allen opened a fashion rental shop "Lucy in Disguise" with her sister Sarah, followed by the 2011 launching of her own record label. (wiki)
