What Does Everyone Think Of The New Lily Allen Track?

I really liked Lily Allens last album. I liked the gritty cynicism of the lyrics. Quite wiity but oh so true. So she comes out with this new single "The Fear", and ok from a musical standpoint the beats are better than anything on her last album but the lyrics just irk me.

It still has the cynicism of her last album but it doesn't work for her anymore. "I wanna be rich and I want lots of money" -- she does? It's oh so ironic. She made it - why is she still moaning about the same things. Unless the verses are like a look back to her younger self or something?

Granted I'm sure the album as a whole will have a different vibe but... I feel like she got scared to change the formula that worked for her last record so wrote about the same things again.

All I know is, she's that chick who had those great nip-slips.

Riding through the city on my bike all day
Cause the filth took away my licence
It doesn't get me down and I feel ok
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless

Everything seems to look as it should
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
A fella looking dapper, but he's sittin with a slapper
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You might laugh you might frown
Walkin' round London town

All I know is that she looks fucked up without make-up.

I liked a few tracks of her first album, but not this, this lacks anything I like

"I couldn't comment on the meaning of the lyrics, but the song is nice to listen to, good voice ...plus she's a bit of a looker too! Haven't got her album though."

I have never heard of her before now so I couldnt say what I thought of it compared to her older stuff. Cant say I was blown away by what I have seen here though. Just not the kind of music I like.

They weren't that great. She looks hot in the video though."

I've never been a fan of Lily because while she says all this stuff about being common, her dad's a famous thesp and she's probably had a better upbringing than most of the people buying her stuff.

I liked some of her old stuff but I heard her singing live and it made me cringe.

I forgot her Dad was famous too.

To be fair her original album wasn't really that much about money; more about gritty London and getting chatted up in pubs and stuff.

Oh God my ears they burn...
try this go in 3:10s

I love Lilly Allen! I love the new song!

Nice song but I'm not a huge fan of her kind of music.

Struggling to see the relevence Cirdain?

All I know is she has 3 nipples, looks rather pretty and has some catchy songs (still love Alfy for some reason lol)....

I only liked her in that Common song called "Drivin' Me Wild".

She wants to do what to loads of diamonds!? How lewd!
