Om Lily. Igen.

Lily Allen har tagit många (på nätet) med storm. Från ingenting förutom en myspace-sida till förstaplatsen på Englandslistan. Många kommer muttra och vägra lyssna på henne nu när hon blivit för stor för bloggosfären. Synd tycker jag eftersom hon är bra. Pitchfork är inne på en annan intressant sak i recensionen av hennes debutalbum "Alright Still" (som de för övrigt ger 8.3 av 10)

The other day a friend was talking about a development unique to this era-- the differences between peoples’ carefully cultivated online personas and their real-life selves. One might inform the other, or reject it, or reform it, or cannibalize it completely, but there’s always a push/pull at the center, and the task of managing and reconciling all that on a personal level is a relatively new thing. It’s just a hunch, but I think maybe one of the bonus reasons Alright, Still is compelling is because it inadvertently makes gestures to that whole phenomenon. It’s a through-the-looking-glass trajectory that begins with a MySpacer who’s got great tunes, good stories, and a funny way with commas, and it ends with a slickly produced pop album that isn’t all that far apart from pretty much any other UK female pop singer in terms of packaging and presentation. Somewhere between those two points is truth, somewhere behind it all is real-life messiness, and I think people are enjoying figuring it out, not to mention having another familiar co-ordinate from which to put it all together.
