I've tried and I've tried and I've tried to hate this album but I just can't

I'm not entirely sure why I obtained it in the first place but god damn its catchy and I find it on my play list quite regularly.

I think I initially was prejudiced against her for some reason, I suspect I thought she was a advocate of the 'chav lifestyle' but her lyrics are actually more of an cynical insight into the negative side of UK youth culture and pretty amusing.

Hmmmm, not sure where this thread is going apart from to say if you haven't heard the album or your only experience is seeing 'Alfie' on MTV then try and put that out of your head and give the album a try, its got a some cool musical stylings and is pretty accessible, Allen's voice maybe a little 'mockney' for some and her range isn't the appeal as much as the observational lyrics.

MB Score 7/10, recommended
