Thieves By Tuesday*

I have varied reactions when it comes to Common’s music. At times I get aggravated (or is it too strong of a word?) in his performance at Kanye's "Get 'Em High". His performance in Smokin' Aces wasn't at all beyond compelling. But since he doesn't act for the majority of his time, I'll make this pass. But I was extremely surprised with this track. When I heard that Lily Allen was going to be on Common's new record, I was like whoa. Then when I heard the Kanye-produced track in all it’s glittery glory. Now who wouldn't get nuts with this bit of info? Anyway, the anxiety subsided, and although this track may be a wee old, it is in my opinion, one of catchiest tracks from the new Common disc.  Both Allen and Kanye have a liking for unearthing cool samples and reviving them in interesting ways, so “Drivin’ Me Wild” was expected to be a mind-blowing clashing of the genres. Lily Allen here is apparently a guest vocals whore. I suppose I would be too, if I get to work with these equally talented heavyweights. :)

Lily Allen is back with her new single 'The Fear' from her album, It's Not Me, It's You. In the video, Miss Allen goes from trailer trash to high class in a span of well... uhmm, 15 seconds perhaps? Complete with moving presents, loads of butlers that "suprisingly" dance like pros and of course Lily Allen looking absolutely fantastic.

This video is a must-see.

Here are bits of new info on Lily Allen 's upcoming album "It's Not Me, It's You." Miss Lily Allen’s sophomore album is out and about, and it will be released February 9, 2009 (4 days after my bday. haha) , and you can take a peep and download at the track list below.


I'ts Not You, It's Me" based on a few listens ahve a more elcotropop background in comparison to her hugely successfull debut album "Alright, Still." As many of the leaked demos from the album suggest, the tracks have been touched by a SOMEONE who's hot in the electropop industry,  The Bird and the Bee’s Greg Kurstin . Listen to the lyrics and get a gist of the sublime and slightly ridiculous lyrics only Lily Allen can do.

The Fear, is set to be released in January. The track is known to us previously as I Don’t Know when it was first posted on her MySpace back in the day.
With the track list below, check out the string of demos and leaked tracks from the album.
