The Fear - Lily Allen (Single)


Lily Allen's debut album "Alright, Still" was a majic mic of ska and catchy pop chorus'. So one must think that for her first single she would follow that same magic formula. But we're wrong.

Her first single (The Fear) is pure electro-pop to satisfy anyones craving for catchy pop. Her vocals on the track are fairly similar to her last album. But the track seems fresh rather than a stale sophmore album (which most people were expecting).

The only thing that brings the song down is the lyrics. Here's an example:

"Life’s about film stars and less about mothers
It’s all about fast cars and cussing each other "

But overall the song is a good start to a highly anticipated album...

Overall: 72/100
