Lily Allen - Best pop album of the year?

Anybody else heard her? She's kind of dubby pop from England (is she big there?) Don't know know much about her, but I can't get enough of the album. Amazing Kaiser Chiefs cover, and a couple of really great singles. Not a bad track on it.

It's leaked to the torrent sites. It feels different to me. It's very catchy, dubby stuff, but feels a bit more lived-in than Gwen Stefani or the Streets or whatever. I dunno, it's definitely pop, but no other pop album has delivered better hooks or funny lyrics this year for me:

"There was a little old lady who was walking down the road
She was struggling with bags from Tesco
There were people in the city having lunch in the park
I believe that is called alfresco"

It's so simple it's genius. And the music is very playful, pushing on the boundaries of pop.

Alfie is the other one I heard I think and then another one about London I think.

I don't know about best of the year....but I like the album a lot. "Knock Em Out" is hilarious, especially at the end when she makes up b.s excuses like having herpes. Another one I like is "Everything's Just Wonderful". It sounds kinda mod. smile I wonder why she didn't put "Nan,You're a Window a Shopper" on there. It's kind of an off the wall song to cover. It sounds 20 times better than 50 cent's version though lol

Lyrically at times she does remind me of The Streets, but I can't fully get into the Streets. I like his lyrics, but vocally he's pretty monotone throughout everything I've heard from him. lol I like his stuff with Lady Sovereign though.

I have to track that one down, haven't heard it yet! Sounds fun. I just can't think of another pop album this year where I've not wanted to skip a single track.

I found July 17, but I'm not sure if that's the states or the UK. It's leaked to the torrent sites, however. I know the single is out on Itunes. I'll definitely be picking it up when the album drops.

Video here by the way (although it's pretty mean, not sure I like it!):
