Alright, Still  >>

Being, as she is, the daughter of prominent British actor Keith Allen, the cynics could easily dismiss the rise of Lily Allen as an act of backroom nepotism, a talent-free starlet helped to the stage by the right connections. But one listen to her debut album Alright, Still dispels any doubts about young Ms. Allen's star quality. Possessed of a feisty wit and taste for urban storytelling that should see her compared to Mike "The Streets" Skinner, these 11 tracks of sunshine-friendly reggae-pop cover topics including frustrating potential closing-time suitors ("Knock 'Em Out"), being happy when your ex is having a bad time ("Smile"), and having a little brother who likes a bit of a smoke--and not just of the tobacco variety ("Alfie"). Wisely, however, Allen doesn't let the grittiness of the subject matter tarnish the golden pop suss of the songs, a suite of gleaming productions by names including Mark Ronson and Gwen Stefani collaborator Greg Kurstin that take inspiration from the lighter end of reggae and vintage rocksteady. Doubtless some corners of the press will pillory her as a poor role model, but there's an engaging honesty to the likes of "LDN"--a love song to a city filled with teenage muggers, pimps, and crack whores, narrated by someone who's cycling because "the filth took away my license." Like father, like daughter. --Louis Pattison

Laugh In  >>

Remember the days when Kate Hudson's mom was the next big thing? The days when you could say Dick on TV and mean it? The days when TV was veeeery interesting? You bet your bippy you do! Well now those days are back - sort of. If only for a half-hour, you can now relive the golden age of Goldie Hawn (and her riotous gang of funny friends) on this soundtrack to one of the most varied variety shows to ever grace the little screen. From a Russian rendition of Mame, a chorus line of joking judges, a heroic march for barn animal rights, and a truly laughable lyric line to a newscast that admits to predicting the news before it happens, it's all here. Even the infamous joke wall makes an invisible appearance or two. 13 tracks.
