Lily Allen

Long before she released the sweetest FU-themed tune called, well, “Fuck You,” Lily Allen was already a hero for the outspoken youth thanks to her clever rhymes, LDN girl swag and overall bad-girl-next-door-appeal. All of that, topped with an aggressive Myspace strategy, gained her fame back in 2006, and in a blink of an eye she was topping UK charts, traveling the world and even hosting her own TV talk show.

Allen’s career has been a true roller coaster for the last decade — she tried quitting music, changing her stage name (and, naturally, her sonic palette has been all over the place), but never lost one thing that made her an original Myspace celebrity: she always stayed interesting. Since her last album came out in 2014, we think the new one is long overdue.
