Are these new Lily tracks any good? 22.04.08

So, we take it you've heard about Lily Allen's new direction by now. No, we don't mean her freshly-dyed blonde hair - though obviously that's very exciting if you like that sort of thing. We're actually talking about the two new songs she's posted on her MySpace page. Though they're a tad rough round the edges - "They are just at demo stage so don't be too hard on them," advises Lily - both songs are pretty fantastic.

 

'I Don't Know' finds Lily getting inside the head of a shallow, vacuous fame-seeker. Its lyrics are sharper than an Essex girl's stiletto, with this cutting couplet being especially on the money: "I want lots of clothes and f***loads of diamonds, I heard people die while they're trying to find them."

 

'I Could Say' is more personal, an optimistic post-breakup song on which Lily begins to realise that she's better off without her ex. "Since you've gone I've lost that chip on my shoulder, since you've gone I feel like I've gotten older," she croons, sounding both sad and hopeful.

 

As promised, both songs point to a new direction for Lily: more mature, more reflective, more electronic. However, anxious fans shouldn't smash their copies of Alright, Still in protest - the gorgeous melodies on display here prove that 'Littlest Things' was no songwriting fluke from Miss Allen. In fact, after listening to 'I Don't Know' and 'I Could Say', album number two can't come soon enough.
