With her much-buzzed-about debut album, ALL RIGHT, STILL, singer Lily Allen, the daughter of veteran British comedian Keith Allen, presents a bright, buoyant collection of pop songs that are smartly counterbalanced by her often-biting lyrical edge. On the breezy, immediately catchy "Smile," the sultry-voiced Allen takes pleasure in the woes of a former beau, while the bleakly upbeat urban ode "LDN" recalls an unlikely fusion of the Streets and Norah Jones. Though part of Allen's charm is in her day-in-the-life, U.K.-specific observations (see the punchy "Knock 'Em Out"), ALL RIGHT, STILL has enough sass, verve, and melody to appeal to a wide international audience.
Personnel: Mark Nicholls, Paul Farr (guitar); Michael Rose (saxophone); Eddie "Tan Tan" Thornton (trumpet); Trevor Edwards (trombone); John Ellis (keyboards); Clive Hunte, John Waddington (bass instrument); Jonny Wimbolt Lewis, Paul Powell (drums).

Alright, Still album
 $12.05   
This Montreal ensemble's fiery debut is marked by surging guitars, soulful strings, driving drums, brilliant bass lines, and the quavering vocals of married couple Win Butler and Regine Chassagne. The group's song structures careen through a vast territory of musical and personal history, with lyrics warm with memories of childhood neighborhoods and deceased loved ones, resulting in an alternating current of joy and sadness.

| | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
Alright, Still CD music
$10.79
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of ...
| | Amy Winehouse Back To Black CD (2006)
Alright, Still music CDs
$12.49 
BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often ...

As a rapper, Caleb brings to the table a strong combination of charismatic, mainstream appeal and insightful, cleverly composed lyrics ranging from generous expressions of deep feelings to extreme political ideology. Caleb starting rapping around the year 2000 sounding more reminiscent of a conscious rapper, studying the likes of Wu-tang, Nas, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and the Roots. However ...
| | Barry Manilow This One's For You CD (1976)
Alright, Still album
$12.95
Prior to 1976 Barry Manilow had enjoyed some chart success and a steadily growing following, but he truly hit his stride on that year's THIS ONE'S FOR YOU. Generating no less than four Top 40 hits, including the Number one smash "Looks Like We Made It," the album also contains the bouncy, Broadway-esque "Daybreak," and the heavily romantic ballads "Weekend in New England" and "This One's for You." These songs find Manilow honing his commercially viable songwriting, dramatic delivery, and rich orchestrations, while his penchant for glitzy showmanship rears its head on tunes like "Riders to the Stars" and "Jump Shout Boogie." The EXPANDED EDITION, released in 2006, has remastered sound and four bonus tracks.
One of the cornerstones upon which Manilow's career was built, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU shows off both Manilow's compositional acumen and his casual, guy-next-door way with a song. He was always the master of Big Arrangements, especially in his '70s heyday, and the title track bears this out, starting with simple piano-based accompaniment to a solitary-sounding, contemplative vocal and gradually building to the kind of pop crescendo that is Manilow's stock in trade. The same device is employed, though to a more celebratory effect, on "Looks Like We Made It."
The uptempo "Riders To The Stars" gives us a glimpse of showbiz Barry, who sounds here like he'd be equally at home in a recording studio or on a Vegas stage surrounded by dancing girls and colored lights. In contrast, "Weekend in New England" is a poignant ballad full of longing. THIS ONE'S FOR YOU is an essential item in the Manilow canon, representing several sides of the singer's talent.
This One's for You -- the fourth album from Barry Manilow -- contained four Top 30 hits including Randy Edelman's stunningly significant "Weekend in New England" (Top Ten towards the end of 1976), and another Number One -- "Looks Like We Made It" cowritten by "Mandy" cowriter Richard Kerr and "Somewhere in the Night" cowriter Will Jennings -- a fact that begs the question -- why didn't Barry Manilow cowrite with the bevy of major songwriters who penned ...
