I <3 MIKA!!! Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It was only because Lily played on a UK chat show, that we found out, otherwise we might have been in the dark until anyone on here discovered recent concert vids, or anyone going to an upcoming concert would have seen him on stage. wow so he is touring with her now and everything:shocked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read today that she said she's touring the US starting April 1 and her schedule is open for the whole month so I'd expect some dates very soon. She did all ages shows in Toronto so you might get lucky this time around. Keep an eye out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposite from those who take a trip to Canada in January and spends hours and hours outdoors… I hope it gets approved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Doesn't look like I'll be going now. My nephews girlfriend just texted and doesn't think she can afford to go. Understandable, i'm a bit strapped myself at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violet_sky Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) I smell a major case of Cutting Crew-ish borrowing in her new album. Is it just me or has she listened too much to Take That's 'Shine'? EDIT: Oh, okay, just read in the booklet that she actually really credited them. However, the whole album doesn't sound very unique to me. Edited February 8, 2009 by violet_sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Oh, okay, just read in the booklet that she actually really credited them. However, the whole album doesn't sound very unique to me. Yeah she said in the summer that it wasn't even going to be on the album because she'd ripped it off and couldn't be bothered with the paperwork. I guess she sorted it out because they eventually gave her permission to use it. I find the Fear sounds like a Barenaked Ladies song, although not in a ripped off way. It just sounds as if it has been written by them in the same way Billy Brown sounds like a Beatles song. Generally speaking though no one has done anything truly original since the 1980s so everyone is subject to this criticism. It doesn't bother me as long as they do it well and are influenced by good music and not some crap I hated the first time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that her new album is one of few in which I find bits within almost each song of that I'm sure I have heard them elsewhere. She's probably really good with influences. However, I don't regret having bought it, it's really quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't regret having bought it, it's really quite enjoyable. Yeah, the enjoyable part is all that matters for me. I love just about everything Mark Ronson does from influencing the sounds on Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen's last albums to sampling other songs to make new ones or just plain covers. I like all the horns, sax, his artist/song choices, the new arrangements, etc. But something like Gym Class Heroes' Cupid's Chokehold makes me think "no talent hacks". I couldn't stand that Supertramp song when it was on the charts the first time and some monotonous talking over it doesn't do much to improve it.

Soaring Simpson Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm not finding the sound very original either. I'm liking the lyrics though. Trouble is, they wear off (with me anyway) quicker than tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstar Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 There was an article about Lily in our local paper today. It made me laugh. In the last paragraph, the reporter wrote "Ms. Allen had a lot more to say, but nothing that could be printed here,"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, they wear off (with me anyway) quicker than tunes. i agree with you. my sister (who doesn't know English) still enjoys some mika songs like Relax etc. but she got quickly bored with Lilly's first album. She thinks they all have similar tunes. First she said "smile" was better than relax. now the opposite. i still enjoy listening her first album though. Also i liked the new one ,she is a good song writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) I am quite enjoying Lily's new album. Thank you to the friendly donor who made it possible for me to have a bit of listen today. The song that has the nasty word in its title (which I will have to remind myself when kids are around) actually reminds me of a Carpenters song (the beginning). *edit - I remember the song now - "Close To You"! *Hums*...why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near...
