Most musicians would be a nervous wreck before their debut, but not UK ska-pop phenomenon, Lily Allen. The
21-year-old singer remains cool and collected even with all the craziness over the U.S. release of her album,
Alright, Still. Perhaps it's because Lily remains pretty levelheaded about fame, even though she's been
heralded as "the archetypal singer-songwriter for the iPod generation" by NME. (When we mentioned that
accolade, she hadn't even heard about it!) "I don't think I am that," she says. "But it's a nice thing to
hear." Wanna hear more from Lily? Check this interview, then watch the vid from her first single!
