Artist Biography
Lily 'Keith' Rose Allen (born 2 May 1985) UK singer, daughter of Keith 'Fat Les' Allen. Signed to Regal / Parlophone records in December 2005, upsetting Polydor A&R man Seb Chew in the process (He described her as "The one that got away").
Her debut single LDN was released as a 500 copy limited edition vinyl on April 24th, 2006 in the UK. It was followed on July 10th, 2006 by Smile , which spent two weeks at number one and her debut album 'Alright, Still' was released in July 2006. The album reached number 2 in the charts. LDN was re-released as a single on September 25th, 2006.
Lily's sound is ska-pop, with a dash of social commentary. Easy listening yet thought provoking at the same time, so they say. Her vocal style is casual and, at times, whimsical - in a similar manner perhaps to Mike Skinner (The Streets). Lily has been known to have many celebrity admirers, including Justin Timberlake, The-P, Jo Whiley of Radio One and the actress Keira Knightley.
Her MySpace page has a selection of tracks to listen to.
