Single Review
Lily Allen - 22Lily Allen – 22

As I sit here writing this review, Lily Allen is having the time of her life performing at the duel sited V Festival which takes place at Chelmsford and Staffordshire , lapping up the rare British sunshine whilst performing her greatest hits, one of which happens to be her new single ‘22’ which is due for release on the 24th August.

‘22’ is a real upbeat summery song, it’s a bit of a powerful pop ballad and one that is best off listened to really loud during a house party whilst enjoying a nice jug of Pimms in your garden. Lyrically the song is about how life and society goes by so fast with the story of a girl who was 22 and had a bright future but is now 30 wondering where all those years have passed by and what she has nothing to show for it.

The b-side to the single is an instrumental version of ‘22’ and it just helps you appreciate the backing music that little bit more, the organ that runs throughout the song is very funky sounding and full of groove.

Since Lily Allen released her second album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ she has stuck to a similar formula with the artwork for her releases and I have to say that the artwork for ‘22’ is the best so far as Lily looks like a cute little doll sat on the 22 logo.

‘22’ is bound to follow on in the footsteps of all the previous Lily Allen singles as it is just as upbeat and catchy as what you would expect from a Lily Allen song.

5/5
