Desire Avenue

21 year old songstress from Britain. The whole young-and-rebellious image has been done thousands of times, except Lily does it really really well.

She's dominated my playlist in the past week since I discovered her music. Videos for "Smile" "LDN" and "Littlest Things" are on YouTube.

I think the Smile video's great. I like the style of Littlest Things. I don't see much of a difference between her and Natasha B.... I have a soft spot for brunettes, though. And she is definitely cute.

she'll be on SNL tonight woo hoo

i've seen the song 'littlest things' a couple of times on mtv now; it's quite cute indeed but somehow sounds very english too, too much of that would kill me

Lilly is kind of okay (although she is a bit of a gobby madam).

i think lily's great! she seems to get a lot of stick in some quarters, but i find her refreshingly frank - and she's not scared to reveal a vulnerable side too. if it's all an act, then it's a very good one.

although it's very untypical of what i listen to, the album has a lot of wit and some nice choons to boot. like the specials influenced 'friday night' alot.

I've heard some of her stuff but it doesn't really do a lot for me. Sweet singing voice though, and her lyrics are a cut above the usual chart fodder.

I heard why she was kicked out of school

She irritates the hell out of me, I wanna push her down a flight of stairs

Her version of the Kaiser Chiefs Oh My God was criminal

hehe, I really wouldn't push her down some stairs, I'd get Amy Winehouse to do it for me....

Now Amy, ahh sswweeet beehived Amy, she's a rebellious and classy singer, and she's convincingly mental too....

Amy is fabulous, like a real old-school star.

I've been singing You Know That I'm No Good for 6 months, almost tempted to cover it for a lark. She's fantastic and it's great to see her having success after her much overlooked and superb debut!

And she's on telly tonight from Glasto (so too Bjork,shd be interesting).Alas I have a gig and my video's fucked.

Oooh how I miss Glasto, we have one crap festival a year, and who gives a cat's shat about Powderfinger or Silverchair anyway?!?!?!?!

I hope she's hammered and hollering her lungs out

She generally is.

Both albums are great, I hear them a lot at work thanks to a colleague. Her writing has such sharp teeth, I love that.

Yeah...so Littlest Things has become a deeply sentimental song for me and an ex. I find myself listening to it on repeat waay too much.

I've decided there are some songs on her album that make me want to puke and some that are just feel good songs. She's nothing spectacular, but I love her accent.
