Critical Response

• "...dividing her childhood between council flats and film premieres, where she says times were hard for her single mum "what with three kids' school fees to pay". She gets expelled frequently, guzzles a load of club drugs in Ibiza, writes some brilliant songs about London life and becomes the queen of MySpace".—The Guardian¹

• "Musically, ska, reggae, and calypso are her major touchpoints".—Pitchfork²

• "Everyone in England assumes she traded on her dad's showbiz clout, but Allen actually built a grassroots buzz the new old-fashioned way -- posting demos to her MySpace page".—SPIN³
