All this talk about Lily Allen, which I was only marginally tracking,
got bumped up in the queue last night after my wife started talking about
the NPR segment. So I hit her sites and listened a bit. Very interesting
- whatever else may be true, she's going to make a lot of money.
What I noticed, though, was her phrasing. Her vocal rhythms remind me a
LOT of Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys, who I'm convinced has been
listening to a lot of Mike Skinner (The Streets).
Does anybody here know enough about these scenes to connect the dots for
me? Are there some real influences at work, or are the similarities a
coincidence?
