Alright, Still

Alright, Still is the debut album by British pop singer-songwriter Lily Allen, released on 14 July 2006 by Regal Recordings. Recording the album began with sessions between Allen and production duo Future Cut, and Allen's work garnered publicity on the Internet as she posted demos to her MySpace account before they were officially released. The songs are heavily influenced by Jamaican ska music, and their lyrics are conversational and farcical. Because there are many instances of strong profanity in a great majority of the album's songs, it was released with a Parental Advisory warning, though the song "Friday Night" remains censored on all versions of the album. The album was released to generally positive reviews among music critics. It was commercially successful in the United Kingdom, having been certified 3× platinum. Alright, Still has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The album earned a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at the 50th Grammy Awards.
