    ‘Littlest Things’ is the third single to be released from Lily Allen’s outstanding debut album ‘Alright Still’. The track highlights a lovelorn sensibility without sacrificing Lily’s trademark, sharp, sassy, and Mike Skinner-esq lyricism, which ensures the track loses none of the spunky urban pop edge which makes Allen one of the most exciting artists of the last year. A gypsy inspired and heart-warming composition will no doubt add to those warm and fuzzy feelings which automatically land in our belly’s at this festive time of year, but the delicately played guitar’s add a mysticism which is altogether more saddening. Lily describes the track as the only love song she’s ever written and is an original and beautifully crafted example of the littlest things that make a relationship, sweeping aside grand gestures to make the song a powerfully understated and engaging soundtrack to innumerable break-ups.

    • Is it just me or is the intro a complete rip off of Radiohead’s Karma Police??

    • Its downright plagiarism - Thom Yorke should get on the blower to his lawyer!

    • Better still, Lily Allen. That’s a conversation I’d like to hear...Having said that, the twisted gargoyle of suburban angst is probably a fan of hers

    • I think Lily is the best thing that has come out in a long time, She is only saying things about other bands that we are all thinking!! Littlest things should be christmas number 1!!

    • I thought it was v. close to karma police as well as an 80s ballad (can’t remember the title). a little research later turned up that they might have sampled the Emmanuelle soundtrack. So don’t be so quick to judge...!
