Last fall Lily Allen returned out of no where with “Hard Out Here,” her first single in a long time.
Today the British indie-pop star has followed that up with her latest single: “Air Balloon.” There’s always been a heavy pop element to Allen, that much is obvious. I’ll admit, it is catchy. But she favors the easy pop a little too much here.
Her snark and bitchy attitude was something that worked interestingly with her sound. But that is no where to be found here, as there’s more of a light popness that is more style than substance. Interestingly the end of her chorus (the na-na-na-nah’s) sound very M.I.A.
It’s a fun track in ways, but here’s to hoping that the rest of her eventual album is a bit stronger.
Here’s “Air Balloon” below.
