Guilty Pleasure: Lily Allen

Listening to this makes me feel guilty, mostly because I feel a little brainwashed by it. Would I like it as much if there was no British accent? Is Lily Allen R&B's answer to The Streets? I feel manipulated by just about everything found here. The old-sounding horns and synths, that alluring accent, the smart snare-and-conga backbeats, the cutesy piano parts, the cooing background vocals. To be honest, it makes me feel a little dirty. Being clean is overrated anyway.
