This is where Ms Allen takes on the always tricky problem of the followup album. "Allright, Still" was one of the brightest pieces of pop to be released in the decade. It combined a sassy modern outlook with retro musical settings.
"It's Not Me" leaves me disappointed. The sensibility is still there, but musically it's more similar to Madonna's club music than the R&B/ska of Allen's first album. For my tastes, there's just not as much to sink your teeth into.
