Strummer), Allen grew up as something of a trouble maker, being expelled from several of Britain's most exclusive schools.




In 2006, Allen released her debut album, Alright, Still, produced by sometimes Amy Winehouse collaborator, Mark Ronson. A sassy collection of cheeky pop numbers often set to an upbeat ska/reggae vibe, Allen's combination of sweetly retro-puffy party dress costumes and sharp-tongued barbs made hits such as "Smile" irresistible radio smashes and landed her a guest spot on Saturday Night Live.




Following the success of Alright, Still, Allen continued to make headlines for her romance and break-up with a member of the popular techno outfit Chemical Brothers and for her increasingly wild behavior and antics.




As of 2008, Allen was reportedly working on her follow-up album, tentatively titled Stuck on the Naughty Step (getting put on the "naughty step" is the British version of giving a misbehaving child a "time out").



When Allen's sophomore album finally hit shelves in early 2009, the title had been changed to It's Not Me, It's You. Lead single "The Fear" gained positive reviews as fans declared that Allen's knack for writing catchy, slightly retro pop tunes with disarmingly sharp lyrics remained intact.
