Project Alpha 26

It’s finally time for a Lily Allen song! Ms. Allen’s first album, Alright, Still, although its title is [sic], was a breath of fresh air. I’m a sucker for British pop (expect to see more of it pop up later in this series), and I don’t know if there’s been a better such album in the last decade or so. Her followup, It’s Not Me, It’s You, is not the masterpiece of its predecessor, but it has quite a few good songs on it, and today’s remix, by some DJ named Christian Borbau, is a nice take on “The Fear” (22 million views on YouTube, holy crap), Allen’s first single off that album. Borbau’s remix throws some goofy effects and looping at the original and comes up with a kind of dreamy, oddly assertive take on the tune. It’s not a huge departure but I was really looking for some way to get a Lily Allen song on here, so thank you Mr. Borbau for that.

Here’s the song: The Fear (Christian Vorbau Remix) – Lily Allen
