Lily Allen “Fuck You”/ (Doc Fritz Fossa Nova Remix)
It’s feels odd that the powers-that-be would decide on pushing Lily Allen’s politically-minded “Fuck You” as <em>It’s Not Me, It’s You‘s next international single seeing as though the track seemed to carry a lot more weight when it premiered online last summer.
Back then (when it was going under the title of “Guess Who Batman”), it’s main target (ol’ President W.) was still in office, giving the song a hefty controversy buzz, and the kiddie-TV candy-pop beat that formed the cut’s musical foundation felt like an exciting sneak peak to how Allen’s then-still mysterious, ska/ reggae-bypassing sophomore album was going to sound. Twelve months later, both “Fuck You”‘s edge and charm feels lost: Bush is long gone, and the production isn’t as fetching (and now, perhaps a bit too cavity-inducing) now that we’ve had to live with it for a year.
What could Allen possibly do to re-invite some attraction back to a long-tired new single pick? How about align it with a clever enough music video.
Which just so happens to be the case with “Fuck You”‘s accompanying clip: a first-person, day-in-the-life-of concept given a neat twist once “Allen” starts “screwing around” with the universe that surrounds her.
