Pitchfork

Unveiling the next phase in her crafty scheme to win America's hearts and scale her charts, Lily Allen has finally announced a U.S. release date for her rollicking, Pitchfork-recommended debut, Alright, Still. And what better time for a Lily to grace the U.S. than the beginning of frigid February?

February 6, to be precise, will see the arrival of Alright, bearing the same tracklist that made the UK version a top ten smash. As previously reported, suddenly indie-savvy Capitol Records will do the dropping.

If this U.S. release is phase two, and Lily's previously announced U.S. tour (dates recapped below) is phase one, not-so-silly Lily even has a phase 0.5 of sorts to garnish her internet-cooked hype cake with some more buzz icing. She'll drop the Smile EP digitally on September 26, featuring the titular number one UK single, as well as two non-album tracks and a remix with which Pitchfork readers should already be familiar.

Smile EP:

01 Smile
02 Cheryl Tweedy
03 Absolutely Nothing
04 Smile (Gutter Mix)

Alright, Still:

01 Smile
02 Knock 'Em Out
03 LDN
04 Everything's Just Wonderful

06 Friday Night
07 Shame For You
08 Little Things
09 Take What You Take
10 Friend of Mine
11 Alfie
