Spotlight of the Day: Lily Allen


**Thank you to everyone for your patience while Spotlight of the Day went on a short hiatus! After some time and thorough research, the next candidate for the Spotlight of the Day is Lily Allen! Enjoy!! (Please contact me if you would ever like me to spotlight a select artist!!)


TuningIn2Music welcomes Lily Allen to the Spotlight! Twenty-two year old Lily Allen was born in North London, England to Keith Allen and Alison Owen. After her father left the family when Lily was only four years old, it was up to her mother to take full care of Lily and her many siblings. She attended over 13 schools and was expelled numerous tims for disruptive and inappropriate behavior. Finally, the 15-year-old decided to completely drop out of school. Allen eventually found work at a Plastic Fantastic record store and, after much rejection, signed with Warner Music in 2002 to start a musical career. Unfortunately, Allen still had a long road ahead of her. The executive who signed soon left the label and Allen found herself with nothing. Allen soon become interested in horticulture and planned on being a florist, but soon changed her mind and followed music once more. She continued to write songs and was signed to Regal Records in 2005, but received little support where she needed it the most.
Looking at various other avenues to achieve her musical goal, Allen focused on the well-known MySpace page. Allen created an account and uploaded demo songs on to her personal profile. Thousands of listeners stopped by her profile and finally Allen released two mixtapes of her own work. As she continued to cultivate a large fan base, magazines began to take notice, yet her label was still slow coming. As her self-written songs became more popular, it gave Allen the opportunity to gain more creative control on her album.
In July of 2006, Allen released her debut album, Alright, Still, in the UK and in January of 2007 in the United States. Her hit song "Smile" became an instant hit as her first single and was even nominated for 2007's Best British Single and 2007's Best British Breakthrough Act, but unfortunatley did not win either title.

Check out her video of "Smile" below!!

Ashlee Simpson Engaged? Pregnant?


Rumors have it that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, Fall Out Boy band member, may be engaged and even pregnant! Some reports state Simpson squashed rumors of her pregnancy and even an engagment to the media, yet, friends of the source say Wentz got down on one knee and presented a large diamond ring to the pop singer at the Live Earth even earlier this month. Apparently, she said yes pretty quickly! Some sources are even going as far as speculating that the two are keeping the engagement quiet as to not upset older sister Jessica since her marriage ended in 2006. If either of these are true, could Papa Bear Simpson be a happy camper? Probably not!

Mandy Moore Announces 2007 Tour Dates!

Singer/actress Mandy Moore recently announced the select cities she plans to tour this upcoming fall! According to her website mandymoore.com, Moore is co-headlining alongside 90's sensation Paula Cole, as well as also providing solo performances (denoted by the *). On June 19, Mandy Moore relased her fourth full-length ablum entitled Wild Hope. Collaborating with fellow friends and songwriters Racheal Yamagata, Lori McKenna and The Weepies, Moore stated that this album reflects who she is the most. For the past three years, Moore ventured into the likes of several movies, landing important roles in A Walk to Remember, Saved, Because I Said So and License to Wed. At the same, she caputured these experiences and used them to hone the skills she needed to gain a creative edge. According to her website, Moore stated "I can't go off and do a movie with Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow, Billy Crudup or Tom Wikinson and then come back to make a record where I, as a creative matter, am absent." The most important part of the record was the fact that Moore had the sole ability to co-write each song. By listening to each song on the album, fans can hear a more mature sound, rich of clarity, conviction and texture. It is through her words that people can finally understand her struggles through times of love, happiness, confusion and disappointment -- all through her very own eyes. She is touring this fall to regain back what she once had from the very beginning: her passion.
