I understand this song was a hit in the UK/Europe, and as a result Lily Allen is pretty big there. For some reason it didn’t happen here, and therefore most Americans aren’t too familiar with Allen or this song.
The song ‘Smile’ from her album Alright, Still has got a great melody — pop / reggae-tinged — should have been a huge hit here in America, and even on mainstream radio. Here is is the video of ‘Smile’ — Enjoy!:

Watch: Tuomo “Don’t take it too hard” – BEST SONG OF 2008!
This is my favorite song from 2008. In fact, it’s one of my favorite tunes written in the new century.
This talent, Tuomo, is largely unknown, and I believe he’s still unsigned. For those of you in the American Music Industry, he’s hiding out in Finland. FIND HIM, AND SIGN HIM!
This song stands up to anything Stevie Wonder has ever written, and Stevie is an absolute favorite of mine. This video was filmed in Tokyo.
Enjoy:
