Sudan Archives Takes Her Fiddle to the Club Record of the Year Nominees Will Represent Cultural Moments at 2026 Grammys Since crash-landing into the indie blogosphere two decades ago, Lily Allen’s greatest strength has been her voice — an airy soprano that can communicate disdain with a sighed lyric or an audible eye roll.
