Lily Allen album plans have resurfaced, and this time she targets music industry figures. After her 2023 release, West End Girl, focused on her ex-husband, Allen now aims at executives who mistreated her.
The singer, 40, wrote the album five years ago, but her record label, BMG, refused to release it. At that time, her career had slowed, and the label did not support the project. Now, Allen is determined to finally publish it.
A music insider said the album will spotlight men who bullied or abused Allen in the past. Each song focuses on a different individual, but she uses fictional names to avoid legal issues. The insider added that Allen faced serious mistreatment as a young artist.
In 2018, Allen publicly claimed that a music executive sexually abused her. She revealed that the unnamed man tried to take advantage of her after a party, and legal settlements followed. This experience shaped the themes of the unreleased album.
To modernize the record and avoid legal problems, Allen works with British-born producer Blue May. The two previously collaborated on West End Girl. Recently, Allen stayed in Los Angeles to finish the project with him.
Industry observers predict that the album could create a major stir. Sources say Allen is timing the release carefully, following the success of West End Girl and her growing public profile.
Fans can expect songs that are personal and pointed while still protecting identities. This approach mirrors Allen’s earlier work, blending biting lyrics with emotional storytelling.
Meanwhile, Allen balances her career with family life. She raises Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 13, and channels her experiences as a mother into her music.
As the Grammys shine a spotlight on the music world, Allen remains a topic of conversation among artists and executives. The anticipation for her album shows her enduring influence and relevance.
The Lily Allen album promises raw honesty and unapologetic storytelling. Listeners can expect a record that revisits past struggles and challenges the music industry directly.
