Lily Allen's new album is "dreamy sounding" and "derived from trip-hop" BUT ALSO "ELECTRONIC POP"

  • December 30, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Lily newLily Allen's been chatting away about her new album and basically she's not trying to be con­tro­ver­sial 'per se', just honest.

"It's no use just singing about being famous, or rhyming 'crazy' with 'baby' a million times over," she mused to Q magazine.

"I still want to write about things that are relevant to other people. And I like to be frank, whether it's about sex or politics or feminism… But if people want to call it con­tro­ver­sial, then, well, that's their thing."

So what does the album sound like, Lily?

"Some of it's dreamy sounding, derived from trip-hop, while some of it's more elec­tronic pop."

Exciting. Any working titles you can let us in on?

"I keep sug­gest­ing names when I'm drunk with my friends, stuff that we think is funny. Brilly Alent. And Illuminaughty. I don't think that will make the cut either."

Oh dear.
