Queen Lily isnt happy about her current state. Her contract states she needs to release 2 more albums but Lily isnt happy with her label.
Quote:
How many more albums do you owe?
Two. It might be one and a greatest hits. That's not because I want off my label. I just want to have more control. I want to put things out in the way that I want. I feel like I know my fanbase better than they know my fanbase. I communicate with them every day. I set it up on MySpace. I saw how it evolved and how it worked. I wish they would let me do it in my way.
Do you think your next album will come out faster than this new one?
I just want to get it done as quickly as possible so I can get out of my deal.
On Katy Perry:
Quote:
Right, and you always see "Lily Allen vs. Katy Perry" or something.
Because she's a girl and I'm a girl. That's it! I think in terms of humanity and evolution. It feels like the reason we play women against each other is because it's the last bit of power that men have. They're like, "Let's make them feel **** about each other."
You do namecheck Katy Perry in "Sheezus," along with Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Lorde and many others. I'm sure a lot of people will misinterpret what you say and think you're taking shots at them.
It's completely the opposite of that, though. I'm saying that I want all of them to be Sheezus, and I want to be Sheezus too.
On Lady Gagas slaytasic Billboard number 1 album with 2 top 10 singles (one being a promo single #yourfavcouldnever)
Quote:
I know, but I can still see the headlines of "Lily Allen attacks Lady Gaga."
It's just not true. And if she's not succeeding commercially because she's standing by what she does as art, then that's a ****ing great thing. That's to be commended. That's what makes a martyr. There's nothing wrong with that.
On Kanye:
Quote:
Do you think that Kanye West is going to mind that your album title is so similar to his?
No. In fact, I'm pretty sure he doesn't. He's, like, a friend of a friend of mine. I said to my friend, "Can you just make sure he knows that it's a respect thing and not a piss-taker?" The message has been received and sent.
Lily saying shes going to have an album line more iconic that "surfboardt"
Quote:
When I heard that I tried to think of another pop sing in history that talks about periods. I couldn't think of one.
[Laughs] It's groundbreaking! I'm proud of that. It's ****ing awesome. I think that "period" is going to be my "surfboard" with Beyoncé. People will wear sweatshirts to my concerts that are just going to say "period."
Where she talks about her lack of US success, her label not allowing her to change her name to "Lily Cooper" and her love/ hate relationship with the internet.
