Oh Sheezus! Lily Allen admits album flop may be her fault and music wasn't good enough.
Lily Allen has questioned the quality of material on her latest album 'Sheezus' while also suggesting that she suffered from a lack of confidence while making the album.
Having previously blamed her (now ex) manager Todd Interland for the wrong song choices, controversial singer Lily now muses that maybe her music just wasn’t good enough this time round.
“I put my trust in other people, which I don’t usually do. I usually go with my own gut feeling but maybe I wasn’t feeling as confident as I have in the past because of all the hormones."
"The first thing I came back with was
Hard Out Here and that was important to me, a real statement of intent, even though you couldn’t put it on the radio over here because it had too much swearing."
“I thought it did really well and
then management and the label chose to go with Air Balloon and I just think starting with something really aggressive and in your face and then going in a different *direction... people need to know what they are getting.”
Rather than sparking another musical hiatus, the drastic chart tail-off has made Lil, 29, determined to press ahead.
She says:
“Maybe the songs aren’t good enough this time, who knows? I just know I can’t wait to get back into the studio.”
