'22' songstress Lily Cooper (née Allen) has revealed that she will release a brand new album in March next year.
During an interview with the Sunday People yesterday, June 23, the hitmaker explained that she's currently working on new material that she is really excited about and plans to unveil it early in 2014:
"I'm really enjoying writing it and hope it will be ready for March. It is very different to what I've done before."
Quote:
According to the October 2012 issue of Q Magazine, the singer was currently in the studio, "throwing s*** in the wall and seeing if anything sticks... It's great to work at my own pace with no commitments other than to make music," she added.
Allen gave birth to her second child, daughter Marnie Rose, on 8 January 2013.
NEW MUSIC!
Quote:
Just last week, Lily Allen returned from her four-year musical hiatus with the utterly sweet cover of Keane’s “Somewhere Only We Know”. Today, she’s released a brand new composition entitled, “Hard Out Here”. Picking up right where 2009′s It’s Not Me, It’s You left off, Allen seamlessly marries two dichotomous concepts: glitzy pop music and real-world issues. Whereas the song’s reliance on Auto-Tune, cheesy R&B synth, and a chorus of “It’s hard out here for a bitch” reek of superficiality, it’s the perfect vehicle for the sharp-tongued Allen. With a crooked smile, she readily satires our image- and consumer-based culture, tackling issues of body image, gender inequality, and overall objectification with a brilliant mix of playfulness and outright indignation. It’s a girl power anthem for a new generation, defiantly proving Allen hasn’t missed a single step.
Watch the accompanying music video below, which sees Allen lambaste everything from obsessive plastic surgery to champagne-pouring rappers.
Love her. Have only heard ''It's Not Me, It's You'', and ''Smile''. And they're amazing.
It's Not Me, It's You is one of my favourite albums of all time. So brilliant.

i thought there was news of her being back in the studio but i haven't heard anything else since
She went back into the studio in August (I think) but she's only doing it in a relaxed way. She's "throwing stuff at the wall and seeing if anything sticks" (in her own words).
I doubt we'll have any news until the second half of next year. But at least she's in the studio! She'll put out another album (somewhat) soon; she already misses the stage.

i love her
