Album: Hard Out There
Pop-provocateur Lily Allen returns with her first single since 2009.
After sneaking back with a(nother) Keane cover earlier this month on a Christmas advert for John Lewis, (see below) Allen drops a new track and video that takes on music video sexism. It's fun, really nothing new, and has a couple issues... but Lily Allen is back y'all. Why complain?
Part of me hopes, as slight as this is, that it's just a stand-alone "I'm back!" situation and not actually on her forthcoming third album. The video is cute, the sentiment is nice and always welcome, but Alanis did this all a bit better with her "My Humps" video, and while I get the reason for the auto-tune in the chorus, it just doesn't sound so good. I LOVE Lily's voice, and while yes... there's a lot of terrible auto-tune in pop music... but it just sounds awful. Maybe I'm being too hard on this. I just feel like she's hit harder in the past.
Don't get me wrong, very excited to have Lily back. Can't wait to hear more.
Get re-familiar with Lily:
Enjoy.
