Lily Allen's Unreleased Album Set to Expose Music Industry Mistreatment
Following the massive success of her latest record 'West End Girl', which candidly details the breakdown of her marriage to actor David Harbour, singer Lily Allen is reportedly gearing up to drop another highly anticipated album. This new project is said to focus on how she has been mistreated by music executives throughout her career, shedding light on the darker sides of the industry.
Album Written Five Years Ago But Never Released
According to reports from femalefirst.co.uk, the album was actually written approximately five years ago but was never released to the public. There is now significant excitement building around the possibility of this unreleased work finally seeing the light of day. A source close to the situation revealed to The Mail On Sunday newspaper that Allen is actively pushing for its release, leveraging her current superstar status gained from her last album.
"There's now great excitement about Lily's unreleased album finally getting a release. She's really pushing the idea. Having timed the release of West End Girl perfectly to coincide with Harbour's comeback in Stranger Things, heaven knows what she's got in store for her other exes if the album does get released," the source stated.
Capitalizing on Her Current Stardom
The source further elaborated on Allen's strategic approach, noting that she is well aware of her influence in the music world at this moment. "Lily knows her currency right now, she is a superstar after her last album and if ever there was a time to get what she wants, it's now. There will be plenty of material - Lily has had rotten time within the industry. As a vulnerable young woman, there were many people circling around to abuse her," the insider added, hinting at the album's potentially explosive content regarding industry exploitation.
Collaboration with Producer Blue May
To help update the record for its impending release, Allen is reportedly set to work once again with British-born producer Blue May, who collaborated with her on the successful track 'West End Girl'. This partnership suggests a continuation of the raw, personal style that resonated with audiences in her previous work.
Insights from Personal Experiences
In 'West End Girl', Allen hints that her former husband David Harbour was unfaithful to her, and she has openly admitted that her experiences in her second marriage have given her a deeper understanding of the pain her first husband, Sam Cooper, felt during their relationship. Speaking to The Observer newspaper, Allen reflected on the complexities of marriage, stating, "I've learned there are no baddies and goodies in a marriage but, having done things that were not very nice in my first marriage, I have a better idea now of the pain I may have inflicted. I've learned how horrible it is to be on the receiving end of that."
The Devastating Impact of Divorce
Allen has described getting divorced as a "devastating" experience that has left her struggling to trust other people. She shared, "It's just sort of devastating, really. It keeps you up at night and costs a huge amount of money and just goes on and on and on. And I hate feeling like I can't trust anyone. But there's something about dealing with an ex-partner and lawyers that creates an environment of feeling like you can't trust anybody or anything." This emotional turmoil likely fuels the authenticity and depth of her upcoming musical projects.
As fans eagerly await more details, this unreleased album promises to be a powerful statement from Lily Allen, blending personal revelations with a critique of the music industry's treatment of artists.
