Lily Allen Announces New Album ‘West End Girl’

Groundbreaking UK pop force Lily Allen will release her new album ‘West End Girl’ on October 24th.

The incoming album is her fifth studio LP, and it comes almost exactly 19 years after her defiant debut turned Lily Allen into a huge pop star.

Out on October 24th, ‘West End Girl’ offers 14 songs, detailing her relocation to New York. Songs of self-discovery and self-awareness, the record was primarily crafted in collaboration with her musical director Blue May.

Executive producers on the album were Lily Allen, Seb Chew, Kito and Blue May; the cover art and illustrations were made by renowned Spanish artist Nieves González.

Recently pivoting away from music, Lily Allen’s excellent memoir My Thoughts Exactly won huge acclaim, while she starred in sold-out theatrical runs of 2:22 A Ghost Story and The Pillowman.

“I’m nervous”, the writer/singer reveals. “The record is vulnerable in a way that my music perhaps hasn’t been before – certainly not over the course of a whole album. I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now. At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be. In that respect I think it’s very much an album about the complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them. It’s a story…”
