To be a bit stunned by Lily Allen’s new album

Given you clearly don't like her I'm finding it hard to believe you sat down and read her book. I disagree that it was at all lighthearted.

I think people are missing the interesting thing about Lily, that she’s openly flawed and her mistakes have been documented her whole life. She’s had a difficult upbringing and makes not secret of her struggles to emotionally regulate, her co dependency and other trauma related issues (including addiction, eating disorders)

she doesn’t hide when she’s awkward, when she says something in the moment or when a joke or dark humour lands badly. She’s not always polished and PR ready.

i think she’s clear that sometimes she is an arsehole. One thing she’s never claimed to be is perfect and without flaw. She’s not apologising for her mistakes and mistruths, shes owning them and demonstrating you dont have to be defined by them.

I don’t know what people would rather, that’s she’s so shamed and embarrassed by her past she either lives a life of constant apology or just… disappears so people never have to think of it again? Too many woman are shamed into obscurity and I think it’s great lily manages to bounce back. It’s not easy, for sure.

I disagree
She was very light hearted when she was selling her own cheating story for money.

What are you talkin about, there was no laughing about it in her autobiography?

Lily Allen paid female prostitutes to perform sex acts on her while she was married to the father of her children.

It does rub me up the wrong way that she cheats on the father of her children and laughed about it in her autobiography.
Then her husband cheats on her and she employs a load writers to create an album about how hurt she was by it and she’s suddenly relevant again.

Have you heard the saying “prevention is better than cure”? Of course abortion should be available but that doesn’t make it ok to not bother with contraception.

Completely agree, this album genuinely floored me. She's just so raw and honest about everything and you really do feel like you're hearing things you shouldn't be but in the best way. I've been a massive fan of hers for years and follow everything she does. Even her style has been on point lately, I actually just bought a Lily Allen polka dot jacket after seeing her in one recently and it's so good. But yes, the album is something else entirely, she really has set a new bar!

She doesn’t have a good voice.

I just can't see her as a singer. I hate her voice and she doesn't sound like she's singing.

It was a comment on the pharmacist saying the morning after pill was costing the NHS money. An abortion would cost more, everything me and DS have been through has cost way more than an abortion, because we've both needed intervention. He's still under the hospital pediatrician and will need another MRI in around a year. He's had a dietician, special milk formula on prescription, and needed a physiotherapist as well. So, so far he's cost the NHS a fortune. And yes, that's what the NHS is for, but it's also there for when you just need a tablet to prevent a pregnancy.

What are you talking about?

Disposable dog, disposable husbands, disposable sex workers, distorted values LA, therapy is calling. You can't buy what you need. A therapist may help you to see that. Pay for that instead of further exploiting sex workers.

Blue May is credited as producer and others too. Some videos on Instagram showing the writing process, recording of strings etc.

Does anyone know whether LA has someone who does what Guy Chambers did for Robbie Williams? The string orchestration on “Just Enough” is absolutely gorgeous. What a sad, sad ballad.

This was for pre-sale today. General release tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am I believe!!! @WeeGeeBored

Oh no! I didn't even know they were on sale. I would definitely have gone.

Just got tickets in the pre-sale to see Lily at the London Palladium - completely sold out now!!

Yes exactly!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@piscofrisco

what did Miquita say to you in the pub??

Never had any opinions about LA before this ( still don’t never listened to the podcast and haven’t read her biography) but I think the album is brilliant actually.

Both miquita and Lily openly chat about how much of a bitch miquita can be… to lily too

Have been rewatching it with my daughter and every time he's on screen she sings 'am I looking at a sex addict, sex addict' and it's kinda ruined hopper for me 😂

Ohhh, juicy about Miquita!? And unsurprising 🙈
The wedding dress was Dior I think and totally gorgeous - those photos are weirdly burned into my brain!

But hang on, she has all her personal issues dragged out in public via this album? Equally, she revealed the 'encounter' with Liam Gallagher in her Memoir, why be so public with your personal life if you don't like the attention or judgement it's going to naturally encourage?
