US EditionLily Allen turns heartbreak into art with searing David Harbour album
- On October 24, Lily Allen released West End Girl, written and recorded in just 10 days as a real-time account of her four-year marriage ending with David Harbour.
- After checking into a trauma centre earlier this year, Lily Allen told Vogue, `The feelings of despair that I was experiencing were so strong`, and explained her album is `inspired by what went on in the relationship`.
- Allen frames the album around named scenes, as she repeatedly invokes Madeline in Tennis and Madeline, describing an arrangement with rules and discovering an apartment with sex toys and letters.
- The Telegraph praised Allen's honesty, writing `Anyone who's been betrayed will welcome the bravery of her honesty`, and the album will likely fuel renewed tabloid interest while David Harbour's representatives did not respond.
- By invoking autofiction and pop precedents, Lily Allen, singer, blends autobiography and fiction in West End Girl, her first album in seven years, echoing Beyoncé and Dolly Parton's diss tracks.
