Hear "Higher" and "Three" from Lily Allen's upcoming fourth record No Shame
Lily Allen has detailed upcoming fourth record No Shame and unveiled two astonishingly good new tracks - "Higher" and "Three".
The new numbers follow up thundering Giggs collab "Trigger Bang" to preview No Shame, which also features contributions from Fryars, Mark Ronson, Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig, Burna Boy, P2J, Lady Chann, and Cass Lowe.
"I believe that we as humans work through things by talking about them, and that's what making music is, for me," Allen says of the album. "It's sharing things that you hope are going to connect with people, not that are going to connect with algorithms. I think we are so led by outside forces in terms of the way we express ourselves nowadays, because we're so scared of what comes back. It's something I’ve always wanted to explore. It's why I went into it at the beginning, when it felt a lot more free."
Allen is playing a trio of sold-out shows for this month - her first since 2015 - with dates in Manchester, London, and Glasgow confirmed. Find out more.
Allen's most recent album, Sheezus, was released in 2014. Last year she released a Mark Ronson-produced Rufus Wainwright cover, and earlier this year she guested on a track by Nigerian artist Burna Boy - and he repays the favour on No Shame cut "Your Choice".
