Lily Allen 'working on new album'

Lily Allen is reportedly planning a musical comeback.

The singer, who took a step back from the charts two years ago, was spotted writing new material at RAK Studios in St John's Wood last week.

Allen wants to record a third album there later this year and the LP could be released as early as next year, the Daily Star Sunday reports.

"Lily has been in the studio trying different sounds and writing new tracks. She's not at a stage where she can start recording but the new album is definitely under way and there's a chance it could be released early next year," a source said.

"When Lily retired she honestly thought she'd never record again. But she started writing for the new Bridget Jones musical and that gave her the bug back."

Allen has launched her own record company and the Lucy In Disguise fashion label while on a break from her recording career.

The 'Smile' star, who won two Ivor Novello Awards for her single 'The Fear' in 2010, has also married Sam Cooper and given birth to daughter Ethel Mary.

"Her life has changed so much since her last album and she now has a different perspective. Lily wants a more mature sound and is penning tracks about Ethel and Sam," the source added.

Allen had previously suggested that she would return to music as a country artist under her married name Lily Rose Cooper. Her last album was 2009's It's Not Me, It's You.

I'm skeptical but regardless, oh my gods all around.

[dbhmr]

ASAP plz.

[Stefan85]

Can she just get a hit in the U.S. already? (And no, I will not count 5'O Clock )

[Jack]

I never believed she wouldn't come back.

Artists need to stop saying they're "retiring" and just say they're taking a break.

I don't think they even need say that. After an album cycle it's implicit. Saying one is retiring or never coming back is just asking for trouble. In Lily's case, I'm sure she probably thought at the time that it wasn't something she wanted to do again, but she always came across to me as someone too interested in pop culture and music, and frankly too good at her job (as a popstar) to ever go anywhere for long.

YESSSSSSSSSSS

[Hierophant]

i would love it...

God I hope so. I miss this girl and her amazing lyrics. It's Not Me, It's You really was a gem (specifically "Everyone's At It" and "22").

[Jack]

I always thought her lyrics were slightly overrated. A lot of it was just a series of fairly basic, albeit 'spunky' rhyming couplets. It was more her melodies, style and actually vocals that did it for me.

Great news!

Not necessarily her actual lyrics, but her lyrical content and social commentary.

Lily Allen has confirmed that she is working on new music.

Allen announced her retirement from the pop world two years ago and, aside from a flurry of rumours that she could make a comeback as a country artist, has largely stayed away from the music industry ever since.

Now however she has confirmed that she is working on new material, responding to a question on Twitter.com/Lilyrosecooper about when she would be recording new music by saying: "You will be pleased to know that I am currently in the studio with Greg Kurstin. No big deal really, I'm just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing if anything sticks."

Greg Kurstin, who worked on Allen's two albums along with Mark Ronson, has also acted as a producer for the likes of Ladyhawke, Kelly Clarkson, Ke$ha, Foster The People and Marina and the Diamonds.

Lily Allen released her last studio album, 'It's Not Me, It's You', in 2009. She gave birth to her and her husband Sam Cooper's first child, Ethel Mary, in November last year and also recently turned her hand to running a London fashion store, Lucy In Disguise. Meanwhile her songs for the new musical version of Bridget Jones' Diary are set to be heard this year.

Shaking, crying, cumming and peeing all at the same time. I want it now!! The Fear still sounds as fresh as it did 3 years ago and Smile is a classic. Don't know how I feel about her going country but I know shell come up with something great as always.

[Gray.]

Soooo excited. I've missed her snarky lyrics and take on the world.

[blue]

Time for Adele, Cheryl and all the other British bitches to hang their wigs, cuz the kween of the UK is coming!

[Deleted]

My absolute favourite thing about Lily is that if she ever heard anybody say anything like that she'd probably punch them in the face.

[Deleted]

Pregnant again!

[soulsurfin]

^That's great news! Congratulations to her! :)

[bat1990]

Hopefully she has a low key pregnancy and delivery.

On an interview with Carson Daly, Pink said there is a collab with Lily on her The Truth About Love. Kurstin connections! Cannot wait for this future UK number 1 smash!

[Deleted]

Collab as in it features Lily? Or just that she wrote it with Pink and Greg?

[Brazilian Guy]

Feature!

[SuperTrouper]

"Hello, I'm Lily Allen, and I'm coming back, bitches."

Bye bye Lily Rose Cooper!

[Gray.]

God I'm so ready for new music from her. That tweet made my day.

[dzjx]

She has the John Lewis Christmas ad this year. for those not in the UK, each year their emotional christmas adverts are anticipated by many. They usually feature a British female singer covering a classic. Last year Gabrielle Aplin covered The Power of Love and it shot her straight to the number one spot.

This year Lily covered Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. Already at number 5 on iTunes.

^^Flawless.
