I've always hated when artists publicly disowned their old hits, but it just seems dumb to me to actually disown your current singles off of the current album you're trying to promote. Funny thing is, I don't see much difference from "Hard Out Here" and Lily's old stuff. A very poppy track with lyrical digs at the music industry. "Air Balloon" and "Our Time" are a slightly different story, but they still seem very "Lily Allen" (the cutesy pop production, and of course the attitude she brings).

I, for one am very glad she kept it real. This is why i could not be in the music industry. The money is fab, but I'd go mad being a puppet. Not for most people. The money is so terrible for 99.9% of artists out there.

soundcloud.com/sheezusweptLeaking ETA: all of them sound good, but the singles sound very much out of place compared to these. Maybe a little dated too, but the writing is undeniably strong so idgaf.

"Miserable Without Your Love" is great. Reminds me a bit of something that would have been on her last album. I love it!

I haven't listened to the leak yet, but out of spite for her comments I want to tweet her something like, "Wow, Hard Out Here and Air Balloon are the best songs on the album!! <3"

I don't think anyone she be mad at her because she's vocal about it. At least she's not throwing a tantrum with her label and acting shady (lookin @ u Azealia). She's smart enough to know what's up. Anyway, the title track is out. Part of me thinks it's a bit too overzealous, but the other part of me thinks that exactly nobody in the industry could've pulled it off.

that's been out for over a month now George is late to every damn party. Bumping 2 year old threads like they're recent endeavors.

Video is boring. It's about f**king time someone waged war on stan wars though. I'm not as in love with this as I thought I was now that the initial shock has worn off, but I think it's very much her lyrically. There's something missing in the production, though.

I doubt that's actually the next single, especially with that low-budget video. It's a nice intro to the album.
Also, the 4 other tracks that leaked recently were sooooo boring (only one is actually on the album, "Miserable Without Your Love," a bonus track), but hopefully the actual album doesn't sound like that.

"Miserable Without Your Love" is lovely, and it's clear why it's the only track the made album (granted, as a bonus track).
Really love the title track, especially the bridge. The lyrics are a bit jarring during the chorus which is probably my only qualm and the period stuff is ...yeah.

I kinda wish she was ripping into these pop stars rather than praising them (though I think she's legit laughing at Gaga, not with her), upon reflection, but that wouldn't really win her any favors beyond a few fist-pumping gifs from the Tumblr queens, so ultimately this was probably the smarter way to go.

She is kinda ripping them but also ripping the people who feel the need to compare them and the current state of things makes it so more than one female can be on top at any one time... with the male artists there isn't this kind of rivalry among their supporters...

Yeah, I get the impression those that she's singling out are also at fault for relying so heavily on their fans and fueling the wars. Although Lorde doesn't make much sense, but that seems to be the one person she's not chastising so much as saying "this bitch literally had one album out and you're all going ham for her".
I think they're slydigs more than anything, but maybe I'm reading too much into it because I want that to be the case. Either way you spin it though, she wins. If she's accused of firing shots, she can easily write it off as people being overdefensive and thus proving her point; or if no one calls her out, then she's basically gotten away with it.

While I enjoy her music, persona and honesty I find her to be a bit pretentious as she ends up doing exactly what she makes fun of. And not as well, either. "Smile" and "Littlest Things" were great though. This new stuff is indeed rubbish, and not just the singles.

Lol, what? What exactly is she doing that's so pretentious and contradictory? I'm not asking out of sarcasm, I just don't see it. Nothing she's discussed in her music has been contradictory to her life; in fact most of it is just silly fun.
I agree that the new material isn't up to her usual standard, but then we've only heard 4/12(?) so..
