Lily Allen Is Making New Music!
This is the news we have been waiting for for ages!
We were delighted to learn back in April that Lily Allen was coming back out of retirement to produce a new record, and today, we’ve gotten word that the singer is actually in the studio with her former It’s Not Me, It’s You collaborator, Greg Kurstin of The Bird and the Bee!
She wrote today on Twitter:
“You will be pleased to know that i am currently in the fucking studio!”
So exciting!!
New Music To Come From Marina And The Diamonds
How long has it been we have missed you!!
Marina and the Diamonds has announced her new album
Electra Heart, will be released on April 30th, with its lead single, Primadonna, dropping April 16th!
According to the press release:
‘Electra Heart’ is a huge leap forward for Marina and promises to be one of the most exciting pop releases of 2012, underlining that she is amongst the most talented young British artists around. A ground-to-air missile of ambitious and confident songs, ‘Electra Heart’ was written and recorded in London and LA over the last 18 months whilst on tour. Featuring 12 brand new self-written tracks, Marina handpicked a close group of collaborators to write and produce with including Dr Luke (Katy Perry), Rick Nowels (Madonna), Liam Howe (Sneaker Pimps) and Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen).
And Marina explains the concept behind the album:
”It’s an Ode to dysfunctional love. I based the project around character types commonly found in love stories, film and theatre, usually ones associated with power and control in love, as opposed to weakness or defeat. I guess it was a way of dealing with the embarrassment that, for the first time in my life, I got ‘played’. Rejection is a universally embarrassing topic and Electra Heart is my response to that. It is a frank album”
