Album Review: Lily Allen - Sheezus

Let’s hope Sheezus doesn’t dent Allen’s quirky and clever little catalogue of music too much.

More Lily Allen More Lily Allen



Despite Lily Allen's obvious sarcasm and blunt honesty, it's hard to find the humour or point of her new album, Sheezus, in amongst all the Auto-Tune and generic pop sounds. Lead single, Hard Out Here is a fairly accurate summary of the direction this album takes and considering Allen herself agrees parts of the record are rubbish, expectations shouldn't be high going into it. That said, the title track is easily the strongest, most interesting number, with its diva name-dropping and call-outs. Let's hope Sheezus doesn't dent Allen's quirky and clever little catalogue of music too much.
