Lily Allen Takes Aim At Sexism In Comeback

Lily Allen has come out swinging at sexism in the music industry in her return to the limelight with new video Hard Out Here.

Adding weight to the growing chorus of opposition to the direction of global hits like Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines, the discussion has gathered momentum in the wake of Miley Cyrus' increasing sexualisation.

Directed by Christopher Sweeney, Allen has asked fans to join a Twitter dialogue under the hashtags #HOH and #bitches.

The English pop singer, who was one of the first artists to achieve global notoriety off an internet following, has released two acclaimed records, 2006's Alright, Still and 2009's It's Not Me, It's You. She had taken a step back from the industry glare until today.
