Lily Allen covers Billboard magazine in its issue set for release 17 January 2009. Click for the magazine cover and be sure to check out the interview snippets below [Website – Amy Grindhouse].
Here are some of the 23-year-old British singer’s interview highlights:
On the style of her new music and how it has changed: ”I did a retro thing last time,” Allen says. “And since I did that, a lot of other people did it too. I wanted to separate myself from the group and move forward. People think I’ve intentionally done something more serious but I haven’t.”
On her celebrity status: “I’m still the same person,” she says after a lengthy pause. “But life has certainly changed.”
On the turmoil at her label while her music was being recorded: ”The label wasn’t in a place where I felt comfortable,” she says. “People were still getting laid off and I didn’t want my album worked on in an environment where people aren’t happy. I wanted everyone to feel a bit more . . . stable.”
On her reputation as an artist and being taken seriously: “The idea that people might think I’m a bit of a joke worries me,” she says. “That’s why I’ve worked so hard on making this record. I don’t think it proves anything to anyone else, but it proves to me what I’m capable of.”
