ALLEN, LILY - No Shame (Sealed) (LP)

2018 release. No Shame is Lily Allen's most personal, insightful and fully-formed record to date. It includes lead song Trigger Bang featuring Giggs, which The Guardian describes as, a return to the melancholic pop that made her so intriguing. Working with collaborators Fryars, Mark Ronson, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Burna Boy, P2J and Cass Lowe to create No Shame, Lily says her goal was to make an album that is as truthful as possible. Speaking about the sense of catharsis that came with making the album, she says, I believe that we as humans work through things by talking about them, and that's what making music is for me. It's sharing things that you hope are going to connect with people, not that are going to connect with algorithms.
