Lily Allen Addresses Album Delays
August 19th, 2008
With reports that Lily Allen had delayed the release of her new album due to the success of Katy Perry and her hit ‘I Kissed A Girl,’ the British songstress says it’s record company politics that’s holding up the release.
In a message posted on her official website Allen writes, “Now, the album. It has been finished for a while now, I don’t really know what’s going on with it.
“The record industry is a very political place at the moment and I am on EMI records, lots of people have been fired or have taken redundancy recently as the company was taken over by a private equity firm called Terra Firma.”
She continues, “Many of these people were people assigned to my projects and now I don’t quite know what’s going on. I’m sure everyone will find their feet soon enough and I’ll be able to put the album out soon.”
