‘West End Girl’ has landed at Number 13 on NME‘s 50 best albums of 2025 list, where the collection is described as a “raw nerve of a divorce album”.
The track ‘Pussy Palace’ came in at Number 21 in NME‘s 50 best songs of the year rundown. The entry reads: “Lily Allen lays the smackdown on David Harbour, the ex-husband and Stranger Things actor widely believed to have inspired her monumental comeback album ‘West End Girl’. ‘Am I looking at a sex addict?‘ she wonders over serene synths, proving what happens when you cross a famously outspoken woman. What was he thinking?”
Meanwhile, Allen has announced a butt plug-shaped USB Drive edition of ‘West End Girl’, which is “intended for data storage only”.
The pop artist has insisted that the LP is “not a cruel album”, saying she does not “need revenge”. She recently explained that making ‘West End Girl’ had been “an act of desperation”. The star had previously called the collection “a mixture of fact and fiction”. Allen also said ‘West End Girl’ had been inspired by the “storytelling” style of The Streets’ ‘A Grand Don’t Come For Free’.
The album delves into Allen’s “deep-rooted issues with rejection and abandonment” in the wake of her divorce. Elsewhere, a woman who is said to have inspired her new song ‘Madeline’ has come forward following her affair with Harbour. But according to Allen, ‘Madeline’ was a fictional character who was a “construct of others”.
