“West End Girl feels like Lily Allen leaning fully into her sharp pop instincts while still keeping that unmistakable bite that made fans fall for her in the first place.

A smart, fun, and surprisingly heartfelt listen that proves Lily Allen still knows exactly how to make pop music with personality.”
